La Caille Community Association

What La Caille Community Association's governing documents say

La Caille is a single-family residential HOA in Peoria, Arizona, developed to preserve the natural desert environment. You own your individual lot and share a homeowners association that maintains common areas through per-lot assessments. The developer retains significant control over architectural standards and governance through the initial build-out.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and are responsible for all maintenance, repairs, and landscaping on your property. The association maintains common areas including perimeter walls, drainage easements, private streets, and street lighting, funded by per-lot assessments.
• Annual assessments & costs: Annual assessments began at a maximum of $900/year (fiscal 1995) and can increase annually without an owner vote by the greater of the Consumer Price Index or 10%; larger increases require a 2/3 member vote. Unpaid assessments accrue 12% annual interest (or the Veterans Administration rate, whichever is higher) plus late fees. The association holds a lien on your lot and can suspend recreational access or pursue foreclosure for delinquency.
• Architectural review & exterior modifications: All exterior work—construction, landscaping, fences, paint, HVAC units, solar panels, signage—requires written Architectural Committee approval before you start. The committee has 45 days to respond; silence = approval. During the developer's ownership, the developer appoints the committee and controls design standards; afterward, the board does.
• Land use & residential restrictions: Properties are restricted to single-family residential use. Limited home-based business is allowed if minimal, with no client meetings or shipping. Horses are permitted subject to zoning; domestic pets are allowed in reasonable numbers, though they must be leashed off your property and cannot create noise or waste nuisance.
• Lot subdivision limits: Lots 1–9 cannot be subdivided without HOA approval. Lots 10–12 can be subdivided once only, but no resulting lot may be smaller than 35,000 square feet.
• Common area access & suspension: You have non-exclusive access to common areas, limited to owners and accompanied guests. The association can suspend your recreational facility use for unpaid assessments or rule violations (typically 60 days, extendable if violations persist).
• Voting & developer control: Each owner votes once per lot. The developer initially votes one per acre, appoints the Architectural Committee, and controls director elections until nine of the twelve lots are sold to non-developers. This developer veto power then terminates.
