Portales Townhome Condominiums

What Portales Townhome Condominiums's governing documents say

Portales Townhome Condominiums is a 6-unit condominium community in Mesa, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of common elements, which the association maintains and insures, funded by equal per-unit assessments. This document is the full declaration binding all unit owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior surfaces (walls, floor, ceiling) and fixtures serving only your unit, but not structural components. You must maintain your unit and certain limited common elements (e.g., patio, exterior doors/windows). The association maintains all common elements.
• Assessments & fees: Each of the six units pays an equal share of common expenses. The board sets annual assessments and may increase them mid-year. Special assessments over $0 require approval by 2/3 of voting members. A one-time working capital payment of 2 months' assessment is due from each first purchaser; a transfer fee may also apply.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire unit only (no partial leases or subleases) under a written lease. The lease must acknowledge the declaration and rules. You must provide the association with tenant info and emergency contact at least 10 days before move-in. There is no minimum lease term stated.
• Pets: No more than two domestic pets (dogs, cats, or household birds) per unit. Dogs must be leashed outside and feces removed immediately. No pet structures visible from outside. The board may adopt weight/height limits with member vote.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be parked anywhere except in garages. Regular vehicles may only park in designated spaces. No repairs on the property except emergency repairs. Vehicles violating rules may be towed.
• Use restrictions & alterations: Units are for residential use only; home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside and no customer traffic. Nonstructural interior changes do not need approval, but structural alterations, exterior changes (including window coverings, patio items, and signs) require written board approval. No outside clotheslines or antennas without board permission.
• Declarant rights & transition: The original developer retains special rights (e.g., to add units, use common elements for sales) until 75% of units are sold or 4 years after last sale. During that period, the developer appoints the board and must approve certain board actions.
