Sierra Vista at Gold Canyon Ranch

What Sierra Vista at Gold Canyon Ranch's governing documents say

Sierra Vista at Gold Canyon Ranch is a single-family home community in Gold Canyon, Arizona, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). The rules apply to all lot owners and occupants. This document establishes the HOA, assessments, architectural controls, and use restrictions, along with a separate covenant for groundwater replenishment.

• Assessments & fees: Maximum Annual Assessment per lot was $50 for 1999; thereafter it can increase by up to 15% annually or by a 2/3 vote of members. Special Assessments require prior approval by 2/3 vote of each class. Developer-owned lots pay only 25% of assessments until sold.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes, construction, landscaping, and grading require prior written approval from the Review Committee. The Committee adopts Guidelines that may cover design, colors, materials, and landscaping. Decisions can be appealed to the Board.
• Use restrictions & occupancy: A 'Single Family' is defined as persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to three unrelated persons living together as a common household. No other use limits (e.g., pets, parking) are specified in the visible text.
• Membership & voting: Each Lot has one vote in the Association. Declarant (developer) holds a Class B membership with triple votes until conversion to Class A, which occurs 10 years after recording or when Class A votes equal Class B votes.
• Common areas & amenities: Owners have a nonexclusive easement to use common areas. The Association maintains them and may charge Special Use Fees for specific amenities. Use can be suspended for delinquent assessments or rule violations.
• Groundwater replenishment assessment: A separate declaration imposes a Parcel Replenishment Obligation and assessment payable to the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District. This assessment is a continuing lien on each parcel and is personally owed by the owner.
• What this document doesn't cover: The visible text does not specify leasing terms (e.g., minimum lease duration), pet limits, parking regulations, or age restrictions. These may be covered in separate Association Rules or Tract Declarations not fully included here.
