Legend Hills (AZ)

What Legend Hills (AZ)'s governing documents say

Legend Hills is a single-family home subdivision in rural Yavapai County, Arizona, governed by an HOA. The community consists of 17 parcels intended for attractive rural residential and non-commercial farm/ranch use. These covenants run with the land and bind all owners.

• Architectural review: All permanent improvements require prior written approval from the Association. Applications must include plans and specifications; the Association has 30 days to respond (failure to act deems approval). A reasonable review fee may be charged.
• Minimum building size & construction standards: Residential structures must have at least 2,000 sq ft habitable floor area (one-story) or 2,500 sq ft (1.5- or 2-story), exclusive of basements, porches, and garages. A two-car garage is required. Only site-built homes are allowed; modular, mobile, prefabricated, and other non-traditional homes are prohibited. Construction must be completed within one year (primary residence) and landscaping within 18 months.
• Animals & livestock: Hooved animals (e.g., horses, cattle) are allowed but limited to two animals per acre. Casual breeding for profit is permitted; commercial livestock raising is prohibited. No pigs, hogs, or fighting animals. All animals must be kept within adequately fenced areas, and manure must be removed regularly.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are $25 per acre for unimproved parcels and $75 per acre for improved parcels (those with a building permit). Special assessments require approval by 51% of votes cast at a member meeting. Assessments are a lien on the parcel; unpaid amounts may incur penalties and interest. Regular assessments cannot increase more than 20% over the previous year without majority approval.
• Easements & association maintenance: The Association maintains 68-foot-wide roadway easements and any improvements within the development entry easement. Each owner grants the Association a right of entry for inspection, emergency correction, and enforcement. Owners are responsible for damage caused by their negligence or intentional acts.
• Use restrictions & prohibited activities: No commercial mining, oil/gas drilling, or agricultural crop sales. Temporary occupancy (trailers, tents, incomplete buildings) is prohibited. Propane tanks must be underground or screened; rooftop air conditioners/coolers are prohibited. Reflective exterior materials are banned. Fencing must be pipe, mesh, vinyl, wood, or block/brick/rock; T-post, barbed wire, or barbless wire is not allowed.
• Declarant control: Originally, the Declarant (Transnation Title Insurance Co.) had enhanced voting rights (3 votes per acre vs. 1 vote per acre for owners). Control was transferred to the Legend Hills Community Association in 2015 after the sale of 15 parcels, as recorded in a Transfer of Declarant Control document.
