Magma Ranch

What Magma Ranch's governing documents say

Magma Ranch is a residential community in Florence, AZ governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The rules apply to all property owners within the community, covering both detached single-family homes and potentially attached homes with party walls. The HOA is responsible for common areas and enforces restrictions on property use, maintenance, and aesthetics.

• What you own & maintain: Owners are responsible for maintaining their individual lots, including landscaping, driveways, and structures. The HOA maintains common areas, and owners may be assessed for certain maintenance costs if the HOA takes over upkeep of adjacent areas.
• Residential use & occupancy: Lots and residential units must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. 'Single family' is defined as an individual, a group of related persons, or up to three unrelated persons living as a household. Limited home-based businesses are allowed if they comply with strict conditions (no external signs, limited floor area, no customer traffic).
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (construction, alteration, landscaping, painting, fences, etc.) require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has up to 45 days to respond. Declarant and designated builders are exempt during development.
• Pets: Only reasonable numbers of common household pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets only. Pets must be fenced or leashed, and owners must clean up droppings. No structure for animals may be visible from neighboring property. The board can decide if a pet is a nuisance.
• Signs: Signs are generally prohibited unless specifically allowed: identification signs up to 72 sq in, temporary open house signs (10 AM–6 PM), and for-sale signs limited to 120 days per year. Political signs are permitted 45 days before an election to 7 days after. For one year after the last home sale (or until 2009), no for-sale/lease signs are allowed.
• Parking & vehicles: The document restricts trucks, trailers, campers, boats, and parking on streets. Specific rules are referenced but not fully legible; generally, vehicles must be parked in garages or designated areas, and large vehicles like RVs may be prohibited from visible storage.
• Assessments: All lots are subject to annual assessments to fund common expenses. Special and limited assessments may also be levied. Assessments are a lien on the property, and the HOA has enforcement remedies including suspension of common area use for delinquent owners.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted but regulated. The document references Article 4.35 (leases) but the specific text is garbled; it likely requires leases to comply with the declaration and association rules. No short-term or transient rental use is explicitly mentioned, but residential use restrictions likely preclude vacation rentals.
