Discovery at Sunrise

What Discovery at Sunrise's governing documents say

Discovery At Sunrise is a townhome or attached-unit HOA community in Gilbert, AZ where you own your unit interior and patio but share the building structure and grounds, maintained by the Association and funded by monthly assessments. The community enforces detailed rules strictly, requiring Board approval for all exterior changes and imposing significant restrictions on parking, noise, pets, leasing, and outdoor use.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior, HVAC, appliances, patio, enclosed yard, and back-yard gate; the Association maintains the building exterior, roof, common landscaping, and carries master insurance. You must insure your personal contents and improvements beyond original construction, and you're responsible for the insurance deductible if your unit is damaged.
• Monthly assessments & fees: Monthly assessments fund pool, landscaping, pest control, insurance, and exterior/roof upkeep; a $20 late fee applies if payment arrives after the 15th. New buyers pay a one-time working capital fee (amount set by Board); new tenancies require a $25 registration fee. Delinquent accounts trigger water shutoff and liens.
• Leasing & rentals: Rentals must run at least 6 months—vacation rentals under 180 days are prohibited ($500 + $50/day fines). You must register tenants and provide all governing documents. You remain liable for all tenant violations and must include a lease clause allowing removal for criminal acts.
• Architectural review & exterior changes: Board approval is required for ALL exterior changes—doors, windows, landscaping, satellite dishes, patios. Interior non-structural changes (paint, flooring) don't need approval but have noise restrictions (7 PM–8 AM). Violations incur a $500 fine. Patio covers are prohibited except for grandfathered ones.
• Pets: Maximum 2 pets per unit, each up to 60 pounds unless Board approves otherwise. Pets must be leashed, carried, or crated in common areas; owners must immediately clean up after them.
• Vehicles & parking: All vehicles must be registered, have current tags, and be in operating condition. Vehicles parked longer than 30 days are considered 'stored' and subject to towing without notice. No fluid-related repairs are allowed. Speed limit is 10 MPH.
• Quiet hours & common area restrictions: Quiet hours are 10 PM–7 AM; loud music, instruments, and excessive noise are prohibited. Moving in/out is restricted to 7 AM–10 PM ($150 fine for violations). No items—bicycles, grills, furniture—may be left in common areas; all must be stored inside units or patios.
• Enforcement & fines: Violations carry escalating fines ranging from $150 to $600+; for example, architectural violations are $500, disturbances are $250–$350 per offense. The Association can file liens, pursue litigation, foreclose on delinquent accounts, or shut off water service.
