Cedar Heights

What Cedar Heights's governing documents say

Cedar Heights is a residential subdivision in Paulden, Arizona, regulated by recorded restrictive covenants (not an HOA) that bind all current and future landowners. The covenants restrict lots to single-family homes and limited farming/ranching operations, with written approval required for construction and strict rules on vehicle storage, animals, and property maintenance.

• Community type & permitted uses: Single-family residential only; farming and ranching operations are permitted if they meet construction and design requirements; commercial businesses are prohibited.
• Prohibited farming & animal operations: Lot owners cannot operate cattle stock yards, meat cutting/packing plants, poultry or egg farms, dairy farms, pig farms, riding stables, kennels, veterinary facilities, or animal rental/storage operations.
• Home construction requirements: Minimum 800 square feet of living area; standard construction design only (no mobile homes, trailers, or modular homes); all construction, additions (garages, storage buildings, porches, carports), and fences require written approval from Robert J. Campbell and Mindy G. Campbell or their agent.
• Vehicle & equipment storage: Junk cars, parts, and equipment are strictly prohibited; construction machinery, dump trucks, and heavy equipment only permitted during active building/lot improvement; no outdoor washing machines or appliances.
• Animal containment & care standards: All domestic and farm animals must be fenced or leashed at all times; farm animals must be maintained clean and free of odor, insects, and disease; any farm animals that create a nuisance to the community must be removed immediately.
• Property maintenance standards: All lots and landscaping must be maintained to community standard; trash and garbage must be kept in enclosed containers; the original declarants can enforce maintenance standards and charge owners for costs of bringing non-compliant properties up to standard.
• Enforcement & duration: Covenants originally ran through January 1, 2025, then automatically extend for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of landowners vote to modify; any landowner can bring legal action for violations, which may result in injunction, damages, and attorney's fees.
