Paradise Vistas

What Paradise Vistas's governing documents say

Paradise Vistas is a single-family home community in Fountain Hills, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). As a lot owner, you own your home and land, and the association maintains shared common areas. This Declaration of Reservations (CC&Rs) establishes architectural standards, land-use rules, and the HOA's assessment and enforcement powers.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and must keep it clean, free of excessive weeds, and all improvements in good repair. The association maintains common areas (e.g., open spaces, walkways, recreational facilities) and may install improvements on easements.
• Architectural review: All construction, alterations, fences, walls, or landscaping must be approved in writing by the Committee of Architecture (or later the association) in compliance with the Development Guidelines. The minimum living area for a dwelling is 1,600 square feet (excluding patios, garages, etc.). The committee may require changes to ensure aesthetic consistency.
• Land use & restrictions: All lots are designated single-family residential. Uses must comply with this declaration, the Plat 101 Declaration, and Fountain Hills zoning. More restrictive rules prevail in case of conflict.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are set annually, initially capped at $200 per lot per year (can increase annually by up to 5% or CPI, whichever is higher, or by 51% vote). Special assessments for capital improvements or unplanned expenses require a majority vote of each class. The association can also impose maintenance assessments for cleaning or repairs after notice.
• Rules enforcement & liens: The association can enforce rules and record liens on lots for delinquent assessments (90+ days overdue) or unpaid maintenance costs. Past-due assessments incur interest (12% or prime+2%) and collection costs, including attorney fees.
• Amendment & duration: The declaration runs for an initial 35 years and renews automatically for 10-year periods unless 75% of lot owners vote to revoke. Amendments require a 67% vote of lot owners, except the declarant may amend unilaterally to comply with government loan guidelines during its control period.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not address pet restrictions, leasing or rental regulations (e.g., minimum lease terms), or age restrictions. Such rules may exist in other governing documents not provided here.
