Amber Hills

What Amber Hills's governing documents say

Amber Hills is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ. The HOA is run by Amber Hills Homeowners Association, Inc., and these covenants bind all lot owners. The rules cover what you can build, park, and how you maintain your property. The association maintains common areas and enforces design standards.

• What you own & maintain: You own your detached home and lot. You must maintain the dwelling, landscaping, and fences. The HOA maintains common areas and areas of association responsibility. You must landscape your public yard within 90 days of ownership, with at least 25% drought-tolerant ground cover and at least two 36-inch box trees or three 24-inch box trees (no palm, pine, or eucalyptus).
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee must approve all exterior changes—landscaping, fences, sheds, patios, side-yard parking areas, and any ancillary structures. Fences can be up to 6 feet, typically masonry block, and must match original design or get approval.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration includes a section on leasing (Article VIII, Section 8.12), but the provided text does not contain its specific terms. The document does not state minimum lease terms or restrictions beyond referencing the section.
• Parking & vehicles: Only family vehicles (non-commercial, non-recreational) may be parked on lots. Commercial or recreational vehicles (e.g., boats, RVs, trucks over 3/4 ton) are generally prohibited except in approved side-yard parking areas. Temporary parking for guests or loading is allowed. No vehicle repairs on lots.
• Occupancy & use: Single-family use only: a dwelling may be occupied by one or more persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or by up to four unrelated adults living as a single household. No subdivision, time-sharing, or commercial use allowed.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start after the first lot is sold; initial working capital of 1/6 of the current annual assessment is due from the first buyer. Assessments can increase up to 10% per year (or CPI increase, whichever is greater) without a vote; increases over 20% require >50% member approval. Special assessments require 2/3 vote. Late payments incur a $15 or 10% late charge and 12% annual interest.
• Pets & animals: The declaration includes a section on animals (Section 8.02), but the provided text does not contain its specific rules. It likely limits number and type of pets, but details are not available in this excerpt.
