Dreamland Villa Retirement Community HOA

What Dreamland Villa Retirement Community HOA's governing documents say

Dreamland Villa is an age-restricted (55+) retirement community in Mesa, AZ, governed by a nonprofit corporation with a membership structure. Property owners automatically become non-voting members, but residents aged 55+ can purchase voting membership to access amenities like pools, hot tubs, and common areas. The rules focus on maintaining the 55+ atmosphere and common area usage.

• Membership & Fees: Property owners are non-voting members. Residents (55+) and renters in designated apartments (55+) may buy voting membership for a fee determined annually by the board. Annual fee increases over 10% require member approval. New members pay a pro-rated fee. Transfer and disclosure fees are charged at property closing. Voting membership includes a Kee card for amenity access.
• Common Area & Amenities: Only voting members and their guests (day guests max 2 visits/month, houseguests up to 30 days) may use facilities. Sponsored associate members (55+, non-resident) may use amenities but cannot vote or bring guests. Smoking/vaping prohibited indoors and within 20 feet of doors. No illegal drugs. Harassment prohibited.

• Nature Walk: A natural common area. Only bordering lot owners (as of 2008) may drive on it (walking pace ≤3 mph). Key deposit $50 refundable, $100 if lost. No structures, dumping, or parking. Native drought-resistant landscaping allowed with board approval. Pets must be leashed and waste cleaned up.

Annual member meeting in January; special meetings called by 100 petitioning members. Quorum for membership is 100 voting members. Board quorum is 4. Directors are unpaid; capital expenditures over $20,000 require member vote.
• Enforcement: Violators receive written notices; continued violations can result in suspension or revocation of membership privileges. Voting members are responsible for their guests' conduct. Maricopa County enforces zoning and code violations.
