Sunridge Canyon

What Sunridge Canyon's governing documents say

Sunridge Canyon is a master-planned community in Fountain Hills, AZ with a tiered governance structure: a master Association oversees the entire community, while individual neighborhoods may have their own associations or committees for neighborhood-specific concerns. You own your individual unit or home, and the Association(s) maintain shared common areas and enforce community standards. During the initial development phase, the developer retains special control rights.

• Community structure: This development is divided into neighborhoods, each potentially having its own association or committee. The master Association oversees community-wide common areas; neighborhood entities oversee neighborhood-specific limited common areas (gates, private streets, neighborhood amenities). During development, the builder/developer holds Class B voting control and can unilaterally annex additional property and amend design guidelines; this control eventually transfers to resident ownership.
• What you own & maintain: You own your individual unit or home. The master Association maintains community-wide common areas; neighborhood associations maintain neighborhood-specific limited common areas. Owners maintain their own units/homes and interiors.
• Assessments & payments: Owners pay base assessments (per unit) for master Association common expenses, neighborhood assessments for neighborhood-specific maintenance and improvements, and may face special or specific assessments for capital projects. Unpaid assessments become a lien against your property; the Association can suspend your voting rights and recreational facility access if you fall 30+ days behind.
• Architectural review & modifications: Any external modifications or changes to your property require advance written approval from the Association's Architectural Review Committee under published Design Guidelines. The Association can impose fines for unauthorized alterations.
• Community rules & enforcement: The Association adopts and enforces use restrictions and rules for all properties. Violations can result in fines, suspension of voting rights, or suspension of recreational facility access. The Association can perform repairs or other remedies at the owner's expense to cure violations.
• Voting & governance: Owners vote through elected Voting Members (one per neighborhood, one vote per unit). During the developer's control period, the developer appoints a board majority; control transitions to owners after that period ends.
• Private amenities (if any): Any private amenities (such as a golf course) are owned and operated separately from the Association. The Association does not control or guarantee access; their rules, availability, and fees are set by their private owner and may change or end without notice.
• Insurance: The Association maintains master liability and property insurance on common areas and shared improvements. Individual owners are responsible for insuring their own units and personal property.
