What Sonoran Mountain Ranch's governing documents say
Sonoran Mountain Ranch is a standard homeowners association (HOA) for detached single-family homes in Peoria, AZ. You own your lot and home; the Association maintains common areas and enforces rules. These covenants bind all owners and residents.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family residence on it. The Association maintains common areas (e.g., parks, streetscapes) and may also maintain certain rights-of-way. Each owner must maintain their own lot, including landscaping and party walls shared with neighbors.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are $540 per lot initially (max), subject to annual increases up to 10% or CPI, whichever is greater. Special assessments require 2/3 member approval. A transfer fee of $150 (adjustable) and a community enhancement fee (up to 2 months’ assessments) may be charged upon sale. New buyers also pay an extra 2 months’ assessments into reserves.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire unit and lot, with a minimum term of 30 days. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are prohibited.
- Pets: Only dogs, cats, or other common household pets are allowed, in reasonable numbers as determined by the Architectural Committee. No commercial breeding. Pets must be leashed or kept in a fenced yard.
- Parking & vehicles: Private passenger vehicles and pickup trucks under 1 ton may be parked in garages or driveways. Boats, RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles are prohibited unless stored in an enclosed garage or screened from view. Vehicles in disrepair cannot be parked outside. Overnight street parking is limited to 24 hours.
- Architectural review: All exterior changes (landscaping, paint, fences, additions, etc.) require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee must respond within 60 days of a complete application, with a 10-day expedited review upon follow-up. Fees may apply.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are permitted if compliant with Peoria’s home business ordinance. No noxious activities, outdoor clotheslines visible from neighbors, or basketball hoops without approval.
