The Alta Montana Vista Villas Condominium

What The Alta Montana Vista Villas Condominium's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Condominium for Alta Montana Vista Villas Condominium in Fountain Hills, AZ. The community is a condominium — you own an individual unit and share undivided ownership of the common elements with other owners. This document sets the rules for use, maintenance, and association governance.

• Single-family use & home businesses: Units must be used as a single-family residence. A limited home business is allowed if it's not visible or detectable from outside, doesn't generate excessive traffic, and complies with zoning. Leasing a unit is not considered a business.
• Pets: Only common household pets are allowed, max 2 dogs per unit (regardless of size), each dog ≤25 lbs unless a service animal. Dogs must be leashed (≤6 ft) outside. No pet structures visible from outside. Owners must clean up droppings immediately.
• Leasing & rentals: You must lease the entire unit (not a room). All leases must be in writing and include a provision that tenants must follow the condo documents. Provide a copy of the lease to the association at least 10 days before move-in. You remain liable for your tenant's violations.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, and trailers are prohibited except for short loading/unloading. Family vehicles (cars, SUVs, minivans, pickups under ¾ ton) may be parked in your garage or designated spaces. No parking on private drives. Garage doors must stay closed when not in use. No inoperable vehicles or repairs on the property.
• Modifications & construction: Structural changes require prior board approval with an engineer's certification, indemnity, and possible security deposit. Nonstructural changes that don't affect mechanical systems don't need approval, but you're liable for any damage. Any change visible from the exterior (including hard flooring in upper units) needs board approval with sound-dampening requirements.
• Assessments & fees: Each unit pays a common expense assessment, special assessments, and enforcement assessments. The budget is adopted by the board and sent to owners within 30 days. Delinquent assessments become a lien on the unit. There is also a transfer fee and monetary penalties for violations.
• Signs & window coverings: No signs except a small name/address sign (max 6x12 inches) on the unit door. Window tinting is prohibited unless originally installed. Blinds, shades, or other window coverings visible from outside need board approval. No reflective materials like aluminum foil or mirrors on windows.
