San Ignacio Ridge Estates

What San Ignacio Ridge Estates's governing documents say

San Ignacio Ridge Estates is a single-family subdivision in Sahuarita (Pima County), Arizona, with 185 individual lots and shared common areas governed by a homeowners association. Lot owners are bound by extensive covenants on property use, maintenance, and fees; the association owns and maintains common streets, landscaping, utilities, and facilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and dwelling; the association owns and maintains the common areas (streets, drainage ways, pedestrian paths, landscaping, walls, and fences). Owners are responsible for maintaining their own dwelling interiors and landscaping, except where the association has easement rights for maintenance of shared structures.
• HOA assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot to cover common area maintenance, utilities, insurance, reserves, and management costs. Special assessments may be levied for unexpected repairs or replacements. Assessments become delinquent 10 days after the due date and accrue interest at 12% per annum or 2% above Bank of America's prime rate (whichever is higher), plus potential attorney fees for collection.
• Green Valley Recreation membership: Each lot is subject to a separate membership in Green Valley Recreation, Inc., a non-profit that maintains recreational facilities in the broader Green Valley community. Owners must pay membership dues and assessments levied by this separate organization, which has a recorded lien subordinate to the HOA lien.
• Architectural review & modifications: Most changes to your property require written approval from the Architectural Committee, including fences, walls, hedges, screening, antennas, signs, and any alterations or improvements. Limited structures (e.g., barbecues, benches) may be approved on easement areas if permitted by Pima County building codes; modifications to party walls adjacent to neighbors' easements require written consent from the affected neighbor.
• Use restrictions: No business use is allowed. Mobile homes and temporary structures are prohibited. Properties must conform to building codes, maintain drainage ways, avoid excessive noise, prohibit open fires, and keep landscaping neat and well-maintained. Vehicles must be operable and not commercial; inoperable or commercial vehicles are restricted.
• Party walls & shared boundaries: Walls on or immediately adjacent to property lines are treated as party walls; you cannot take actions that destroy their integrity or appearance. You cannot plant shrubs or trees close to party walls in ways that threaten foundations through watering. Neighbors have easement rights to maintain and access shared walls; alterations to a wall adjacent to a neighbor's yard easement require that neighbor's written consent.
• Common area maintenance & insurance: The association maintains streets, drainage easements, sidewalks, landscaping, street signs, walls, and fences in common areas, and pays property taxes and utilities for these areas. The association carries minimum $1,000,000 liability insurance and fire/extended coverage at 100% replacement value on common area improvements; major damage may trigger a special assessment on owners if insurance proceeds are insufficient.
