Veranda II

What Veranda II's governing documents say

Veranda II is a standard single-family home subdivision in Litchfield Park, AZ, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). All lot owners are automatically members of the association and must follow the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). The document sets rules for occupancy, maintenance, architectural control, assessments, and parking, with the association responsible for common areas and the Dale Wash stormdrain.

• Single-family occupancy: A single family is defined as persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or a group of no more than four unrelated adults living together as a common household. This limits the number of unrelated occupants per lot to four.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments can increase each year by the greater of 10% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) percentage change. If the increase exceeds 20%, it requires approval by more than 50% of all member votes. Special assessments need a 2/3 vote. Inventory lots (owned by the builder) pay only 25% of the full rate. Late payments incur a fee of the greater of $15 or 10% of the unpaid amount, plus 12% annual interest. A one-time working capital payment equal to 1/6 of the annual assessment is due from first-time buyers from the Declarant.
• Landscaping: The public yard of a lot must be landscaped within 90 days of purchase (builder-owned lots exempt). Plans require Architectural Committee approval. At least 25% of the public yard must be turf, grass, or similar ground cover. You must plant at least two 36-inch box trees or three 24-inch box trees (only one may be a palm). Owners are responsible for all landscaping maintenance.
• Fences: Fences require Architectural Committee approval and cannot exceed 6 feet in height from the highest adjacent grade. Unless approved otherwise, fences must be new masonry block or superlite block. Fences on property lines are maintained jointly by adjoining owners; fences adjacent to common area are the lot owner's sole responsibility. Exterior color and finish cannot be altered without approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial or recreational vehicles (e.g., boats, RVs, trailers, camper shells, commercial trucks over 3/4 ton) are generally not allowed on lots unless parked in a designated Side Yard Parking Area approved by the Architectural Committee. Family vehicles (cars, SUVs, motorcycles, etc.) for personal use are permitted. Side Yard Parking Areas require committee review of plans and may not be suitable for all lots.
• Architectural review: Almost all exterior changes to a lot—including landscaping, fences, ancillary units (sheds, gazebos, etc.), side yard parking areas, and other structures—must be approved by the Architectural Committee before installation. The committee has sole discretion over design, materials, and screening from view, with appeals to the Board.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Each owner must maintain their detached dwelling unit and all lot improvements (including landscaping) in a clean, safe, and attractive condition. The association maintains common areas and the Dale Wash stormdrain. If an owner fails to maintain, the association can step in after 30 days' notice and charge the cost as a special assessment with lien priority.
