What Tonto Forest Estates Homeowners Association's governing documents say
This is an administrative law judge's decision resolving a dispute between a homeowner and the Tonto Forest Estates Homeowners Association, a standard single-family HOA in Mesa, AZ. The decision interprets key provisions of the association's CC&Rs and Arizona law, and is binding on the parties. It addresses two issues: whether the board violated Arizona's open meeting law, and whether the association wrongfully charged a homeowner for septic system work.
- Open meetings & board conduct: The board violated Arizona law when a quorum met informally via Zoom before an open meeting to discuss a new septic policy—even informal discussions of association business must be open to members and properly noticed. The board must comply with A.R.S. § 33-1804 going forward.
- Septic system responsibility: Under CC&R Section 4.32, the association must assume responsibility for monitoring, maintenance, and repair of each owner's required sewage treatment system. Costs are to be included in the annual assessments levied equally among all lots under Article 8, not billed individually to owners.
- Assessment & back charges: The association improperly charged one owner $1,750 for a septic repair and pumpout. The decision holds that costs must come from the general assessment fund, not be back-charged to individual owners. The only exception under Section 11.2 is for damage caused by an owner's act—which was not the case here.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is a binding decision on a specific dispute and does not contain the full CC&Rs. It does not address other typical HOA rules such as architectural guidelines, pet limits, parking, or leasing restrictions. For the complete rules, you must refer to the actual CC&Rs.
