Baseline Mountain Ranch

What Baseline Mountain Ranch's governing documents say

Baseline Mountain Ranch is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). Owners own their lot and detached dwelling; the association maintains common areas and enforces the rules in this Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). This document applies to all homeowners in the subdivision.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and detached dwelling unit (house, garage, etc.). You are responsible for interior and exterior maintenance, including plumbing, wiring, roof, windows, paint, and landscaping in your public yard (must be landscaped within 90 days). The association maintains all common areas (Tracts A–L) and 'Areas of Association Responsibility' (e.g., certain rights-of-way).
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied on each lot at a uniform rate (with a 20% annual cap without member vote). Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. Late payments incur a $15 or 10% late charge and 12% annual interest. A $200 transfer fee is due on resale (except Declarant). New buyers pay a working capital fee equal to 1/4 of the annual assessment.
• Occupancy & use: Each dwelling must be used by a 'Single Family' — defined as persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to four unrelated adults living as a common household. No commercial or business uses are allowed on lots.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes to your lot or dwelling — including landscaping, fences, walls, ancillary structures (sheds, gazebos, etc.), and paint — must be approved in advance by the Architectural Committee. Plans must meet committee guidelines; public yard landscaping must include at least one 15-gallon non-deciduous tree.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial and recreational vehicles (e.g., large trucks, boats, RVs) are generally prohibited from long-term parking unless stored in a designated, screened area. 'Family vehicles' (cars, small pickups under 1 ton, vans, etc.) are allowed. Small motor homes (under 8 ft height, 18 ft length) may be considered family vehicles with advance approval.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration includes a section on leasing (Section 8.13), but the specific terms (minimum lease duration, restrictions, etc.) are not fully legible in this excerpt. Check the complete document for details.
• Pets: The declaration includes a section on 'Animals' (Section 8.7), but the specific rules (limits on number, types, etc.) are not fully legible in this excerpt. Check the complete document for details.
• Dispute resolution: Before suing, owners and the association must follow a multi-step process: notice, mediation (with AAA or other rules), and arbitration. Punitive damages are prohibited. Certain claims against the Declarant must be brought within one year after Declarant control ends.
