Vincenz

What Vincenz's governing documents say

Vincenz is a single-family home subdivision in Gilbert, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains common areas and enforces rules. This document is a partial excerpt of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) — the full rulebook for the community. It covers only the first six articles (definitions, easements, membership, maintenance, insurance, and annexation), so many topics like architectural review, use restrictions, and leasing are not included here.

• Community type & structure: Vincenz is a subdivision of single-family homes on individual lots, with common areas owned and maintained by the HOA. Each lot owner is automatically a member of the HOA.
• Definitions & key terms: Key terms include 'Lot' (a subdivided residential parcel), 'Common Area' (property owned by the HOA for shared use), 'Dwelling Unit' (a residence for a single family), and 'Single Family' (a household of related persons or up to 3 unrelated persons).
• Easements & developer rights: Owners have a non-exclusive easement to use common areas, subject to HOA rules. The developer (Declarant) retains extensive easements to maintain sales offices, models, signs, and construction activities on common areas and lots it owns.
• HOA membership & voting: Every lot owner is a Class A member with one vote per lot. The developer holds a Class B membership (3 votes per lot) until 75% of lots are sold to Class A owners, 10 years after recording, or the developer converts — whichever comes first.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The HOA maintains all common areas (landscaping, recreational facilities, walls, drainage). Each owner must maintain the exterior of their own structures in good condition; if they fail, the HOA can step in and charge the owner.
• Insurance requirements: The HOA carries hazard, liability, and flood insurance for common areas, plus fidelity bonds. Owners must insure their own dwelling units and personal property; they may also carry liability coverage.
• Annexation of additional property: The developer can add nearby property (up to 2 miles away) to the community without owner approval, until December 31 of the 10th year after the Declaration is recorded (2005+10=2015). After that, annexation requires consent of the owner of the property to be annexed.
