Colony Wash Vista Condominiums

What Colony Wash Vista Condominiums's governing documents say

Colony Wash Vista Condominiums is a standard condominium community in Fountain Hills, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association maintains the common areas and carries master insurance, funded by assessments based on each unit's equal share.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior finished surfaces of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows) and fixtures that serve only your unit. The association maintains and insures all common elements (e.g., roofs, exterior, structural components, common areas). Each unit owner must maintain their unit and any limited common elements (e.g., rear yard, driveway) assigned to them.
• Leasing & rentals: Units may be rented only in their entirety, for a term of at least 30 days. Owners are responsible for any rule violations by tenants or their guests.
• Pets: Up to two commonly accepted household pets are allowed per unit, subject to prior board approval. Additional pets are prohibited unless approved. Pets must be leashed outside the unit and may not create a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be parked or stored anywhere in the condominium. Parking is allowed only in designated spaces (including limited common element driveways adjacent to garages). Vehicle repairs are prohibited except for emergencies.
• Architectural review: Structural additions, alterations, or improvements within a unit require prior written board approval and a licensed engineer's certification. Any exterior alterations visible from outside the building also require board approval, which must find the change aesthetically harmonious. Common element alterations require board approval.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only; businesses are allowed only if conducted entirely inside the unit with no external signs, customers, employees, or noise. No antennas or satellite dishes may be erected outdoors without board approval (unless federal law preempts). No signs visible from the exterior are allowed without board approval.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are based on equal shares per unit (currently 8.33% per unit, adjusting as phases are added). A capital reserve fee equal to 1/6 of the annual assessment is due at purchase. A transfer fee is charged upon sale. Special assessments require approval by two-thirds of unit owners voting.
