Palatial Estates

What Palatial Estates's governing documents say

Palatial Estates is a standard single-family home HOA in Fountain Hills, AZ. The rules apply to all owners, residents, and tenants. The association handles common area maintenance and enforces architectural and use restrictions set by an elected board. Living here requires following detailed rules on exterior changes, parking, pets, rentals, and more.

• Architectural review: Any exterior change—construction, landscaping, painting, fences, etc.—needs prior written board approval. Plans are reviewed for harmony and aesthetics, and the board can charge a fee. Approval is deemed given if the board doesn't respond within 60 days.
• Use restrictions: Homes are for residential use only; home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, no customers come to the lot, and no non-resident employees. No temporary structures or trailers for residence. No nuisance or offensive activity.
• Pets: Up to four domestic pets (e.g., dogs, cats, parakeets) are allowed per lot. Pets must be kept on the owner's lot; dogs on common area must be leashed and feces removed immediately. The board may remove dangerous or nuisance animals.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for an initial term of at least 3 consecutive months. No subleasing. Owner must provide tenant contact info to the association at least 10 days before lease start and give tenant copies of the rules. Owner remains liable for tenant violations.

Recreational vehicles can park in the driveway for loading/unloading only, max 24 consecutive hours or 72 hours per week. No commercial vehicles or inoperable vehicles on lots. Guest parking limited to 72 hours per week.
