Mesa Grande Condominiums

What Mesa Grande Condominiums's governing documents say

Mesa Grande Condominiums is a condominium community in Mesa, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the common elements (buildings, pool, clubhouse, tennis court, volleyball court, parking areas, and landscaped grounds). This is the original 1981 governing declaration (CC&Rs) that defines unit owners' rights and obligations, including assessments, use of common areas, and restrictions. The document also provides extensive protections for first mortgage holders.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior cubic space of your apartment (apartment portion of the unit), plus appurtenant storage, deck/patio, and assigned parking spaces. The association maintains all common elements: structural parts of buildings (roofs, foundations, main walls, floors/ceilings to unfinished surfaces), pools, clubhouse, recreational areas, stairways, laundry rooms, and utility installations serving more than one unit.
• Percentage interest & assessments: Each unit has an equal percentage interest in the common elements (1 divided by total units, up to 132). Assessments are levied per unit based on this percentage to cover common expenses. The association may also levy special assessments for capital improvements exceeding $5,000 with owner approval, and for costs up to $25,000 with 75% owner approval.
• Parking: Each unit is entitled to exclusive use of two parking spaces (one covered, one uncovered) located in common areas, assigned by the board. This right is an easement appurtenant to the unit and cannot be severed. Use is subject to board rules.
• Phasing & expansion: The declaration originally covers 72 units in Phase I, with the declarant reserving the right to annex additional property for up to 132 units total. Annexation can occur without owner consent within five years of recording, by filing a supplemental declaration.
• First mortgagee protections: Holders of first mortgages on units have significant rights, including: no liability for pre-foreclosure assessments; ability to vote in place of defaulting owner; notice of defaults and meetings; participation in insurance and condemnation distributions; and the right to approve amendments, termination, or partition. Unpaid assessments from before foreclosure are generally wiped clean against a foreclosing mortgagee, becoming a common expense.
• Use restrictions (overview): The declaration includes provisions on renting units, pets, vehicle parking, signs, exterior appearance, and improper use. However, the specific text of these restrictions (e.g., minimum lease term, pet limits) is not included in this excerpt. Refer to the full document for details.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full text of use restrictions (Section 19), the amounts of assessments or fees, rules for the board, or any specific pet or rental limits. It is a partial, OCR-scanned document with some garbled text.
