What Desert Foothills Condominium Association's governing documents say
Desert Foothills Condominium Association (also known as Desert Foothills Villas) is a single-family home community in Guadalupe, AZ, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners, residents, and guests, and is part of a larger master-planned community called The Foothills. This document sets use restrictions, assessment obligations, architectural control, and enforcement policies for the community.
- Residential use & business: All units must be used as a residence by a 'Single Family' (related by blood/marriage/adoption or up to 3 unrelated persons). Home businesses are allowed if not visible or audible from outside, involve no regular visitors, and comply with zoning; leasing is not considered a business.
- Leasing & rentals: Owners have the absolute right to lease their lot, provided the lease is in writing, at least 30 days long, and tenants agree to follow all HOA rules.
- Pets & animals: Only common household pets (dogs, cats, birds) allowed, kept as domestic pets only. Dogs/cats must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off the lot. No pet structures visible from neighboring property. The Architectural Committee can determine if a pet is a nuisance or if the number is unreasonable.
- Architectural review: Any exterior change (construction, painting, landscaping, fences, signs, antennas, basketball goals) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Applications not decided within 60 days are deemed approved. Fees may apply.
- Vehicles & parking: No trucks over 1 ton, trailers, campers, boats, or RVs may be parked visibly without approval, except temporary (48 hours per 7 days) or stored in garages. Parking on streets is limited to 48 hours for guests. Inoperable vehicles must be garaged. No commercial vehicles with visible business markings.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at a maximum of $648 per lot (as of initial document) and can increase annually by the greater of 5% or CPI without member vote. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. Declarant-owned lots pay 25% of the regular rate.
- Violation enforcement & fines: The HOA follows a graduated fine policy: first notice gives 14 days to cure; second notice adds a $25 fine; third notice $50; subsequent fines up to $100 per inspection. A $15 certified mail fee is added per violation. Owners have the right to a hearing before fines are imposed.
- Part of a master association: This community is within 'The Foothills' master-planned community. The Master Association may impose additional rules and assessments, and its documents take precedence over this Declaration.
