Mollie Rae

What Mollie Rae's governing documents say

Mollie Rae Estates is a standard single-family home subdivision in Chino Valley, AZ. These Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) bind all lot owners. The HOA (Mollie Rae Estates Community Association) administers the rules and maintains common areas. Owners must follow architectural controls, maintain their lots, and pay assessments.

• Architectural review: Any exterior modification (construction, painting, fencing, landscaping) requires prior written approval from a 3-member Architectural Committee. The committee can disapprove based on harmony with existing improvements, aesthetics, or property values. Applications are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days of submission of all required information.
• Minimum home size & design: All residences must be single-level and contain at least 1,600 square feet of livable space (excluding garage). At least 10% of exterior walls facing the street must be stone facade. Roofs must use 30-year or better shingles.
• Landscaping: Owners must submit a landscaping plan within 3 months of construction completion and install it within 6 months of approval. Landscaping must be drought-tolerant, limit non-native grass to 300 sq ft or less, include efficient irrigation, and be designed to retain runoff. Owners must maintain landscaping neatly and free of weeds.
• Utilities & wells: Private wells are prohibited. All residences must initially have a septic system; when municipal sewer becomes available, owners must connect and abandon septic. Fire sprinkler systems meeting NFPA 13 are required.
• Fencing: All fencing must be 5-foot high rusted pipe rail. Front yard fencing requires Architectural Committee approval and must be decorative or retaining. Fencing must not obstruct natural water flow.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in accordance with Section 3.26 (text not fully legible, but typical restrictions apply: no storage of inoperable vehicles, towing of violating vehicles allowed).
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot to fund common expenses and reserves. Special assessments can be levied for unforeseen needs. A working capital fee is due from new owners. Failure to pay creates a lien on the lot.
