Brookfield East III

What Brookfield East III's governing documents say

This Declaration establishes the Brookfield East I Homeowners Association for a 71-lot single-family home subdivision in Mesa, Arizona. All lots are restricted to single-family residential use, and the HOA maintains common areas (private streets, pool, tot lot, and landscape strips) and the front yard landscaping of each lot. Annual assessments fund these services and are initially capped at $480 per lot, adjustable by CPI or a 2/3 membership vote.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling. The HOA maintains the front yard landscaping (between curb and garage/wall), all common areas (private streets, pool, tot lot, interior landscape strips), and may optionally maintain exterior improvements. You are responsible for interior upkeep, termite control, and any exterior maintenance not assumed by the HOA.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at a maximum of $480 per lot (1986 figure) and can increase annually by the Consumer Price Index without a vote. Higher increases or special assessments for capital improvements require approval of 2/3 of each voting class. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and a lien on the property; late payments incur 15% annual interest plus collection fees.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing an entire lot to a single family is permitted. No lease term minimum is stated, but the Declaration allows leasing from time to time subject to all other restrictions. Short-term or vacation rentals are not explicitly prohibited, but the single-family use requirement and occupancy limits apply.
• Pets & animals: Only a 'reasonable number' of generally recognized house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets and not for commercial purposes. Livestock, poultry, and other animals are prohibited.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (buildings, fences, walls, alterations, front yard landscaping) require prior written approval from the Board or an architectural committee. If no decision is made within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed given.
• Parking & vehicles: No lot may be used for parking, storing, or repairing vehicles, boats, trailers, or campers except within an enclosed garage. Washing and polishing are allowed. No commercial vehicle repair or major maintenance outside.
• Use restrictions: Only single-family residential use. No trailers, tents, or temporary structures for residence. No nuisances (debris, excessive noise, unsightly conditions). Fences require approval. No subdivision of lots. Signs limited to one 12"x18" 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign. Clotheslines not visible from street or neighbors.
• What this document doesn't cover: This Declaration does not include detailed pet limits (only 'reasonable number'), specific lease term minimums, age restrictions, rental caps, or noise hours. It also does not specify current assessment amounts or amenities beyond those listed (pool, tot lot).
