Mission Heights

What Mission Heights's governing documents say

Mission Heights is a planned single-family home community in Mesa, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The rules apply to all owners, residents, and tenants, and cover architectural standards, leasing, pets, vehicle parking, and assessments.

• Architectural review: Any exterior modification visible from neighboring property must get prior written approval from the Architectural Committee or Board. Applications are reviewed within 60 days; disapproval can be based on aesthetics. Fees may apply, and a security deposit may be required.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing and for a minimum of six months. Owners must notify the association within 15 days of a new tenancy, providing lease dates and tenant contact info. A new tenancy records fee may be charged.
• Animals: Only dogs, cats, common domestic birds, and similar household pets are allowed, kept as pets and not for commercial purposes. Pets must be leashed (max 6 ft) when outside the owner's lot, and owners must immediately remove droppings. Excessive noise is prohibited.
• Use restrictions: Residential dwellings are for single-family use only. Home-based businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, conform to zoning, generate minimal traffic, and use no hazardous materials beyond household quantities. Door-to-door solicitation is regulated by association rules.
• Vehicles & parking: Commercial/recreational vehicles are restricted. Parking and towing rules are set by the association. Vehicles must follow association rules and may be towed for violations.
• Assessments: Annual assessments are levied per lot, and special assessments may be imposed. Nonpayment creates a lien and can lead to enforcement assessments, late fees, and collection costs. The association may also levy enforcement assessments for rule violations.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas and certain lot areas (like public yards) as defined in the declaration. Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot and improvements, including repairs and insurance. Failure to maintain may be deemed a nuisance.
