Cantata

What Cantata's governing documents say

Cantata is a planned single-family home community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). All lots and residences must be used for residential purposes only. The HOA maintains common areas, enforces rules, and levies assessments. Owners, residents, and tenants are bound by the declaration.

• Architectural review: No construction or exterior modification may be made without prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. The committee has broad discretion based on aesthetics, harmony, and compliance with design guidelines. Approval is deemed granted if no decision within 45 days after a complete application, then 30 days after a demand.
• Use restrictions & home businesses: Lots and residences must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Limited home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside, involve no customer traffic, and comply with other conditions. No timesharing or fractional ownership is permitted.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their entire lot and residence only. Leases must be in writing, for an initial term of at least one month. No subleasing or assignment is allowed. Owners must provide the association with lease details 10 days before commencement and are liable for tenant violations.
• Pets: A reasonable number of dogs, cats, and household birds may be kept as pets, but the board determines what is reasonable. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot; dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) when outside. The board may restrict animals on common areas and remove dangerous pets.
• Parking & vehicles: No mobile homes, travel trailers, or similar equipment may be parked on common areas or visibly on lots. Commercial vehicles are prohibited except temporarily. Resident vehicles must be parked in garages (or driveways if garage full). Street parking is limited; overnight parking on streets is not allowed. Inoperable vehicles and repairs visible from neighboring property are prohibited.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies regular and special assessments on lots. Assessments are a lien on the property. Owners are also subject to a transfer fee (amount not specified in excerpt). The association may suspend common area use for assessment delinquency over 15 days.
• Common area & amenities: Owners and residents have an easement to use common areas, subject to board rules and fees. The board may restrict access for rule violations or nonpayment. Common areas include access gates (which do not guarantee security). The declarant retains development easements.
