Villa Charme Five Townhouses Association

What Villa Charme Five Townhouses Association's governing documents say

Villa Charme Five Townhouses is a townhome community in Glendale, AZ, where you own a unit and share common areas with neighbors via party walls. The association maintains exteriors, common areas, and private sewers, while you maintain your interior and patio. This is the full governing document (CC&Rs) that binds all owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhouse interior and patio. The association maintains roofs, exterior surfaces, gutters, trees, shrubs, walks, private sewers, and all common area (including pool if any). You are responsible for termite control and all interior fixtures and equipment.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at a maximum of $450 per lot (as of 1972). The board may increase annually up to 3% without a member vote; any increase above 3% requires a 2/3 vote of each membership class. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a 2/3 vote. Assessments are uniform per lot and can be collected monthly.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change (building, fence, wall, addition) must get written approval from the board or an architectural committee. Plans are deemed approved if not disapproved within 30 days of submission.
• Party walls: Walls between units are shared responsibilities. If you (or your guests) damage a party wall, you pay for repairs. If damage is from an unknown cause, neighbors share cost equally. Changes to a party wall require the adjoining owner's written consent.
• Pets: You may keep dogs, cats, or other household pets as long as they are not bred or kept for commercial purposes. No livestock or poultry.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may delegate common area use to tenants or contract purchasers who reside on the property. No minimum lease term is stated in this document. (Check current rules for any updates.)
• Use restrictions: Properties are for residential townhouse use only. No business activities, no temporary structures, no exterior antennas without board approval. Clotheslines must be in patio areas and screened. One "for rent" or "for sale" sign up to 5 square feet is allowed.
• Damage & rebuilding: If your townhouse is damaged or destroyed, you must contract for repairs within 60 days and complete within 6 months. If you fail, the association may repair and place a lien on your property for costs.
