Amberville Condominiums

What Amberville Condominiums's governing documents say

Amberville Condominiums is a condominium community in Fountain Hills, AZ, consisting of 5 units. You own your unit (interior finished surfaces) and share ownership of common elements (like recreation areas, parking, landscaping) with the association maintaining them. The declaration binds all unit owners and their tenants.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior finished surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings) and must maintain them, along with doors, windows, HVAC, plumbing, and appliances serving only your unit. The association maintains common elements (building exteriors, roofs, foundations, common areas) and limited common elements like parking spaces, patios, and storage rooms allocated to your unit.
• Residential use & leasing: Units must be used as a single-family residence. You may conduct limited business if not detectable outside. Leases must be in writing, require association copy, and have a minimum term of 90 days. No subleasing. You are liable for tenant violations.
• Pets: You may keep up to 2 dogs, cats, or other common household pets (up to 2 total). Additional pets require board approval. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) outdoors, and droppings must be removed. No outdoor pet structures visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit has one covered parking space and one visitor parking space (limited common elements). Only private passenger vehicles, SUVs, golf carts, or pickup trucks under 1 ton allowed. No boats, RVs, trailers, or commercial vehicles except in enclosed garage or designated areas. Guest parking limited to 72 consecutive hours or 7 days/month.
• Architectural review & alterations: Any addition, alteration, or improvement visible from neighboring property requires prior board approval. Nonstructural interior changes do not need approval. Structural changes or changes to common elements need board approval, and you may need an engineer's certification. Window coverings visible from outside must be white or cream.
• Signs & antennas: One 'for sale' or 'for lease' sign up to 16" x 24" allowed inside a window. Other signs prohibited unless required by law. Antennas under 1 meter may be allowed with board approval minimizing visibility.
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are shared equally among all 5 units (each pays 1/5). The association can levy regular and special assessments, with liens for nonpayment. A working capital assessment may be charged. The board may impose fines and interest (12% per annum) for violations.
• Dispute resolution: Claims must go through a multi-step process: notice of claim, opportunity to cure, mediation, and binding arbitration. Court litigation is avoided unless necessary.
