The Palms at Augusta Ranch

What The Palms at Augusta Ranch's governing documents say

The Palms at Augusta Ranch is a residential condominium community in Mesa, AZ. You own your unit's interior; the association maintains common areas, exteriors, and structural elements. The community is part of the larger Augusta Ranch master-planned community, so you will also owe assessments and follow rules set by the Master Association. This document is an excerpt of the full Declaration; some rules (e.g., exact lease terms, pet limits) may not be shown here.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings as finished) and are responsible for its maintenance. The association maintains all common elements, including building exteriors, roofs, and shared amenities. Limited common elements (e.g., your assigned covered parking space, patio/balcony, HVAC unit) are for your exclusive use but the association may maintain them per the declaration.
• Occupancy & use: Each unit must be occupied by a 'Single Family': persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or a group of no more than four unrelated adults living together as a household.
• Parking & vehicles: Each condo unit gets one designated covered parking space (a limited common element). Uncovered 'Open Parking Spaces' are first-come, first-served. Only 'Permitted Vehicles' may park—generally personal cars, SUVs, vans, etc., but no commercial trucks over one ton, recreational vehicles, boats, or trailers. The architectural committee decides what qualifies.
• Leasing & rentals: Rental of units is restricted. The exact minimum lease term is not shown in this excerpt, but the declaration states that rental restrictions apply. Check the full document or association rules for specifics.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund operations, maintenance, insurance, and reserves. Increases are capped at the greater of 12% or the CPI change unless 75% of owners vote for more. Special assessments require 65% owner approval. Late payments incur a 10% late fee and 18% annual interest. Buyers from the developer must pay a working capital contribution equal to 1/6 of the current annual assessment. A reserve contribution and a transfer fee are also required on new purchases.
• Master Association & community: The condominium is part of the Augusta Ranch master-planned community. You must pay assessments to the Master Association in addition to the condo association assessments and follow the Master Association's rules, which include architectural control over exterior modifications.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes to your unit or limited common elements require approval from the Architectural Committee (or the Board if no committee). The committee also decides whether certain commercial vehicles are allowed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include detailed pet rules, specific lease term minimums, or complete rules for amenities. These may be in other sections of the full Declaration or in the Association's rules and regulations.
