Ruger Ranch

What Ruger Ranch's governing documents say

Ruger Ranch is a rural residential and ranch property owners community in Peeples Valley, Arizona, consisting of 49 original parcels. You own an individual parcel and are automatically a member of the Ruger Ranch Property Owners Association; the association maintains common roadways, drainage easements, gates, and other shared facilities, funded by annual per-parcel assessments.

• Ownership & the association: You own your individual parcel outright and automatically become a voting member of the Property Owners Association upon taking title. The association maintains common roadways (including snow removal), drainage facilities, gates, fences, and wells for all members.
• Assessments & fees: The regular assessment is $300 per parcel annually (fiscal 2022 rate). Late payments incur a $15 or 10% fee, whichever is greater. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or to bring a parcel into compliance.
• Construction & residential requirements: Primary residences must contain at least 1,800 sq ft of living area, be newly and permanently constructed on-site, and use conventional construction (no mobile or modular homes). Buildings are capped at 2 stories and 30' height. Exterior construction must begin within 180 days of architectural approval and be completed within 1 year. Each parcel may have one primary residence and one guest house or guest quarters.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Review Committee must approve all plans and specifications—including shape, height, materials, colors, location, and site plans—before any construction or exterior alterations begin. The committee's decision is final and not subject to appeal or recourse.
• Animals & livestock: Livestock and poultry are permitted based on acreage: Category A (horses, cattle, swine)—one per 2 acres; Category B (llamas, sheep, goats)—two per 2 acres; Category C (chickens, rabbits, peacocks)—three per 2 acres, with a maximum of five swine per parcel. Dogs must be kept fenced or on leash; commercial animal operations are prohibited.
• Vehicles & recreational equipment: Motor homes, travel trailers, and RVs may not be parked on a parcel for more than 7 cumulative days per month. Unlicensed vehicles, boats, and campers must be stored in an approved garage or outbuilding.
• Utilities & sewage: All utility lines must be placed underground from the point they enter the parcel (unless the Architectural Review Committee approves above-ground installation for topographic constraints). All residences require individual septic systems meeting Yavapai County Health Department standards; septic systems cannot be installed within 100 feet of a parcel boundary without ARC approval.
• Setbacks & parcel subdivision: Structures must be set back at least 100 feet from parcel boundary lines unless the ARC approves otherwise in writing. Original parcels may be subdivided once into a maximum of two parcels with a minimum of 15 acres each, each requiring at least 150 feet of road frontage.
