Palm Valley

What Palm Valley's governing documents say

This is a First Amendment to the Tract Declaration for Palm Valley Phase IIIA Parcel 5, a cluster residential subdivision within the larger Palm Valley master-planned community in Goodyear, Arizona. It supplements the Master Declaration and applies to owners of Lots 1-84 in Parcel 5, establishing additional covenants, restrictions, and procedures specific to this parcel.

• Architectural review: A separate Palm Valley Phase IIIA Parcel 5 Architectural Committee reviews and approves all exterior improvements, landscaping, and modifications visible from neighboring property. Approval is required before any work, and decisions may be based on purely aesthetic considerations. The committee can establish design guidelines and fees.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles exceeding 3/4 ton, commercial vehicles, boats, trailers, or inoperable vehicles may be parked visible from neighboring property. Parking is allowed only on paved driveways; garages must be used for overnight parking. Parking on private accessways is limited to short-term, and parking on private joint ingress/egress easements is prohibited. The association may tow violators at owner expense.
• Exterior modifications (screens, lighting, decorations): Screens, security doors, window tinting, exterior lighting, sculptures, and artwork require prior Architectural Committee approval. Interior window coverings must show a white surface facing outside. Temporary holiday decorations must be removed within two weeks after the holiday.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Owners must landscape rear yards within 90 days of purchase (60 days if a view wall exists). Landscaping must be maintained, and changes require committee approval. The association may enter a lot to install or maintain landscaping if the owner fails to do so, and charge the cost as an assessment. Grass, trees, and an irrigation system are required in side and back yards.
• Assessments: An annual Parcel 5 Assessment of up to $480 per membership (about $40/month) applies, with automatic annual increases of the greater of 10% or CPI. Special parcel assessments may be levied with approval of two-thirds of lot owners. The association also collects master association assessments per the Master Declaration.
• Party walls & fences: Owners of lots sharing party walls or fences are responsible for maintenance and repair as per the Master Declaration. Walls adjacent to private accessways are solely the owner's responsibility, and repairs must match existing adjacent walls.
• Easements: Utility, drainage, and encroachment easements are created. Owners grant easements for utility installation, drainage runoff, and for any builder-constructed encroachments (walls, driveways, etc.) on their lot. Developer also retains easements for signage, sales offices, and construction activities.
• Amendment process: This Tract Declaration can be amended with approval of the Declarant, Builder, Taro, owners of 75% of lots, and the association (once Class B membership ends). Amendments to correct errors or comply with law may be made unilaterally by Declarant/Builder if they do not adversely affect owners.
