Loma Linda

What Loma Linda's governing documents say

Loma Linda is a residential subdivision in Florence, AZ, governed by a limited Declaration that creates a Roadway Maintenance Association. This document establishes a non-exclusive easement for roadways and utilities, and sets up an association to maintain the unpaved roadways. It applies to lot owners within the described 160-acre parcel, binding all current and future owners. This is not a full HOA rulebook; it focuses solely on road maintenance, easements, and related assessments.

• What this document covers: This Declaration creates the Loma Linda Roadway Maintenance Association, grants an easement for roadways and utilities, and requires all lot owners to pay annual and special assessments for roadway maintenance, repair, and insurance. The document does not regulate homes, pets, rentals, or architectural standards.
• Who is a member: Every owner of a lot within the Property is a member of the Association. Membership is automatic and appurtenant to the lot.
• Voting rights: Votes are allocated based on lot acreage: 1 vote per 1/4 acre, rounded up if the decimal exceeds 0.50. Multiple owners of a lot must designate a single voting representative. The Declarant (developer) initially holds Class B membership with 3 votes per Class A vote, which ceases when the Declarant no longer owns any portion of the Property or records a notice of termination.
• Annual assessments: The Board of Directors adopts an annual budget at least 60 days before each calendar year. Assessments are prorated among owners based on the acreage they own within the Property (including any portion of roadways). They cover maintenance, repair, insurance, and reserves for the roadways.
• Special assessments: The Association may levy special assessments for authorized costs, including non-periodic maintenance or construction. A special assessment for general purposes requires 67% approval of voting members. A special assessment specifically for paving the roadways (not oiling or chip sealing) requires 74% approval.
• Non-payment consequences: Unpaid assessments accrue 15% annual interest from the due date. The Association may sue the owner or foreclose on the lot as a lien. A foreclosure sale under a first mortgage extinguishes past-due assessments, but future assessments remain a lien.
• Duration and amendment: The Declaration runs for 20 years from recording (October 2000) and automatically renews for successive 10-year periods unless amended or revoked. Amendment or revocation requires a written instrument approved by 74% of the total votes of the membership.
