What Fountain Hills Professional Offices's governing documents say

Fountain Hills Professional Offices is a commercial condominium community in Fountain Hills, AZ, designed for professional office uses. You own your individual unit and share ownership of the common elements. The association maintains common areas and carries master insurance, funded by assessments based on unit square footage. This declaration governs all units and is binding on owners, tenants, and occupants.

• Permitted & restricted uses: Units may be used for any use allowed by zoning, but residential dwellings (including nursing homes and recovery homes) are prohibited. Also banned: hazardous materials (e.g., explosives, bulk flammable liquids over 5 gallons), nuisance odors/dust/fumes/noise, adult entertainment, and agricultural use. The association may waive these restrictions case-by-case.
• Leasing & rentals: All leases must be in writing and subject to the declaration. Lessees must comply with the rules; the unit owner is responsible for tenant compliance. Owners must provide the board with tenant names and contact info. No minimum lease term is stated, but leases must conform to the declaration.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles may only be parked in designated parking spaces. No vehicle repair, construction, or storage of inoperable vehicles. Prohibited: mobile homes, trailers, campers, boats, recreational vehicles. The board may tow violating vehicles at owner expense.
• Signs & exterior alterations: For-sale or for-rent signs are allowed. Other signs (e.g., business identification) require board approval for location, size, color, and style. Antennas, satellite dishes, and outdoor speakers are prohibited unless required by law. Window coverings must not use reflective materials without board approval.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common elements (e.g., exterior stucco, landscaping, parking areas, roof, common utilities). Unit owners maintain their unit interior, HVAC, and any limited common elements (e.g., assigned parking spaces). Owners are liable for damage to common elements caused by their negligence.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are based on each unit's square footage. Budgets are adopted annually; special assessments exceeding $5,000 or for capital improvements require >50% owner vote. Late payments accrue interest and may result in liens and foreclosure. Owners cannot offset assessments against claims against the association.
• Insurance: The association carries property insurance on common elements and units (excluding owner improvements and personal property) at replacement cost, commercial general liability (minimum $2M per occurrence), workers' compensation, and directors & officers liability. Owners are named insureds for liability arising from common element ownership.
