Arlington Estates at South Mountain

What Arlington Estates at South Mountain's governing documents say

Arlington Estates at South Mountain is a single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. These Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs) run with the land and bind all owners, occupants, and lessees. They cover permitted uses, property maintenance, architectural control, and community standards. Prospective buyers and current homeowners should review these rules to understand what living here requires.

• Residential use & home businesses: Lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. Limited home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve no routine employee visits, and are consistent with residential character. The board decides if a business qualifies.
• Pets: Household pets are allowed, but no more than two of any single species (e.g., two dogs) and no more than six total pets. Offspring may be kept up to 16 weeks. Pets must be kept indoors or in fenced yards, not run loose, and owners must clean up waste. The board determines if a pet is a nuisance.
• Leasing & rentals: Only entire living units may be leased, not portions. Leases must be in writing and comply with all governing documents. Transient or hotel use is prohibited. Owners must notify the association in writing of lease start/end dates and occupant names.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, RVs, trailers, or commercial vehicles over 1 ton may be visible from neighboring property. All other vehicles must park in garages or on paved driveways. Guest parking on roadways is limited to 10 hours. Garage doors must stay closed except for ingress/egress. Violators may be towed at owner's expense.
• Architectural review & exterior changes: All exterior alterations (construction, painting, landscaping changes) require prior written approval from the Architectural and Landscaping Control Committee. Fencing must be masonry/wrought iron, max 6 feet tall. Storage sheds must match the house materials and color. Basketball goals must have clear backboards and free-standing poles painted to match the house; no attachment to the unit.
• Landscaping requirements: Landscaping must be installed within 120 days of purchasing a lot if not already done. Failure results in a $250 fine at 180 days, then $50 per day after 210 days. All landscaping must comply with architectural guidelines. Front yards and areas visible from neighboring property must be landscaped.
• Signs & window coverings: Only two address signs (total 84 sq in) and one for-sale/rent sign (max 24x24 inches) are allowed, subject to committee approval. Window coverings visible from outside must be neutral in color; no reflective coatings or blankets/sheets (except 30 days after move-in).
• Common areas & maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas, perimeter walls, and entry features. Owners maintain their lots and improvements, including interior sides of perimeter walls on their lot. Shared driveways are maintained equally by the adjacent owners, unless one owner causes damage. The association can enter lots for inspections and maintenance of common elements.
