Simonton Estates

What Simonton Estates's governing documents say

Simonton Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Mesa, AZ, governed by a homeowners association with a Design and Review Committee. These covenants, conditions, and restrictions bind all lot owners and are designed to protect property values and desirability.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and single-family home. You must keep the lot clean and free of weeds and trash. The association can enter your lot to clean it and charge you if you fail, creating a lien.
• Architectural review: All new construction, modifications, additions, fences, and exterior changes must be approved in advance by the Design and Review Committee. This includes home colors, roof materials, and siding. Wood siding is generally not allowed unless approved for design work.
• Construction standards: Each home must be new construction (not moved from elsewhere) with a minimum livable area of 1,600 square feet (excluding porches and garages). Roofs must be tile or wood shake with a pitch of at least 4/12 (flat roofs allowed only with committee approval and parapet). A two-car enclosed garage is required; no open carports allowed.
• Landscaping: Each lot must be landscaped with at least three 5-gallon trees, ten 1-gallon shrubs, and one 24-inch box tree, and the yard leveled and seeded or covered with gravel. Landscaping must be completed within six months of occupancy.
• Parking & vehicles: Only private passenger cars and pickup trucks under one ton may be parked in side yards (subject to setback and committee approval). Campers, horse trailers, and boats must be parked on the back of the lot and attractively screened. Inoperable vehicles and vehicles under repair must be kept in an enclosed garage.
• Pets: A reasonable number of dogs, cats, birds, or other household pets are allowed, provided they are not a nuisance or threat and are not kept, bred, or maintained for commercial purposes.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business activities are allowed without committee approval. No hotels, multifamily dwellings, boarding houses, or medical facilities are permitted. Temporary living quarters during construction are not allowed.
• Fencing & signs: All rear and side yard fencing must be masonry block; wood fencing is prohibited. Signs are limited to mailboxes, nameplates, and 'for sale' or 'for rent' signs no larger than 480 square inches.
