Cresent Hills

What Cresent Hills's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Cresent Hills, a single‑family home subdivision in Peoria, AZ. The rules apply to all homeowners (lot owners); renters and guests must follow them through the owner. The text is an excerpt and may be incomplete.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. Common Area (Tract D) is owned by the HOA and maintained by the Association. Yards visible from the street must have landscaping installed within 180 days of closing and be kept neat; the HOA can do the work at your expense if you don't.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change—building, fence, wall, color, materials—needs written approval from the Architectural Committee (3 regular members, appointed by Board). Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days.
• Permitted uses & restrictions: Lots are for single‑family residential use only. No commercial activity. Signs: only one name/address sign (max 9"x30") and one temporary sale/rent sign (max 5 sq ft). Antennas visible from neighboring property are banned unless Board approves. No clotheslines visible from neighboring property. No temporary structures used as residences.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of generally recognized house or yard pets allowed, kept as domestic pets only (no commercial breeding). No structure for animal confinement visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: On‑street parking discouraged; vehicles should be in garages, carports, or driveways. No vehicles exceeding 3/4 ton, mobile homes, trailers, boats, etc. may be parked or stored visible from neighboring property, except pickups under 3/4 ton and mini motor homes under 7' tall and 18' long if used for basic transportation. Inoperable vehicles must not be visible. No vehicle repairs on lots except emergencies.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessment started at $180 per lot (1989 max). Can increase annually by 10% or CPI change (whichever higher) without a vote; above that needs 2/3 member vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also need 2/3 vote. Assessments payable monthly. Delinquent amounts bear 12% interest (or VA rate) and become a lien on the lot, which can be foreclosed like a mortgage.
• Leasing: The document does not set a minimum lease term or restrict leasing beyond requiring compliance with all rules. (Leasing is implicitly allowed under 'single family residential use' subject to Declaration.)
• Enforcement & liens: If assessments are unpaid after 30 days, the HOA can sue and record a lien on the lot. The lien is subordinate to first mortgages. Foreclosure can occur. The HOA can also suspend voting and common‑area use for up to 60 days for rule violations.
