Morada

What Morada's governing documents say

Morada is a single-family home community in Mesa, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains common areas and enforces rules. All lot owners are mandatory members of the Morada Homeowners Association.

• Architectural review: Any exterior construction or modification (e.g., buildings, fences, landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. The committee has broad discretion based on aesthetics and may charge a review fee. Approvals automatically expire if work doesn't start within 60 days or finish within 12 months.
• Use restrictions & residential character: Lots and homes are for residential use only. Home offices are allowed only if no external signs, customers, employees who aren't residents, or excessive traffic. Temporary buildings, businesses, and nuisances are prohibited.
• Pets: A reasonable number of dogs, cats, or similar household pets are allowed, as determined by the Board. All pets must be confined to the owner's lot; dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) off-property. The Board may restrict dog access on common areas and remove dangerous or nuisance pets.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats, or trailers may be parked on common areas or visibly on lots. Vehicles must be parked in garages first, then driveways, then approved expansions. No inoperable vehicles, repairs visible from neighboring property, or storage on streets.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for the entire lot and residence, with a minimum initial term of one month. Owners must provide the association with tenant information 10 days before lease start and are liable for tenant violations.
• Assessments: Regular assessments are set annually by the Board based on a budget, equal for all assessable lots. Special assessments require approval by two-thirds of member votes (plus Declarant while it owns lots). Assessments are due quarterly or as Board determines; delinquencies may lead to lien and suspension of common area use.
• Signs, antennas & window coverings: No signs visible from neighboring property without committee approval (except Declarant/Association signs). Antennas and satellite dishes require approval unless prohibited by law. Window coverings facing the street must be white or beige; reflective materials are banned.
• Common area use & easements: All owners, residents, and guests have an easement to use common areas, subject to Board rules. The Board may suspend use for assessment delinquencies or rule violations. The Declarant reserves broad easements for development, utilities, and maintenance.
