Solace

What Solace's governing documents say

Solace is a single-family home community in Gilbert, AZ, governed by a standard homeowners association (HOA). All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. The association is responsible for common areas and enforces rules through an architectural committee and board of directors.

• Use restrictions & residential character: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. No trade or business is allowed on a lot unless it is home-based and not detectable from outside, conforms to zoning, and does not violate other rules. Leasing an entire residence is not considered a business.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration, addition, or landscaping must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee. Applications are deemed disapproved if not acted on within 30 days. The committee has broad discretion over aesthetics and can require a processing fee. Basketball goals require approval with specific placement and quality standards.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance, reserves, and other association expenses. The board sets the amount and provides a budget to owners at least 30 days before due. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote. Late fees of $25/month or 10% (whichever greater) apply, and delinquencies become liens. New owners pay a working capital fund, initiation fee, and reserve contribution set by the board.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, cover the entire lot, and have a minimum term of 90 days (the board may extend this to up to one year uniformly). Owners must notify the association of the tenant's name, lease term, and owner's address. The association may charge an administrative fee for each new lease.
• Pets: A reasonable number of common household pets are allowed, but not for commercial breeding. Pets must not create excessive noise or nuisance. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off the owner's lot, and owners must promptly remove droppings. No pet structures visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles exceeding one-ton rating, RVs, boats, trailers, or campers may be parked visibly from neighboring property, common areas, or streets. Pickup trucks with camper shells under 7 feet are exempt. Only operating vehicles may park in driveways; non-operating vehicles allowed only if repairs are imminent. Garage doors open only for ingress/egress or use.
• Common walls & maintenance: Owners sharing a common wall are equally responsible for its maintenance on their respective sides. If damage is caused by one owner, that owner bears full repair cost. If damage is from other causes, adjoining owners share cost equally. Any modification to a common wall requires written consent from the adjoining owner.
