Crossroads Homeowners Association

What Crossroads Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Crossroads is a single-family homeowner association in Portland, AZ, designed for small farmsteads and recreational rural living with minimal restrictions. These covenants, recorded for the property, bind all owners and set rules for land use, structures, livestock, and environmental protection. The association also has bylaws governing meetings, board elections, and fine procedures.

• Land use & permitted activities: All parcels are limited to single-family residential and recreational use only. Livestock may be kept for personal consumption, but no commercial activity (including commercial marijuana growing, greenhouses, or stockyards) is allowed. Hunting is permitted on parcels but prohibited on access roads; state licenses required.
• Dwellings & temporary structures: One single-family dwelling per five acres. No temporary structures (tents, lean-tos, etc.) may be used as a residence; recreational structures cannot stay more than 21 days per year. Travel trailers, RVs, and mobile homes are allowed. Temporary shelter is permitted during home construction.
• Livestock & pets: Any livestock or pets are allowed as long as they don't create a nuisance. No swine in commercial capacity. Ranching (horses, cattle) permitted on fenced parcels. No more than three dogs per parcel; dogs must be contained to owner's property. Commercial animal activities prohibited.
• Waste & derelict vehicles: Waste must be in closed containers; no dumping or burying of garbage, junk, oil, or other waste. Derelict vehicles (non-running or unlicensed) must be kept in an enclosed garage. Parcels must be free of debris and refuse.
• Environmental protection: Trees with trunk diameter ≥6 inches (at 2 ft above ground) may only be cut if dead/dying or needed for building, utilities, fire prevention, etc. No more than 20% of any parcel may be cleared. Commercial wood harvesting, excavation, and selling of rock are prohibited. Natural streams/springs may not be dammed, rerouted, or polluted.
• Road maintenance & access: Individual owners are responsible for maintaining private access roads. Commercial vehicles (except delivery trucks) are prohibited; if damage occurs, the responsible owner must repair roads at their own expense.
• Setbacks & subdivisions: No structures (except fences and mailboxes) within 70 feet of any access road or 50 feet of a property boundary. Fences must not encroach on road easements. No parcel may be subdivided without seller's written consent.
• What this document doesn't cover: These excerpts do not specify assessment amounts, architectural review procedures (though bylaws mention an Architectural Committee), or any specific age restrictions or leasing rules. The bylaws portion (not fully shown) details meeting procedures, board structure, and fines but does not modify the substantive covenants.
