What Spring Meadows's governing documents say
Spring Meadows is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) community in Tempe, Arizona. You own your lot and house, while the association maintains common areas. These rules apply to all owners, residents, and guests.
- Architectural review: Any exterior modification visible from neighboring property (e.g., painting, fences, landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Board or Architectural Committee. The Board has broad discretion based on aesthetics and harmony with the community.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for a term of at least one year. No leasing is allowed within 18 months after you purchase the lot. The lessee must agree to follow all governing documents.
- Pets & animals: Reasonable numbers of dogs, cats, and common household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes. Pets must be kept on a leash (max 6 feet) when outside the lot, and owners must clean up droppings. The Board may later limit size/number, but existing pets are grandfathered.
- Parking & vehicles: Commercial vehicles, trailers, boats, and RVs cannot be parked visibly on lots or common areas except temporarily (24 hours) or inside an enclosed garage. Family vehicles (cars, small pickups, SUVs) may park in driveways. Inoperable vehicles or repairs outside garages are prohibited. Violators may be towed at owner expense.
- Signs & flags: Signs are generally prohibited except for 'for sale' signs (one per lot), political signs (max 24x24 inches, displayed 45 days before to 7 days after election), and an American flag with Board-approved flagpole. 'For lease' signs are expressly prohibited.
- Assessments & fees: The association levies annual and special assessments on each lot. Unpaid assessments become a lien. A transfer fee is due upon sale or lease. The association can also impose enforcement assessments and fines for violations.
- Business use: Residential dwellings may be used for business only if it's not detectable from outside, complies with zoning, involves minimal visitors, and does not create nuisance. Leasing is not considered a business.
- Maintenance obligations: Owners must maintain their lot, including landscaping and exterior repairs, so it remains neat and in good condition. The association maintains common areas. Owners are responsible for utility charges on their lot.
