Salerno Ranch

What Salerno Ranch's governing documents say

Salerno Ranch is a single-family residential subdivision in Mesa, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). All lot owners are automatically members of the HOA and must comply with the covenants, conditions, and restrictions in this declaration, which cover architectural control, land use, maintenance, and assessments.

• Architectural control & design review: No exterior improvements, alterations, or landscaping may be made without prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. This includes buildings, fences, walls, color schemes, grading, and landscaping. Setbacks must comply with Mesa zoning, and the committee may allow minor variances.
• Permitted use & residential restrictions: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. No gainful occupation, trade, or business is allowed, except a private home office. Only one detached single-family dwelling, one guest house, one outbuilding, one sport court, and a private garage are permitted per lot. No subdivision of lots is allowed.
• Animals & pets: Only a reasonable number of generally recognized house or yard pets are allowed. No animals may be kept before a certificate of occupancy is issued. Pets must not create unreasonable noise or become a nuisance. Structures for animals must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Signs: No signs visible from neighboring property are allowed except: required legal signs, street address numbers, one 'for sale' or 'for lease' sign per residence (max 500 sq. in., at least 6 ft from street), and other signs approved by the Design Review Committee. Builder signs are exempt during development.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked only in garages or driveways. Guest parking is limited to three days. No vehicles exceeding 3/4 ton, mobile homes, trailers, campers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be parked visibly from neighboring property or streets. Recreational vehicles may be parked in side or rear yards if screened by a solid fence or wall.
• Leasing & rentals: An owner may lease the entire dwelling unit to a single-family tenant, subject to all provisions of this declaration. No minimum lease term or specific restrictions beyond tenant obligations are stated.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay regular assessments set by the HOA board. For fiscal year 2001, the maximum regular assessment was $50/month per lot, and thereafter it may increase annually by the greater of 10% or the CPI increase, plus additional increases for insurance, utilities, or taxes. Special assessments require 75% member vote (plus Declarant consent if Class B exists). A capital reserve assessment equal to two months' regular assessment is levied upon lot transfer.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The HOA maintains common areas (streets, landscaping, walls, drainage, etc.). Each owner must maintain their lot, including trimming trees, removing weeds, and keeping the property in good repair. Owners must landscape all disturbed areas within 45 days of certificate of occupancy and complete within 90 days. If an owner fails to maintain, the HOA may do so and charge the owner.
