Centre Court

What Centre Court's governing documents say

Centre Court is a single-family home community in Mesa, AZ. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) is the governing document that all homeowners, tenants, and guests must follow. It establishes a homeowners' association (HOA) with an architectural committee and sets rules for property use, construction, landscaping, and assessments.

• Property use: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. Minimum livable area is 4,500 square feet (4,000 square feet for ground level if there is a second story or basement). No business or non-residential use is allowed, and no boats, trucks, or recreational vehicles may be used as permanent living spaces.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee (initially Dennis Porter, K. Gary Gietz, Maury Tanner, Gerald Williams) must approve all exterior changes, including new construction, fences, landscaping, and color changes. Approval is based on harmony with surroundings; the committee may deny applications that are not in keeping with the majority of homes. Decisions are made within 30 days, and if no response after a demand, approval is deemed given.
• Setbacks & lot sizes: Minimum setbacks: 60 feet from front, 35 feet from rear, 30 feet from side. Accessory buildings must be at least 20 feet from rear boundary. Variances are possible with city approval and committee discretion. Two or more lots may be consolidated, but no lot may be subdivided below 35,000 square feet.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of generally recognized house or yard pets are allowed, kept solely as domestic pets and not for commercial purposes. Pets must not cause unreasonable noise or nuisance. Structures for pets must not be visible from neighboring property unless approved. The board or committee decides whether a particular animal qualifies as a pet.
• Leasing: Leasing an entire Manor Homesite is permitted, but occupancy is limited to the lessee and family, servants, and guests. Transient tenants are not allowed. Occasional renting to clergy, students, or foster children is not considered transient.
• Assessments: Annual assessments start at $1,200 per lot and may increase up to 15% per year without a membership vote; increases above 15% require a two-thirds vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote of members. Assessments are uniform per lot and create a personal obligation and lien on the property. Late fees, interest, and attorneys' fees may be added.
• Parking & vehicles: Street parking is not allowed for extended periods. Boats, trailers, RVs, campers, and trucks must not be visible from neighboring property unless approved. Garages must be used primarily for parking and must accommodate three cars; no carports are allowed. Motorcycles and motor-driven vehicles (except lawn equipment) are prohibited on walkways.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Front yard landscaping must be approved by the Architectural Committee. Owners must maintain landscaping, including citrus trees (a minimum of one row along sides and rear). Inside perimeter trees must be planted along fences. Desert landscaping is not permitted except for small amounts of decomposed granite in approved areas. Owners must install underground sprinklers and keep lots free of weeds and debris.
