Mirage Crossing Resort Casitas

What Mirage Crossing Resort Casitas's governing documents say

Mirage Crossing Resort Casitas is a condominium community in Fountain Hills, AZ, where you own your unit's interior and the association owns and maintains all common areas (building exteriors, grounds, parking, recreational facilities), funded by per-unit assessments. You hold equal voting rights with other owners and must follow specific rules on use, leasing, pets, vehicles, and alterations.

• What you own & maintain: You own the unit interior (finished surfaces, fixtures, interior partitions within your unit). The association owns and maintains everything outside your unit boundaries: building exteriors, roofs, foundations, common stairs, walls, parking areas, landscaping, and any recreational amenities. Limited common elements—like your patio, balcony, exclusive parking space in front of a garage, or exterior doors/windows serving only your unit—are for your exclusive use but maintained at association expense.
• Single-family residential use: Units must be used exclusively for residential occupancy by a single family (one or more related persons, or up to three unrelated persons sharing a household). No businesses are permitted except limited activities conducted entirely inside your unit that are not detectable from outside by sight, sound, or smell, do not generate customer parking or traffic, and do not involve soliciting other residents. Leasing your unit to a tenant is not considered a business.
• Pets & animals: A reasonable number of generally recognized house pets are allowed (the board determines what is reasonable). Dogs must be kept on a leash not exceeding 6 feet when outside your unit and under direct control at all times. Pet droppings on common or limited common elements are the owner's responsibility to remove immediately. No pet may create excessive noise, odor, or nuisance; the board can restrict pets to certain areas of the community and prospectively limit their size or number.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your unit to tenants. During the lease term, the tenant and their household members have the right to use common elements; you (the owner) do not. The declaration does not specify a minimum lease term length in the excerpts provided.
• Parking & vehicles: Permitted vehicles are passenger automobiles, SUVs, golf carts, motorcycles, and pickup trucks not exceeding 1 ton. Mobile homes, boats, RVs, trailers, commercial vehicles, and vehicles over 1 ton are prohibited unless stored in a fully-enclosed garage. No vehicle repair or reconstruction is allowed outside a closed garage. All vehicles must be parked in designated areas; guests may use designated guest parking for up to 72 consecutive hours or 7 calendar days per month. The board can establish speed limits and traffic rules and may tow vehicles in violation at the owner's expense.
• Alterations & improvements: Non-structural interior improvements do not require approval. Any alteration visible from outside your unit or any structural change requires board approval in advance; the board may require architect or engineer certification. Communication lines, wires, and antennas must be underground or concealed and are subject to board approval. You are liable for any damage to other units or common elements resulting from your alterations.
• Architectural review & exterior restrictions: No exterior modifications visible from neighboring property are allowed without board approval (signs, clotheslines, HVAC units, antennas, solar panels). Window coverings must be white or cream colored on the exterior-facing side; reflective materials and temporary coverings are prohibited. For-sale or for-lease signs are limited to 16" × 24" and require board approval. Satellite antennas are not allowed if visible from neighboring property without board approval (federal law protects certain small antennas under one meter).
• Common area access & voting: Each unit owner has one vote in the association. You have the right to use common elements and limited common elements (except those allocated exclusively to other units), subject to board rules. The board can suspend your common-area access (60 days per infraction, renewable if not corrected) or suspend your voting rights for delinquent assessments. Guests may use common areas only when accompanied by you or an authorized resident.
