What Sierra Colina's governing documents say

Sierra Colina is a single-family home subdivision in Maricopa Colony, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). As a homeowner, you own your lot and detached dwelling, while the association maintains common areas and enforces rules to protect property values. This declaration applies to all owners, residents, and guests.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the detached dwelling unit, including all interior and exterior improvements. You are responsible for maintaining your home, landscaping, fences, and any ancillary structures. The association maintains common areas, such as parks and drainage tracts.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance, insurance, and reserves. The board can increase assessments annually by up to 10% or the CPI increase, whichever is greater. Increases over 20% require a vote of >50% of all members. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members present. A one-time working capital fee equal to 1/6 of the annual assessment is due from the first purchaser of a lot from the builder.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including landscaping, fences, structures, and painting, require prior approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee enforces Design Guidelines and can grant variances. Decisions can be appealed to the Board.
• Fences & walls: Fences must be new masonry or superlite block, no taller than 6 feet, unless approved by the Architectural Committee. Only lots initially built as View Lots may have view fencing. Dividing-line fences are jointly maintained by adjoining owners. Fence color and design cannot be altered without approval.
• Landscaping: The front yard (Open Yard) must be landscaped within 90 days of ownership, and at least half must be turf, ground cover, trees, or shrubs approved by the Architectural Committee. Owners must maintain all landscaping in a clean and neat condition.
• Vehicles & parking: Commercial vehicles resembling personal vehicles (e.g., pickup trucks ≤1 ton without advertising) are allowed. Recreational vehicles (boats, RVs, etc.) may be parked only in a garage or approved Side Yard Parking Area if screened from view. Street parking is subject to state law; certain emergency vehicles are permitted. No vehicle repair or storage of inoperable vehicles is allowed.
• Alternative dispute resolution: The declaration requires alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures for claims and disputes arising under the governing documents, as detailed in Article XII of the declaration and Article VII of the bylaws.
