Val Vista Lakes Community HOA

What Val Vista Lakes Community HOA's governing documents say

This document is an administrative law judge's decision from June 2025, not the community's governing documents. It resolves a dispute between a homeowner and the Val Vista Lakes Community Association (a homeowners' association in Gilbert, AZ) concerning a specific bylaw violation. It does not contain the full rules for living in the community, but only addresses one rule about board candidate disclosures.

• Board candidate disclosure requirement: Article IV, Section 3 of the association's bylaws requires each board candidate to submit an application disclosing any familial, business, or ownership relationships with other directors or candidates; any current or anticipated conflicts of interest with the association (including whether assessments are current or rules are violated); and any prior board service. The application must be shared with members before the election.
• Violation and order: The association admitted it did not include these disclosure requirements in its 2023 Board Candidate Application, violating its own bylaws. The judge ordered the association to comply with the bylaw and to pay the petitioner's $500 filing fee, but declined to impose a civil penalty.
• What this document doesn't cover: This decision does not include typical HOA rules such as pet limits, leasing restrictions, architectural standards, parking, age restrictions, or assessment amounts. For those rules, you need to consult the full Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules & Regulations of the Val Vista Lakes Community Association.
