Westby Towers Condominiums

What Westby Towers Condominiums's governing documents say

Westby Towers Condominiums is a 20-unit condominium in Fountain Hills, AZ. You own your unit's interior and a 1/20 share of the common elements. The association maintains the building structure, common areas, and limited common elements (like balconies and patios). You maintain your unit's interior, windows, and utilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit including finished surfaces, windows, interior walls, garage interior, and fixtures like hot water heaters and air conditioners. The association maintains all structural components, roofs, exterior, and common elements like hallways, pool, and landscaping. You must maintain your unit and any fenced patio/balcony appurtenant to it.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are equal for each unit and cover common expenses. The board sets the budget without owner ratification. Capital improvement assessments over 10% of annual common expenses require a 2/3 owner vote. Special assessments can be levied for violations or damages. Delinquent assessments accrue 18% interest and late fees, and can result in lien and foreclosure.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not in numbers or size deemed unreasonable by the board. Pets cannot be kept for commercial purposes. They must be leashed on common elements. The board may adopt additional pet rules.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted, but you (the owner) are responsible for your tenant's compliance with all rules. If your tenant violates rules, the association can demand you take action and, if you fail, can evict the tenant on your behalf. All costs become a special assessment against your unit.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked inside your garage. Temporary parking for guests, deliveries, and loading is allowed in designated spaces. No commercial vehicles, trailers, boats, RVs, or campers may be parked on the property except inside garages. The board can tow violators at the owner's expense.
• Architectural review & exterior changes: Any exterior changes (including fences, awnings, satellite dishes, landscaping) require prior written approval from the board or an architectural committee. Submit plans; if not approved or disapproved within 30 days, approval is deemed given. No structural alterations without majority owner and mortgagee approval.
• Signs & window covers: No signs are allowed except a small name/address sign. 'For sale' signs are prohibited on the property (a master sign may be placed by the board). Window coverings must be neutral-colored when visible from outside; no foil, paint, or sheets.
