What Mesafield's governing documents say

Mesafield is a single-family residential subdivision in Mesa, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs). The rules apply to all lot owners and their tenants, and are designed to protect property values through architectural controls, use restrictions, and mandatory dispute resolution.

• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, alterations, fences, structures, and color scheme changes need prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans submitted are deemed approved if the committee does not act within 45 days.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for 30 days or longer, and the lease must require the tenant to follow the CC&Rs. Business activities are allowed inside the home only if not detectable from outside and with no on-site employees other than residents.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets and not for commercial purposes. No structures for animals may be visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be kept in garages, carports, or driveways. On-street parking is limited to short-term loading/unloading, guest visits without overnight parking, and infrequent special events. Boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles must be stored out of view or screened.
• Lawn & property maintenance: Landscaping must be installed within 180 days of purchase and kept free of weeds and debris. Lawns must be mowed, bushes trimmed, dead plants removed. Buildings must be kept in good repair and painted.
• Signs & antennas: Only one name/address sign up to 9" x 30" is allowed, plus one temporary sign up to 5 sq. ft. for sale/rent. Antennas visible from neighboring property are prohibited unless approved per FCC regulations.
• Dispute resolution: All claims arising from the CC&Rs must go through negotiation and mediation before binding arbitration; court or jury trial is waived. Certain urgent suits (e.g., for injunctions) are exempt.
• Party walls & fences: Owners of adjoining lots share responsibility for party wall/fence repair and maintenance. Damage caused by an owner must be repaired at that owner's cost; ordinary wear and tear is shared proportionally. Disputes go to mediation or binding arbitration.
