Q Mountain Vista HOA

What Q Mountain Vista HOA's governing documents say

Q Mountain Vista (formerly Q Mountain Mobile Home Park) in Quartzsite, AZ, is a mobile home park HOA where owners own their lot and a mobile home. The Association manages common areas, roads, and a water company, and enforces rules through the Board of Directors. These governing documents (By-Laws, amendments, and an enforcement policy) bind all lot owners.

• Membership & voting: Each lot owner is a member with one vote per lot (owners of multiple lots each get one vote per lot; joint owners must agree or lose vote). Voting may be in person or by absentee ballot. Cumulative voting is not permitted (per 2008 and 2017 amendments). A quorum is 1/4 of votes of each class.
• Board of Directors: The Board has five directors, all members of the Association, serving staggered two-year terms. Directors are elected by plurality vote at the annual meeting. Board meetings require 3 days' notice to directors; a majority constitutes a quorum. Directors serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for expenses.
• Assessments (dues): Assessments are set by the Board via an annual budget and are generally paid in monthly installments due on the 1st, delinquent after the 10th. The Board may adjust assessments up to 20% without a member vote. A supplemental budget may be adopted if needed. (Specific dollar amounts are not in the By-Laws; the 2015 minutes mention a $4/month increase.)
• Use restrictions: Lots must be kept neat and clean. Mobile homes must be maintained; the Board can reject or require removal of units that adversely affect the resort. Unreasonable noises, obstruction of streets, and violations of law are prohibited. Signs are limited (e.g., 'For Sale' no larger than 18"x24", political signs allowed 45 days before an election). On-street parking is prohibited (per minutes).
• Violation enforcement & fines: The Board enforces rules through a Violation Enforcement Policy adopted in 2018. Fines range from $15 to $500 per day depending on the violation type (e.g., trash containers left out: $15-$45 per day; parking/vehicle violations: $25-$200 per day; unapproved improvements: $75-$150 per day; primary residence without approval: $150 per day). Fines may be retroactive and continue daily. Owners have a right to a hearing before fines are imposed.
• Leasing & rentals: The fine schedule includes a 'minimum lease term or Single Family rental violation' in Category 5 (fine: $150 per day first notice, $300 second, etc.), indicating that leases must meet a minimum term (likely 30 days or more, but no specific term is stated in these excerpts). Landlords must register with the Arizona Department of Revenue (per 2015 minutes).
• Water company & utilities: The Association also operates a water company subject to Arizona Corporation Commission rules. Water rates are set via rate case applications. Late fees are not allowed; delinquent accounts face disconnection. The water system is being upgraded with grant funding. Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot's utilities.
• Important documents not fully covered here: These excerpts include the By-Laws (with amendments) and an Enforcement Policy, but the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) is referenced but not included. Key details about architectural approval, pet restrictions, lease terms, and assessments formulas are likely in the CC&Rs. The meeting minutes provide context but are not the governing rules.
