Donell Condominiums

What Donell Condominiums's governing documents say

Donell Condominiums is a small 2-unit condominium in Fountain Hills, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. This declaration sets the rules for both unit owners, covering use, maintenance, assessments, and dispute resolution.

• What you own & maintain: Each unit's boundaries are the exterior finished surfaces of the perimeter walls, bottom of slab, top of roof, and the interior party wall to half its width. The Association maintains common elements; each unit owner maintains their unit and allocated limited common elements (e.g., yard/patio, own fixtures).
• Use restrictions: Units are for single-family residential use only. No gainful occupation or business allowed. No exterior solar devices, satellite dishes, or clotheslines visible from neighboring property without adjacent owner consent. No nuisance or offensive activity; no vehicle repairs or inoperable vehicles visible from neighboring property.
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are assessed equally between the two units (50/50). The Association adopts a budget each year and assesses each unit its share. Assessment liens are subordinate to first mortgages; delinquencies may be reallocated as common expenses.
• Insurance: Each unit owner must carry fire, casualty, and liability insurance on their unit at full replacement value, with at least $200,000 liability coverage (jointly with the adjacent unit owner). Evidence of insurance must be provided to the adjacent unit owner.
• Architectural review: The Board of Directors must establish an Architectural Committee of at least 2 members. Any structural additions, alterations, or changes to exterior color/texture require prior written approval of the adjacent unit owner and compliance with the Fountain Hills Committee of Architecture rules.
• Dispute resolution: Disputes between unit owners must first be resolved through a 21-day negotiation period. If unresolved, the matter goes to binding arbitration by a mutually agreed arbitrator or one selected by the Maricopa County Superior Court, with a 30-day compliance period.
