What Artesian Ranch's governing documents say

This is the full governing document for Artesian Ranch, a single-family home HOA in Chandler, AZ. It establishes the association, assessments, architectural controls, use restrictions, and maintenance obligations for all lot owners. The rules apply to every owner, resident, and tenant.

• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay Regular Assessments set annually by the Board, plus possible Special Assessments (approved by 2/3 of Class A Members after Transition Date) and Benefited Assessments for specific lots. Transfer fees apply on resale (up to 25% of the Regular Assessment). Late payments incur 18% annual interest and a late fee of up to $50 or 50% of the unpaid amount.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes (buildings, fences, painting, landscaping) may be made without prior approval from the Design Review Committee. Plans must comply with Design Guidelines, which the Committee may amend. Approval covers aesthetics, not engineering or code compliance.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their lots, but lessees must comply with all HOA rules. The document references a leasing section (7.23), but specific lease terms (minimum duration, registration) are not detailed in the excerpt. Owners remain responsible for tenant compliance.
• Use restrictions: Residential use only. Nuisances, construction activities, trash storage, clothes drying facilities, and vehicle parking are regulated. The Board may adopt rules on these matters. Violations can result in fines and suspension of common area use.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The Association maintains all common areas, including infrastructure like reclaimed water systems. Each lot owner is responsible for their own lot's maintenance, subject to standards set by the Board. The Association may assess costs for improper maintenance.
• Dispute resolution: The document includes a dispute resolution process (Article 10) requiring alternative dispute resolution before litigation. Owners must attempt to cure alleged defects before suing. The Association can enforce rules through fines, liens, and foreclosure for unpaid assessments.
