Dobson Pines

What Dobson Pines's governing documents say

Dobson Pines Unit 2 is part of Dobson Ranch, a master-planned community in Mesa, Arizona, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions. The community includes single-family homes, townhouses, and condominium units; property owners automatically become association members and must comply with use restrictions and fund common-area maintenance through annual assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot or unit; the association owns and maintains the common areas, including a recreational lake and adjacent dry land facilities, funded by per-lot assessments.
• Assessment fees & payments: Annual assessment begins at $124.80 per lot, capped at 5% yearly increase without a member vote. Increases exceeding 5% require a two-thirds vote. Late payments incur 6% annual interest.
• Membership & voting: Property owners automatically become association members. Voting is divided by housing type—Class A (single-family), Class B (townhouses), Class C (condominiums), and Class D (developer, until certain transitions occur)—with one vote per unit owned.
• Common area recreation rules: The lake is for water recreation only: electric-motor boats (3 hp or less), row boats, canoes, and paddle boats are permitted; internal combustion engines are strictly prohibited. Swimming is allowed in board-designated areas only. No horses or motor vehicles except in designated parking areas.
• Home size & residential-use restrictions: Homes must be 1,000–4,500 square feet (by section), maximum two stories, single-family dwelling only. No commercial enterprises, hotels, motels, sanitariums, or temporary dwellings; a storage shed (8×10×7 feet maximum) requires committee approval.
• Pets: Maximum three domestic pets per lot, kept in a fenced yard or on leash.
• Architectural review & construction: All buildings, fences, exterior changes, and landscaping require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee before construction. The committee has 30 days to approve; plans are deemed approved if no response is given within that period.
• Vehicle & parking restrictions: Recreational vehicles, boats, campers, and trailers cannot be visible from streets or neighboring lots and may be parked only in fully fenced yards. Vehicles must not exceed three-quarters of a ton and cannot be abandoned or inoperable.
