What Tortosa's governing documents say
Tortosa is a master-planned single-family home community in Maricopa, AZ, governed by a Master Declaration. This document establishes the master homeowners association, common areas, and baseline rules for all lots. Additional subsidiary declarations or neighborhood-specific rules may apply.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit. The master association maintains common areas. You must landscape your lot within 90 days of purchase and keep it neat. If your home is destroyed, you must rebuild within 18 months.
- Residential use & home businesses: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Limited home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside (no signs, customers, or extra traffic). No commercial, industrial, or agricultural uses.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 3 consecutive months. You must lease the entire lot (no partial rentals). Notify the board within 15 days of a lease. Tenants must follow all rules; owners are liable for tenant violations.
- Vehicles & parking: Only private passenger cars and pickup trucks under 1 ton may be parked on driveways or in garages. No RVs, boats, trailers, or commercial vehicles except inside a garage. Inoperable vehicles must be stored out of sight. Overflow guest parking on streets is allowed for up to 24 hours.
- Animals: A reasonable number of common house pets are allowed, but not for breeding or commercial purposes. The architectural committee decides what is reasonable. No livestock or poultry, and pets must not be a nuisance. Pet structures must not be visible from neighboring property.
- Architectural review: An architectural committee must approve all exterior changes, including landscaping, antennas, solar panels, and fences. Antennas under 1 meter are allowed but need approval to minimize visibility. Solar panels must be screened unless not visible from neighbors.
- Nuisances & prohibited activities: No offensive odors, noise, dust, or hazardous activities. No interference with drainage. Clotheslines must be hidden. Trash containers must be screened and only placed out for collection. Garage doors must stay closed except for entry/exit.
- What this document doesn't cover: This master declaration sets only baseline rules. Individual subdivisions may have additional covenants through subsidiary declarations, architectural rules, or community-specific restrictions. Not a complete rulebook; check for sub-association rules.
