What Smoke Tree Ranch's governing documents say
Smoke Tree Ranch is a single-family home subdivision in Gilbert, AZ, governed by a homeowners association. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners and occupants, establishing rules for residential use, construction, landscaping, parking, and equestrian privileges.
- Residential use & building rules: Each lot is limited to one single-family residence. Minimum livable area is 2,200 square feet (excluding garages and porches). All structures must be new construction with approved tile or cedar shake roofs, side-entry garages, and compatible architecture. Construction must be completed within one year of permits; reconstruction after damage must be finished within eight months of insurance settlement.
- Rentals & leasing: Renting a home is allowed only while it is actively listed for sale. If not sold within one year, the owner must obtain a majority vote of the Homeowner's Committee for an extension; otherwise, a $5,000 per year lien is placed on the property.
- Equestrian privileges & animals: The subdivision is intended for equestrian use, including non-commercial raising of horses. All animals must be kept in fenced areas; pigs, swine, peacocks, and donkeys are prohibited. Horse facilities (fences, corrals) must use galvanized steel or masonry, with no wood or barbed wire.
- Parking & vehicles: Passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, and horse trailers may park on lots if on a concrete surface and meeting setback requirements. Other trucks, boats, and equipment must be screened or stored in a garage. Inoperable vehicles may not remain on the property unless enclosed.
- Landscaping & upkeep: Front landscaping must be completed within six months of move-in and include at least two 24-inch box trees and three 15-gallon trees. Front yard gardens are not allowed. All owners must keep lots clean; the committee may clean after 30 days' notice and charge the owner.
- Architectural review: All new construction, alterations, fences, and exterior changes require prior approval from the Design and Review Committee. Plans must be submitted; if not acted upon within 15 days, approval is deemed given. The committee may charge up to $150 per plan review.
- Flood irrigation system: Owners are responsible for maintaining irrigation ditches, ports, and gates on their property, even if they do not use them. The HOA inspects and may perform work at owner expense if not done timely. An easement along the rear property line must be kept clear for irrigation access.
- Assessments & liens: Annual dues are determined by majority vote at the annual meeting and are due within 30 days of notice. Late payments incur 18% annual interest and may result in a lien on the lot, subordinate to first mortgages. The HOA may foreclose on the lien.
