Gilbert Township Villas

What Gilbert Township Villas's governing documents say

Gilbert Township Villas is a condominium community in Gilbert, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of common elements. A key feature: all units must be used exclusively as offices for professional services (e.g., medical, dental, law). The association maintains common areas and carries master insurance, funded by per-unit assessments based on square footage.

• Use restriction: Units may only be used as professional offices — such as medical, dental, law, architecture, accounting, real estate, or title insurance — not as residences. Any other use requires approval by all unit owners and compliance with zoning.
• Animals: No pets, birds, reptiles, or livestock are allowed in any unit or on the property. The only exception is fish kept in aquariums.
• Leasing & rentals: Rental leases must be in writing, at least 10 days' notice to the association before the lease starts, and must comply with all declaration and rules. The unit owner remains liable for any violations by tenants.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking is only allowed in designated parking spaces (assigned as limited common elements). No recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, or campers may be parked anywhere on the property. Inoperable vehicles and repairs are not allowed. Towing of violators is authorized.
• Signs: No signs (including 'For Sale' or 'For Rent') are visible from the exterior without board approval. The board may permit professional identification signs on the building exterior, subject to size, color, and location criteria.
• Alterations & improvements: Structural alterations require prior written board approval and certification by a licensed engineer or architect that they won't impair structural integrity. Nonstructural interior changes don't need approval unless visible from outside. The board may impose conditions like security deposits and insurance.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are based on each unit's percentage interest (square footage). Special assessments require approval by two-thirds of voting unit owners. The board can increase assessments mid-year if needed.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common elements and perimeter building walls (including windows and doors). Unit owners maintain their unit interiors and any limited common elements (e.g., ducts, pipes serving only their unit). Owners sharing a party wall split maintenance costs equally.
