Primrose Duplex II Condominiums

What Primrose Duplex II Condominiums's governing documents say

Primrose Duplex II is a condominium community in Fountain Hills, AZ, consisting of just two units (A and B). You own your individual unit and share ownership of the common elements (e.g., grounds, building structure) with the other unit owner. The association, Primrose Duplex II Condominiums Homeowners Association, Inc., maintains the common elements and enforces the rules. This declaration binds all unit owners and their guests, tenants, and invitees.

• Use restrictions: Each unit must be used exclusively as a single-family residence by one household (persons related by blood/marriage/adoption, or unrelated persons maintaining a common household). No business, trade, or gainful occupation is allowed. No outside clotheslines, no visible vehicle repairs, no nuisances, and no solar collectors or satellite dishes visible from neighboring property without the adjacent unit owner's written consent.
• Alterations & approvals: Nonstructural interior alterations do not require approval, but structural changes or modifications to exterior parts (color, texture) require prior written approval from the owner of the adjacent unit. All exterior changes must also comply with the Fountain Hills Committee of Architecture rules.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Each unit owner is responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing their own unit interior and any limited common elements allocated to their unit (e.g., porch, balcony). The association maintains the common elements, but if it fails, each owner must maintain the common elements contiguous to their unit. Owners are liable for damage caused by their negligence.
• Assessments & finances: Common expenses are assessed equally between the two units (50% each). The association's board adopts an annual budget and may levy assessments accordingly. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit, but that lien is subordinate to any first mortgage.
• Insurance: Each unit owner must maintain fire, casualty, and liability insurance on their unit at full replacement value, with a minimum of $500,000 in liability coverage combined with the adjacent unit owner. Proof of insurance must be provided to the adjacent owner.
• Dispute resolution: Disputes between unit owners must first be resolved through a 21-day negotiation period. If not resolved, the matter goes to binding arbitration by a mutually agreed arbitrator (or one selected by the Maricopa County Superior Court). The arbitrator's decision is binding and must be complied with within 30 days.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not address pet limits, leasing restrictions (minimum lease terms, rental caps), age restrictions, or specific parking rules beyond prohibiting visible vehicle repairs. Those topics may be covered in separate rules adopted by the association.
