Hieroglyphic Trails

What Hieroglyphic Trails's governing documents say

Hieroglyphic Trails is a single-family home HOA community in Gold Canyon, AZ, governed by a full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) recorded in 2000. These rules bind all lot owners and residents, covering land use, architectural standards, maintenance, assessments, and common area rights.

• Residential use & leasing: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. Leasing is permitted but the owner must notify the association of the lease term and lessee's name.
• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement, alteration, landscaping, or change in paint color requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Fines of up to $10,000 may be imposed for violations.
• Minimum home size & height: Single-family dwellings must have at least 2,500 square feet of livable area. Lots 1-18 are limited to one-story construction (max 20 ft height); other lots may have two stories (max 30 ft). Roofs must be mission tile or approved material; garages must be at least 20x40 ft.
• Animals: Only a reasonable number of customary house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets only. No structure for animals may be visible from neighboring property. The board determines reasonableness on request.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks over 1-ton, boats, trailers, campers, or inoperable vehicles may be parked where visible from neighboring property, common areas, or streets. Pickup trucks under 1-ton with camper shells under 7 ft and mini-motor homes under 7 ft/18 ft are allowed if used for basic transportation. On-street parking is discouraged; vehicles must be kept in garages or driveways.
• Landscaping & natural desert theme: Front and side yards must be landscaped within 3 months of occupancy using only indigenous desert plants (e.g., cacti, palo verde, mesquite). Grass lawns are prohibited except in rear yards. All landscaping plans require Architectural Committee approval.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $45 per lot (as of 2000) and can be increased per Arizona law. A $100 capital accumulation fee is due from each new owner (not the declarant). Transfer fees may be set by the board. Delinquent assessments incur late charges and can become a lien on the lot.
• Common area & maintenance: The association maintains the common area (including streets, walls, landscaping). Owners are responsible for maintenance of their lots and improvements except where the association agrees to handle specifically.
