Fountain Hills Hamilton Condominiums

What Fountain Hills Hamilton Condominiums's governing documents say

Fountain Hills Hamilton Condominiums is a 5-unit condominium community in Fountain Hills, AZ. Each unit owner owns a 20% interest in the common area. The declaration binds unit owners and residents, outlining rules on leasing, pets, parking, architectural changes, and assessments. This is a conversion from a former multi-family rental property.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual dwelling unit (including a garage, which is a limited common area). The association maintains the common areas, including private streets and drainage facilities, and carries master insurance. Each unit owner has a 20% undivided interest in the common area.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for an initial term of at least six months. The board also has the right to prohibit leasing entirely to protect the residential character. Lessees must comply with the declaration, and the board may act on the owner's behalf to enforce rules.
• Pets: No more than two domestic pets (dogs, cats, caged birds, fish, nonpoisonous reptiles) per unit. Pets cannot be kept for commercial purposes or breeding. Animals causing a nuisance may be removed after 14 days' notice. Pets must be leashed or carried on common areas, and owners must clean up waste.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial trucks, buses, boats, trailers, RVs, or motor homes may be parked in visible locations without board approval. Commercial vehicles with advertising exceeding 5 sq ft per side are prohibited. Disabled vehicles or those without current registration are not allowed. Vehicle repair visible from any unit or on common areas is prohibited. Towing at owner's risk is permitted.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes to structures on common areas (including fences, signs, lighting, and landscaping) require approval from the Architectural Committee, which is composed of three disinterested board members. Plans must include site plans, elevations, materials, and landscaping. The committee must act within 45 days; if it fails, the board has 30 days; then deemed approved.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual general and special assessments. A working capital contribution of two months' assessments is required at closing. There is a repair and replacement reserve for common areas, especially for private roads inspected every three years. Assessments are a lien on the unit, subordinate only to first mortgages. Delinquent assessments incur interest, late fees, and potential foreclosure.
• Use restrictions: Units must be used only as single-family dwellings. No junk, debris, ornuisances. No clotheslines visible, no window air conditioners, no signs in common areas without approval. Flags (except American) may be regulated by the board. Garages cannot be converted to living space. Landscaping must be maintained, and drainage easements kept clear.
• Conversion disclosure: The property was converted from a multi-family rental to condominiums, with original construction completed in 2006. The buildings were designed and built to rental apartment codes, which may differ from new condominium codes. The declarant makes no warranty of compliance with condominium design standards.
