Missouri Estates

What Missouri Estates's governing documents say

Missouri Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Glendale, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) creates a mandatory membership HOA that owns and maintains common areas, and imposes uniform rules on all lot owners, residents, and their guests. Living here means your property use, exterior changes, parking, pets, and leasing are all subject to association oversight.

• Residential use & occupancy: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. A 'Single Family' is defined as one or more persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to three unrelated persons living together as a household. No commercial or business activities are allowed on any lot.
• Architectural & exterior changes: Any improvement, alteration, landscaping, fence, painting, or other exterior change to a lot requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. This includes satellite dishes (under 39 inches allowed with approval), roof-mounted equipment, antennas, and basketball hoops (portable hoops in driveways are allowed). The committee can charge a processing fee and its decisions are appealable to the Board.
• Assessments & fees: All owners pay annual assessments to fund common area maintenance and association operations. The initial maximum annual assessment was $786.72 per lot. The Board can increase it each year by up to 10% (or CPI, whichever is greater) without a member vote; larger increases require a two-thirds vote of all members. Supplemental and special assessments also require a two-thirds vote. A one-time working capital contribution of one-sixth of the current annual assessment is due from each new owner (except Declarant and Builders). Transfer fees may also be set by the Board.
• Pets: A reasonable number of common household pets (e.g., dogs, cats) are allowed on lots, but must be kept as domestic pets only, not for commercial purposes. No animal may create unreasonable noise or become a nuisance. Structures for animal housing must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Vehicles & parking: No vehicles over 3/4-ton rating, mobile homes, RVs, boats, trailers, or similar equipment may be parked visible from neighboring property, except that one RV or mobile home may be parked behind the front yard wall. No inoperable or unlicensed vehicles are allowed anywhere. Overnight street parking is prohibited. Vehicles must be kept in garages, carports, or driveways when possible.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing a lot to a single family is permitted. Owners who lease must notify the association of the lease term and tenant's name. No minimum lease term is specified in this document.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains all common areas, including private streets. Individual owners are responsible for all maintenance, repair, and replacement of their own lots and improvements, including landscaping, buildings, and structures. The association may also maintain certain exterior areas if the Board agrees it is in the best interest of members.
• Party walls: Walls or fences built on the dividing line between lots are party walls, with shared maintenance and repair costs. Any modification to a party wall requires written consent of the adjoining owner and Architectural Committee approval. Disputes are resolved by the Architectural Committee.
