Bel Canto

What Bel Canto's governing documents say

Bel Canto is a single-family home community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). All lots are subject to covenants, conditions, and restrictions that run with the land, binding owners, residents, and tenants. The HOA maintains common areas and enforces rules on property use, appearance, and conduct.

• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement visible from neighboring property (including landscaping, paint, fences, and additions) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee. Plans must be submitted; approval is deemed denied after 60 days if no response. The committee may charge a fee and require a bond.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for a term of at least 30 days, and include a clause binding the tenant to the governing documents. Owners must provide tenant names and contact info to the HOA before the lease starts. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are prohibited.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common household pets are allowed. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot, and dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off the lot. Pets cannot create a nuisance or excessive noise. Pet enclosures visible from neighboring property require ARC approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial vehicles, trucks, boats, RVs, and trailers cannot be parked visible from neighboring property except in garages. Street parking is limited to short-term guest parking (no overnight). Inoperable vehicles and vehicle repairs visible from neighboring property are prohibited. All-terrain vehicles and motorized scooters are banned within the community.
• Signs: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited without ARC approval. Exceptions include required legal signs, political signs (size/number regulated), approved residence identification signs, and one 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign (size/material/color regulated).
• Residential use & businesses: Lots must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Home-based businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, involve no client visits or solicitation, comply with zoning, and do not create a nuisance. Leasing a unit is not considered a business.
• Nuisances & noise: No loud noise, music, or vibrations that disturb neighbors are permitted. Exterior speakers are prohibited except for security. High-intensity lighting that spills onto other lots is not allowed. Owners must keep lots clean and free of debris and odors.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not include specific HOA fee amounts, pet limits in number, age restrictions, or any amenity descriptions (e.g., pool, clubhouse). It is limited to general covenants, use restrictions, and governance structure. Current fee schedules or rules may exist in separate documents.
