Rio Del Oro

What Rio Del Oro's governing documents say

Rio Del Oro is a manufactured home subdivision in Mesa, AZ, with 18 lots. Owners own their lot and the manufactured home; the homeowners association maintains common areas. All homes must be new construction, at least 900 square feet and 24 feet wide, and comply with architectural review. Leasing a lot requires prior written consent from the association.

• Manufactured home requirements: All homes must be new construction (no moving from other locations), minimum 900 sq ft and 24 ft wide, with complete sanitary facilities hooked to city services. Homes must be set within 8 inches of ground level, have skirting, ground-mounted HVAC, and upgraded column supports on patios/carports.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration (including construction, landscaping, color change) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has 45 days to respond after receiving all requested plans; if no response, approval is deemed granted. A processing fee and a refundable construction deposit may be required.
• Leasing & rentals: No owner may lease or sublease a lot without the prior written consent of the association. Leases for less than 30 consecutive days are considered a business and are prohibited. The association may enforce rules against lessees and recover enforcement costs from the owner.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied equally per lot; an increase of more than 20% over the prior year requires majority member approval. Special assessments (e.g., for common area repairs) require 67% member vote. The association can charge transfer, refinance, and disclosure fees, and impose fines for violations.
• Use restrictions: Each lot must be used exclusively for residential purposes by a single family (related group or up to 3 unrelated persons). Home-based businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside and conforming to zoning. No nuisances, debris, or activities that interfere with other residents.
• Common area & easements: Owners and their lessees have an easement to use common areas, subject to association rules. The association may suspend use rights for owners delinquent more than 15 days on assessments. Utility and maintenance easements across lots exist. Conveyance of common area requires 67% member vote.
• Enforcement & liens: The association can levy fines, record liens, and suspend voting and common area use for unpaid assessments or rule violations. A notice of violation with a hearing process is required before fines. Enforcement costs, including attorney fees, are the owner's obligation and secured by a lien on the lot.
