Clearwater Farms Property Owners Association HOA

What Clearwater Farms Property Owners Association HOA's governing documents say

Clearwater Farms is a single-family home HOA in Citrus Park, AZ, on acre-sized lots. These are the association's bylaws—rules for how the HOA operates—not the full property restrictions. The actual use rules (e.g., pets, leasing) are in a separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) referenced but not included here.

• Membership & voting: Each lot (acre) owner is a member; if multiple owners, they are one member with one vote per full acre (fractional for partial acres). Proxies allowed for up to 11 months. Voting by written ballot is permitted.
• Board of Directors: The board has 3 to 10 members, all owners, elected by members for staggered 2-year terms. The board can fill vacancies. Only nominees from the board's nominating committee may be voted on.
• Assessments & fees: The board can levy annual or special assessments limited to what is reasonably necessary. Additionally, the board may charge reasonable use fees for the irrigation system and roadways. The developer was exempt from assessments for 6 months after incorporation.
• Meetings & records: Annual membership meetings are the second Thursday of October at 6:30 PM. Special meetings can be called by a majority of the board or by members holding 1/4 of total votes. Board meetings require at least 5 days' notice. Books and records are open to member inspection during business hours.
• Amending the bylaws: Bylaw amendments need a 3/4 vote of cast votes. However, changing membership definitions or board powers (Articles III, VII) requires a 2/3 vote of all membership votes (not just those cast).
• What this document doesn't cover: This bylaws document does not contain the detailed property-use rules (e.g., architectural control, pet limits, leasing restrictions). Those are in the referenced Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions recorded in Maricopa County.
