Stonegate Homeowners Association, Scottsdale

What Stonegate Homeowners Association, Scottsdale's governing documents say

Stonegate Community Association is a homeowners association (HOA) in Scottsdale, Arizona. This document is the association's Amended and Restated Bylaws, which govern the internal operations of the HOA—how the board is elected, how meetings are run, how fines are imposed, and how architectural changes are approved. These rules apply to all property owners in the community.

• Board of Directors: The board has 5–7 members (odd number) who must own a home in Stonegate and have lived there at least one year. Directors serve staggered 2-year terms, with a maximum of two consecutive terms. The board manages association affairs, adopts budgets, enforces rules, and can levy fines.
• Meetings of Members: Annual meetings are held in March. Special meetings can be called by the board or by petition of 1/4 of the votes. A quorum is 1/10 of total votes. Members may vote in person or by proxy (valid up to 25 months).
• Fines & Violations: The board can fine owners for rule violations. The process includes a Notice of Violation with fine amount, a 10-day payment period, and a right to request a hearing before the board or a hearing officer. Unpaid fines become a lien on the property.
• Architectural Committee: A committee of at least 3 members (odd number) appointed by the board reviews and approves exterior changes, landscaping, colors, and materials. Their decisions are final unless overridden by the board. The committee can adopt its own rules.
• Voting & Elections: Directors are elected at annual meetings. A Nomination and Election Committee (7 members, all residents for at least one year) slates candidates. Owners can also nominate by petition with 75 votes. Cumulative voting is not allowed.
• Association Powers: The board can borrow money (over $5,000 requires 2/3 member vote), spend on capital projects over $100,000 (requires majority vote unless emergency), and suspend voting/amenity rights for non-payment (15 days) or other infractions (up to 60 days).
• What this document doesn't cover: These bylaws only cover the association's governance and internal procedures. They do not include specific rules about pets, leasing, age restrictions, parking, or other use restrictions. Those would be in the Declaration of Covenants (CC&Rs) and separate rules.
