Desert Mountain HOA

What Desert Mountain HOA's governing documents say

Desert Mountain is a master-planned community in Guadalupe, AZ (Scottsdale area), governed by a Master Association with multiple villages. This document is a compilation of Board-adopted resolutions—not the full CC&Rs—that set policies on leasing, vehicle access, fines, open houses, and more. It applies to all homeowners, renters, and visitors.

• Leasing & rentals: Lots cannot be leased to 'Ineligible Renters' (non-members of the Association or Desert Mountain Club) for less than 30 days. First violation triggers a $5,000 fine (or 120% of rental fee), with $5,000 increments for repeat violations. Advertising for short-term rentals also subject to fines.
• Vehicle access (eGo tags): Each owner/renter gets up to 5 eGo tags ($25 each, valid 2 years). Tags can be deactivated for unpaid assessments, fines, or speeding violations. Vendors pay $40/year. Portable transponders available for $100 or rent $25/30 days with $250 deposit.
• Open houses & real estate signs: Open houses allowed 8 am–6 pm with 24-hour notice. One 'For Sale/Rent' sign (18"x24") with single rider permitted on owner's property, at least 8 feet from roadway. Signs must be removed within 5 days of closing. Real estate home tours require 7-day advance notice and agreement.
• Violation enforcement & fines: Two-step notice process: Initial Notice then Second Notice with 10 working days to cure. Fines are imposed after a hearing. Leasing violations have specific fines (see Leasing topic). Speeding fines can lead to eGo tag deactivation.
• Collection of assessments: Assessments billed semi-annually, due 1st of period, grace to 15th. Late letter fee $23.50 at 30 days; demand fee $95 at 51 days. After 120 days, lien filing ($203), eGo tag deactivation, and legal action. Accounts 120+ days delinquent are 100% reserved.
• Records access: Owners may inspect records (9 am–4 pm weekdays) with written notice specifying documents. Copies cost $0.15/page. Original records cannot be removed without Board consent.
• Lot combination: Owners may combine contiguous lots with approval, but each lot continues to be assessed separately and carry separate voting rights unless the Board determines otherwise. Untying lots requires immediate payment of unpaid assessments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a collection of Board resolutions, not the full governing documents. It does not include the Master Declaration, Bylaws, Design Guidelines, or age restrictions. Readers should consult the complete CC&Rs and any village-specific rules.
