Recorded covenants run with the land, but there is no mandatory homeowners association collecting dues.
We didn't find proxy provisions in the governing documents on file. This usually means the bylaws haven't been uploaded yet.

What Santo Tomas Mesa's governing documents say
Santo Tomas Mesa is a townhome/attached community in Mesa, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions recorded in 1973. The rules apply to lot owners and residents within the subdivision, which is restricted to single-family dwellings (including party walls). The document sets out limited covenants focused on use, appearance, and maintenance; it does not address fees, leasing, or age restrictions.
- Residential use only: All lots (except tracts A and B designated as parkways) are for private single-family dwellings only. No business, hospital, church, or other non-residential use is permitted.
- Minimum size & architectural review: Each dwelling must have at least 1,200 sq. ft. of fully enclosed living space (excluding porches, terraces, garage). All construction, additions, fences, and walls require prior approval by the Santo Tomas Mesa Architectural Control Committee.
- Party walls: Walls on lot dividing lines are party walls. Owners share repair costs proportionally. Damage caused by one owner (or their agents/guests) must be repaired at that owner's expense. Disputes are resolved by arbitration.
- Pets & livestock: No livestock or poultry allowed. No more than two domestic pets per lot.
- Signs & nuisances: Only one 'For Rent' or 'For Sale' sign (max 15x25 inches) is allowed. No billboards, unsightly objects, or activities that disturb other occupants.
- Maintenance & landscaping: Owners must landscape the area between sidewalk and front fence within 90 days of closing. Failure allows the Committee to landscape at owner's expense. Owner must maintain premises; the Committee may enter, repair, and charge a lien if owner fails.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not address HOA fees or assessments, leasing/rental restrictions, age/occupant limits, parking rules, or any amendment provisions beyond a 55% owner vote. It is an excerpt of a larger declaration, so additional covenants may exist elsewhere.
