Apache Peak

What Apache Peak's governing documents say

Apache Peak III Amended is a single-family home community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your lot and home individually. The homeowners' association (Apache Peak III Homeowners' Association) maintains a drainage easement and enforces rules to protect property values. All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only, with a minimum of 2,000 square feet of interior floor space.

• Residential use & restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Indoor home occupations are allowed if the dwelling remains the principal residence, the business is not discernible from outside, and it complies with all laws. No transient hotel use, no further subdivision of lots, and no nuisance activities.
• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement (building, landscaping, fence, color change) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Submit plans on 8.5x11 sheets with color samples; a $250 review fee applies. If no decision within 45 days, approval is deemed granted. Landscaping must use native Arizona/Sonoran Desert plants and be minimal; grass is allowed only in backyards.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for a minimum of 30 days, and cover the entire lot and dwelling. The lease must state it is subject to the Declaration. No transient or hotel-style rentals. Written leases are required.
• Pets & animals: Reasonable numbers of customary household pets (dogs, cats, birds) are allowed as domestic pets. Up to two horses may also be kept, but no other livestock or poultry. All animals must be controlled and not create a nuisance; waste must be promptly disposed of.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages, carports, or driveways. Street parking is for short-term guests only. No inoperable vehicles, no visible parking of trucks over 1 ton, campers, boats, or trailers, except pickup trucks with camper shells (≤7 ft high) and mini-motor homes (≤7 ft high, ≤18 ft long) used for basic transportation. No vehicle repairs visible from other lots or streets.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners are solely responsible for maintaining their lot, residence, and all improvements (including roofs and landscaping) in good repair. The association maintains the drainage easement and flood control facilities. If an owner fails to maintain, the association may enter and perform work, charging the owner (cost becomes a lien).
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt of the full Declaration; it omits specific assessment amounts, amenities, and some rules. No information about pools, clubhouses, or current fees is provided.
