Val Vista Meadows

What Val Vista Meadows's governing documents say

Val Vista Meadows is a planned single-family residential community in Gilbert, Arizona, governed by covenants and restrictions that bind all lot owners, renters, and occupants. The homeowners association maintains common areas and enforces architectural standards and use restrictions that run with the land and apply to all current and future owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and living unit; the association maintains all common areas, project entry features, and the exterior side of perimeter fences (you maintain the interior side of any fence on your lot). You are responsible for maintaining your lot's landscaping and structures to approved standards.
• Residential use only: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. Home businesses are severely limited—they cannot be visible or audible from outside, cannot attract customer visits or outside employees, and must comply with City of Gilbert ordinances. You may hold only one garage or yard sale per 12 months.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire living unit to tenants, including month-to-month rentals, but short-term or hotel-style rentals are prohibited. All leases must be in writing and require tenants to comply with the CCRs and association rules. You must notify the association in writing of the lease dates and tenant names.
• Pets: A reasonable number of dogs, cats, and household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes or in excessive numbers. Pets must be kept indoors or in fenced yards and cannot run loose; you are responsible for cleanup and must ensure they do not become a nuisance to neighbors.
• Vehicles & parking: All vehicles must park in garages or on paved driveways; street parking is prohibited except for guest vehicles during the day (maximum 6 hours, no overnight). Trucks over 3/4-ton, RVs, boats, mobile homes, and similar vehicles cannot be visible from neighboring property; violators may be towed at the owner's expense.
• Architectural approval & appearance restrictions: The architectural committee must approve most changes before installation. Many items—including HVAC units, solar panels, antennas, satellite dishes, storage sheds, and basketball goals—are restricted if visible from neighboring property. Window treatments in neutral colors are required within 90 days of occupancy; exterior appearances are closely controlled.
• Assessments & enforcement: Owners pay annual assessments to fund association operations and common area maintenance; special assessments for capital improvements and enforcement assessments for violations are possible. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property, and violations can result in fines or enforcement actions including vehicle towing.
