Barbados

What Barbados's governing documents say

Barbados is a single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. This document is the full rulebook for the community, binding all owners, residents, and their guests. It covers use restrictions, architectural control, parking, pets, and the association's power to levy assessments and enforce rules.

• Residential use & home businesses: Lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. Limited home businesses are allowed if not visible or noisy from outside, require no more than one non-resident employee, and meet other conditions.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 30 days; a written lease with a 'Crime Free Lease Addendum' must be provided to the association. Home exchanges and foreign student exchanges with nominal consideration are not considered leases. A transfer fee applies to leases.
• Architectural review: Any exterior modification visible from neighboring property must receive prior written approval from the Board or Architectural Committee. The review process requires a complete submission; the Board has 30 days after issuing an Architectural Submission Notice to approve or disapprove.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles (trucks over 3/4 ton, RVs, boats, etc.) may be parked visible from neighboring property except temporarily for loading/unloading or inside a garage. Parking on common area private roads is prohibited except in designated invitee spaces. The association may tow violating vehicles.
• Pets: A reasonable number of dogs, cats, or common household birds are allowed as pets, but they must be confined to the lot or kept on a leash (max 6 feet) when outside. Owners must immediately remove droppings from common areas and public yards. Noise or nuisance is prohibited, and the Board may restrict size and number in the future.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot pays an equal share of annual assessments, initially $1,500 per year. The annual assessment cannot increase more than 20% from the prior year without a majority member vote. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements. Delinquent assessments accrue interest ($1 per day) and late fees, and the association has a lien on the lot.
• Variances: The Board may grant variances from use restrictions if an owner faces unreasonable hardship or changed circumstances, and the variance does not substantially harm others. Variances are discretionary, must be in writing, and may be temporary or conditional.
• Gated community: The association may install entry gates with a two-thirds vote of members. Costs of installation would be funded by a special assessment or association funds; ongoing maintenance is a common expense.
