What Neely Farms's governing documents say

Neely Farms is a single-family home homeowners' association (HOA) in Gilbert, AZ, with 629 lots. The rules are binding on all owners and residents, and are enforced by the Neely Farms Homeowners’ Association. This document is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements, which establishes the framework for the community.

• Architectural review: All exterior alterations—including buildings, fences, sheds, paint colors, and landscaping—must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee before work begins. Plans are deemed approved if no response is received within 30 days.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $360 per lot (as of 1996), increase automatically each year by the greater of 5% or CPI, and can be raised further by a two-thirds vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a two-thirds vote. Delinquent assessments incur 12% interest and can result in a lien or foreclosure.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business, trade, or commercial activity is allowed. Leasing is permitted but subject to all other rules. Animals are limited to ‘a reasonable number’ of house pets; no farm animals or nuisances. No temporary structures, RVs, boats, or vehicles over 1 ton may be parked visibly. Trash must be in covered containers and not visible except on collection day.
• Parking & vehicles: On-street parking is discouraged. Vehicles should be kept in garages, driveways, or designated areas. No parking of boats, trailers, campers, or commercial vehicles is visible from neighboring property. Pickups under 1 ton and mini-motorhomes under 7' tall and 18' long are allowed if used for regular transportation.
• Party walls & fences: Owners sharing a party wall or fence must equally share maintenance and repair costs unless damage is caused by one owner. Disputes are resolved by the Board. Walls adjacent to common areas are treated as party walls with the Association.
• Common area usage: All owners have an easement to use common areas for recreation, subject to Association rules. The Association can suspend use for non-payment of assessments or rule infractions (up to 60 days per infraction). Common areas can be changed or transferred with a majority vote of members.
