What Suncrest Villas Mesa's governing documents say

Suncrest Villas Mesa is a planned unit development of duplex homes (attached townhome-style) in Mesa, AZ, regulated by a homeowners association. You own your lot and the duplex unit on it, and share ownership of common areas like recreation facilities and landscaping. The association maintains certain exterior walls, front-yard landscaping, and common areas, while you maintain the rest of your unit and lot. This document is the full set of rules for owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the duplex unit (including interior, exterior, and attached carport/garage). You must maintain the interior and most exterior (except walls and landscaping maintained by the association). You must cooperate with your adjoining duplex owner to maintain the shared roof and paint the exterior uniformly. Party walls (walls on the lot line) are shared and repaired jointly, unless damage is caused by one owner.
• Use restrictions & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No more than one living unit per lot. A 'Single Family' is defined as groups related by blood/marriage/adoption, or up to three unrelated persons, plus domestic servants. No business, commercial, or industrial use is allowed except by the declarant during development.
• Pets: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised or kept except for dogs, cats, or other household pets, provided they are not kept for commercial purposes and not in 'unreasonable numbers' as determined by the board. All pets must be kept in a fenced yard or on a leash at all times and must not be annoying to neighbors.
• Vehicles & parking: No trailers, campers, motorhomes, boats, or similar equipment may remain on a lot unless completely enclosed, nor overnight on any street. Abandoned or inoperable vehicles may not be stored on any lot in a way visible from neighboring property or placed on a street. Garage doors must be kept closed if contents are unsightly.
• Architectural review: All landscaping (except within enclosed areas), buildings, fences, walls, solar collectors, and exterior alterations require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans must be submitted; if no approval or disapproval within 30 days, approval is deemed granted.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments and special assessments (approved by 2/3 vote). Maximum annual assessment is tied to the Consumer Price Index. Assessments are due monthly; late payments incur 10% annual interest and a $5/month late penalty. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot. Owner is personally liable.
• Signs & antennas: No signs or billboards visible to public, except one small for-sale/rent sign (18x24 inches) per lot, and signs by the declarant or approved by the board. Outdoor antennas or satellite dishes require Architectural Committee approval, except one reasonably sized antenna for local TV/radio reception.
• Rentals & leasing: This document does not address lease terms or rental restrictions. Rental is implicitly allowed as long as it remains single-family residential use. Tenants may use common areas as delegated by the owner. No minimum or maximum lease term is stated.
