Country Lane Community Association (AZ)

What Country Lane Community Association (AZ)'s governing documents say

Country Lane Community Association is a standard single-family home HOA in Gilbert, AZ. Each owner owns their lot and home; the association maintains the private streets, common areas, and front yard landscaping. All owners automatically become members and must pay annual and special assessments.

• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be kept in garages when sufficient. No overnight parking on private streets. No parking on north/east sides of streets, front or side yards, or shared driveway easements. Large commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers are prohibited unless wholly inside a garage. Garage doors must remain closed except for entry/exit. Repairs outside an enclosed garage are only allowed for emergencies.
• Landscaping & yards: Rear yards must be fully landscaped within 180 days of ownership (90 days for yards with view fencing). Front yard landscaping is maintained by the Association and may not be altered by owners without Board approval. The Association can alter front yard landscaping without owner consent.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments begin at a maximum of $75 per lot (as of 2002), increasing automatically each year by the greater of 10% or CPI change, but no more than 20% from one year to the next without majority owner approval. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote. Each new purchaser also pays a transfer fee and two months' worth of annual assessments into reserves. Late fees and interest (10% per annum or $15) apply to delinquent assessments, which become a lien on the lot.
• Use restrictions: Refuse containers must be kept clean and out of sight except during collection. No accumulation of refuse. Owners must comply with Association rules regarding use of lots and common areas. The Board can regulate use of common areas and limit guest access to recreational facilities.
• Dispute resolution: Disputes between owners, the Association, or developers must first go through negotiation, then mediation, and finally binding arbitration (except for assessment collection or enforcement of use restrictions). Failure to timely mediate or arbitrate may waive claims.
• Enforcement & fines: The Association can fine owners for violations (after a written warning and 10-day cure period). Fines become a lien on the lot. The Association may also enter a lot to cure violations and recover costs, which become a special assessment.
• Amendment & term: The Declaration runs for 30 years from recording (2002) and automatically renews for successive 10-year periods. Amendments require approval of owners of at least two-thirds of the lots, plus Declarant's approval if Declarant still owns lots.
