Anderson Farms

What Anderson Farms's governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for Anderson Farms, a planned residential community in Maricopa, Arizona, establishing a mandatory homeowners' association. It applies to all homeowners (lot owners) and residents and sets rules for single-family living, including use restrictions, maintenance obligations, architectural controls, and assessment requirements.

• Residential use & home businesses: Lots and dwelling units may be used only for single-family residential purposes. Limited home businesses are allowed if they are not detectable from outside, conform to zoning, generate no customer traffic, and don't create a nuisance.
• Pets & animals: Only generally recognized house or yard pets in reasonable numbers (determined by the board) are allowed; no livestock or poultry. Dogs must be leashed off the owner's lot, and the board may restrict dogs on common areas. Pet waste must be removed immediately from common areas. Pet structures must not be visible from neighboring property unless approved by the Architectural Committee.
• Vehicles & parking: Garages must be used for parking at least two vehicles and cannot be converted to living space. Garage doors must be kept closed as per association rules. No recreational vehicles or boats are explicitly restricted in this excerpt, but the table of contents references Section 4.15 (Vehicles) and 4.15 (Recreational Vehicle), suggesting additional rules not fully captured here.
• Leasing & rentals: The document includes a Section 4.22 on leasing obligations of tenants, but the text is not provided in the excerpt. No minimum lease term or other rental restrictions are visible in this portion.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, including buildings, fences, landscaping, solar panels, antennas, and window coverings, require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has broad discretion to ensure compatibility with the community's overall theme.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments, special assessments, and other charges against each lot. A working capital contribution and reserve contribution are required from purchasers. Assessments are due as set by the board, and unpaid assessments create a lien on the property.
• Dispute resolution: All disputes subject to mandatory binding arbitration as detailed in Article 11. Owners waive jury trial rights. Claims must follow the prescribed procedures, and the board may impose fines for violations after a hearing.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas and designated association-maintained areas (including certain public rights-of-way). Homeowners are responsible for maintaining their lots and improvements, including window coverings, garages, and landscaping, in compliance with maintenance standards set by the board.
