Sun Lakes Homeowners Association Policies

What Sun Lakes Homeowners Association Policies's governing documents say

Sun Lakes HOA #1 is an age-restricted (55+) active-adult community of 2,139 lots in Goodyear, AZ. This Policies & Rules Information Manual supplements the CC&Rs and Bylaws, detailing day-to-day rules for homeowners, renters, and guests. All residents must meet age requirements, and the association enforces rules on parking, pets, architectural changes, and use of amenities like the clubhouse, pools, and golf course.

• Age restriction (55+): At least 80% of all residents must be 55 or older; no one under 19 may reside permanently. The remaining 20% of lots must have at least one occupant who is 45 or older.
• Membership & use privileges: Only homeowners and renters with valid ID cards (issued after owner surrenders their cards) may use facilities. If a lot has more than two residents, the owner must pay an additional fee equal to 50% of annual dues per extra person. Multi-owner lots can designate up to two owners for full privileges.
• Guest policy: Guests 19 and older may stay up to 30 days per year; guests under 19 cannot stay longer than 30 days total per year. All guests must have a guest pass (or be accompanied by a member) and obey facility-specific rules. Guests under 19 are restricted to certain areas and hours.
• Pets: Household dogs, cats, and birds are allowed (no fowl or reptiles). Pets must be leashed when off the owner's lot and cannot disturb neighbors. Pets are prohibited in the clubhouse, golf course, and pool areas (except service animals).
• Vehicles & parking: No overnight parking without prior approval. Trucks (excluding pickups, vans, panel trucks) are restricted. RVs may park for up to 72 consecutive hours, no more than twice per 30 days. Golf carts are allowed only on streets with speed limits of 35 mph or lower and on designated cart paths.
• Architectural changes & signs: Any exterior alteration requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Sign rules: for-sale signs max 18x24 inches, political signs max 24x24 inches (displayed 45 days before/7 after election), garage sale signs limited to one in front yard with directional signs on third weekend of month.
• What this document doesn't cover: This manual does not replace the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), Bylaws, or Articles of Incorporation. It refers to those documents for complete insurance, architectural rules, and other foundational policies. Homeowners should review all governing documents.
