August Sun Country Estates

What August Sun Country Estates's governing documents say

August Sun Country Estates is a single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. You own your lot and residence; the association maintains common areas. All owners are mandatory members and must pay assessments. The governing document is a full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all homeowners, tenants, and residents.

• Architectural review: Any exterior construction or modification (including landscaping, fences, paint, antennas, and playground equipment) requires prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. The committee has up to 45 days to respond; if no response, approval is deemed granted. Repainting with original colors or rebuilding per approved plans does not require new approval. Fees may apply for review.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for an initial term of at least one month. Owners must provide the association with tenant information at least 10 days before the lease starts. Subleasing is prohibited. The owner is liable for any rule violations by tenants.
• Pets: Only a 'reasonable number' of dogs, cats, and similar household birds (determined by the board) are allowed as pets, kept solely for domestic purposes. Dogs on common area must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet, and feces must be removed immediately. The board may ban pets that bite, attack, or create excessive noise.
• Parking & vehicles: Motor vehicles over 8 ft tall or 24 ft long may not be parked visibly from neighboring property (except temporary contractor or loading). Parking on streets is prohibited if garage or driveway space is available. Vehicles must be parked in the garage first, then driveway. No inoperable vehicles or vehicle storage (e.g., under covers) visible from outside. Garage doors must stay closed except when entering/exiting.
• Use restrictions: All lots are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, involve no customer visits, and generate no excessive traffic. No signs visible from neighboring property without approval. No antennas/satellite dishes without approval (subject to federal law). No permanent basketball goals; portable ones allowed per board rules. Window coverings facing the street must be white or beige.
• Assessments: Each lot pays the same regular assessment, set annually by the board. Special assessments require approval by 2/3 of voting members. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and a late fee, and the association can place a lien on the lot. The board may suspend voting rights for owners 15+ days delinquent.
