Santa Fe Ridge Homeowners' Association

What Santa Fe Ridge Homeowners' Association's governing documents say

Santa Fe Ridge is a standard single-family home HOA in Glendale, AZ. The rules bind all lot owners and cover maintenance, architectural control, use restrictions, and assessments. The governing documents include a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions and a separate painting policy.

• Maintenance & repairs: Owners must keep their homes in good condition, including repainting when paint fades, peels, or chalks. If the association identifies a need to repaint, the owner has 60 days to submit an architectural request and 9 months to complete the work (or a shorter period for partial repaints). Failure can lead to fines.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration, including painting, requires prior approval from the Architectural Committee. Approved paint colors must come from the community's approved schemes (up to two colors). The committee has 45 days to review a complete application; painting without approval may result in fines and required repainting.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles over 3/4 ton, boats, trailers, or inoperable vehicles may be parked visibly on lots or streets. Pickup trucks under 3/4 ton and mini motorhomes under 7 ft height and 18 ft length are allowed if used for regular transportation. On-street parking is discouraged; vehicles should be in garages, carports, or driveways.
• Pets: Owners may keep a reasonable number of domestic house pets, but not for commercial purposes. Pets may not create excessive noise or nuisance. Structures for animal housing must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Assessments: Annual assessments were initially capped at $132 per lot (1986) and may increase by up to 10% or the CPI change, whichever is greater, without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote. Late payments accrue interest at 12% per annum or the prevailing VA rate, and the association may file a lien.
• Use restrictions: All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. No home businesses, temporary structures, or signs (except one 5 sq ft sale/rent sign) are allowed. No subdivision of lots or conversion to condominiums without board approval.
• Party walls & fences: Owners of contiguous lots share responsibility for party walls/fences. Repairs due to ordinary wear are shared equally by frontage; damage caused by one owner must be repaired at that owner's cost. Disputes are resolved by the board.
• Insurance: The association must maintain at least $1 million liability insurance for common areas and directors/officers coverage. Each owner is responsible for insuring their own lot and improvements.
