Vista De Montana

What Vista De Montana's governing documents say

Vista De Montana is a planned community of single-family homes in Buckeye, Arizona, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements (CC&Rs) binds all owners and occupants, establishing a development scheme with architectural controls, common area easements, and an assessment structure. The community is still under developer control during the Declarant Control Period, which may extend until 2060.

• Architectural review & design control: All exterior improvements, landscaping, and alterations require prior written approval from the Reviewing Authority (Declarant or Design Review Committee). Design Review Guidelines govern colors, materials, setbacks, and landscaping, and the authority may waive or vary requirements. Declarant and its affiliates are exempt from review.
• Property maintenance responsibilities: Owners are responsible for maintaining their lots and dwellings, including any party walls or fencing that adjoin common area. The Association maintains the common area, and may enter lots for inspection and emergency repairs.
• Assessments & fees: The Association levies Regular Assessments (annual), Special Assessments, and Benefited Assessments. A Working Capital Fund Assessment equal to 1/6 of the annual Regular Assessment is due upon transfer. Delinquent amounts incur late charges, interest, and collection costs, and are secured by a lien on the lot.
• Party walls: Owners of contiguous lots sharing walls or fences have mutual rights and obligations. Willful damage is repaired at the responsible owner's expense; other damage is shared ratably by adjoining owners. Disputes are resolved by the Reviewing Authority with appeal to the Board.
• Easements & common area use: Each owner has a nonexclusive easement to use the common area, subject to Association rules and potential suspension for violations or delinquent assessments. The Association may charge special use fees, modify or convey common area, and Declarant retains broad easements for development and sales.
• Use restrictions & land use classifications: The community is designated for Single Family Residential Use (detached homes). Use Restrictions may be amended by Declarant during the Declarant Control Period, and thereafter by the Board subject to a 67% owner override. No further subdivision or rezoning is allowed without Declarant's approval (while Declarant is a member).
• Dispute resolution: The Declaration requires alternative dispute resolution and establishes a process for litigating claims against the Association, including a right to cure alleged defects. Disputes between owners are submitted to the Reviewing Authority or Board.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific lease restrictions (minimum term or rental caps), pet regulations, parking rules, or detailed amenity descriptions. Those may appear in later sections, Association Rules, or Design Review Guidelines not provided here.
