Baseline Ranch

What Baseline Ranch's governing documents say

Baseline Ranch is a single-family home community in Phoenix, AZ governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). All lot owners are automatically members of the Baseline Ranch Homeowners' Association and must pay annual assessments. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements sets rules for residential use, architectural changes, maintenance, and enforcement, binding all owners, residents, and tenants.

• Homeowners' Association & Assessments: All lot owners are members of the Baseline Ranch HOA. The maximum annual assessment per lot is $735.00 until January 1, 2002, thereafter increasing automatically by up to 10% or the Consumer Price Index. Assessments are due monthly ($49.00 initially) and can be increased by a two-thirds vote. Delinquent assessments accrue 12% annual interest and may result in a lien and foreclosure.
• Architectural Review: No exterior alterations, construction, or improvements (including color schemes and materials) may be made without prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee may adopt rules and must approve or disapprove plans within 60 days. Satellite dishes must be installed below the fence line to not be visible from neighboring property. Basketball standards visible from neighboring property are prohibited.
• Residential Use & Occupancy: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use. 'Single Family' means one individual, two individuals living together, or a group of related persons maintaining a common household. No business, trade, or non-residential use is allowed on a lot. Temporary buildings or vehicles cannot be used as residences.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles exceeding one ton, mobile homes, trailers, boats, or campers may be parked or stored where visible from neighboring property. Pickup trucks (≤1 ton, height ≤7 ft) and mini-motor homes (≤7 ft height, ≤18 ft length) are allowed if used for basic transportation. Inoperable vehicles or outdoor vehicle repair are prohibited. On-street parking is discouraged; vehicles should be kept in garages or driveways.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of generally recognized house or yard pets are permitted, kept as domestic pets and not for commercial purposes. No animal structures may be visible from neighboring property. Pets must not create unreasonable noise or nuisance.
• Leasing & rentals: Any lease must be in writing and expressly subject to the Declaration. The lot owner remains fully responsible for compliance by their tenant and guests. Owners must notify the association of any lease.
• Maintenance & Common Areas: The association maintains common areas (including landscaping, roads, and utilities) and carries insurance (liability ≥$1,000,000). Owners must maintain their lots free of weeds, debris, and in good repair. Party wall and fence repair obligations are shared between adjoining owners. No clotheslines visible from neighboring property are allowed without a fenced service yard.
• Enforcement & Penalties: The association or any owner may enforce the declaration via legal action. Monetary fines up to $200 per infraction and suspension of common area use for up to 60 days (renewable) may be imposed. Violating owners may also be charged for corrective actions taken by the association, with interest at 12% per annum.
