The Pointe South Mountain

What The Pointe South Mountain's governing documents say

The Pointe South Mountain is a planned residential community in Guadalupe, AZ, with a mix of single-family homes, garden homes, and attached courthomes. This document is the master declaration that establishes the homeowners association (HOA), defines property rights, and sets rules for use, maintenance, and assessments – it applies to all owners and residents. Living here means complying with detailed requirements on landscaping, architecture, parking, and leasing, enforced by the association.

• Residential use & leasing: Each residence must be used exclusively as a single-family home. Leasing is allowed only for the entire residence, for a term of at least six months – no short-term rentals. Owners are responsible for tenant conduct.
• Pets: Only common household pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) in reasonable numbers are allowed. Dogs and cats must wear bells at all times, and cats must have claws removed. Pets must be leashed or fenced and are not allowed to eliminate on common areas or other properties.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change – including painting, landscaping, structures, or alterations – requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Exterior paint colors must match the original developer colors. Construction must be completed within 90 days.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Owners must install and maintain landscaping within their property lines according to specific minimum plant requirements (e.g., palm trees, bougainvillea). Automatic irrigation is mandatory. Lawns must be overseeded in winter. No more than one-fifth of landscaping may be hardscape. Owners must keep their residence in good repair; courthome owners collectively maintain shared exteriors.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked only in carports, garages, or designated areas. Street parking is limited to deliveries and short-term guests (except on certain streets). Boats, trucks, RVs, and commercial vehicles are not allowed where visible from neighboring property. Garage doors must stay closed except when in use.
• Assessments & fees: Each residence pays regular assessments determined by the board for common area maintenance, operations, insurance, and reserves. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote of owners. Developer-owned homes pay only 25% of the regular assessment until rented or occupied.
• Party walls (for attached homes): For attached residences, party walls are shared responsibility. Damage caused by one owner must be repaired at that owner's expense; damage from other causes is shared equally. Any wall alterations require consent from the adjoining owner and the Architectural Committee.
• Common area & association powers: The association maintains all common areas (roads, pools, landscaping, etc.) and can adopt and enforce rules, fine violations ($100 per offense per day), and place liens on residences for unpaid assessments. Members vote: courthome owners get 1 vote, garden/single-family owners get 2 votes per residence.
