What Berryessa's governing documents say
Berryessa is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that bind all lot owners. It outlines property use rules, mandatory assessments, and HOA powers, including architectural control and common area maintenance.
- Assessments & fees: Each lot pays an annual assessment, initially capped at $75. The board can increase it up to 5% per year without a vote; increases above 5% require a 2/3 vote of owners. Special assessments for capital improvements also need 2/3 approval. Assessments are equal per lot and create a lien if unpaid, with 6% annual interest and late charges.
- Dwelling & use restrictions: Each lot may have only one single-family dwelling (minimum 800 sq ft ground floor, excluding garage/patio). No business activities allowed, but leasing as a dwelling is permitted. Temporary structures, mobile homes, and trailers are prohibited. All new construction must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee.
- Architectural control: Any exterior change, including buildings, fences, landscaping, signs, or additions, requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted; if not acted on within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
- Vehicles & parking: No abandoned, inoperable, or commercial vehicles may be stored visible from other lots. Boats, motorhomes, trailers, and large trucks are generally prohibited except for temporary deliveries (48-hour limit). Overnight street parking is not allowed. Visitor RVs may park on driveways for up to 48 hours.
- Pets & animals: Only reasonable numbers of common household pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets only (no breeding). Pets must be leashed when off the owner's lot, and owners must clean up waste immediately.
- Landscaping & maintenance: Owners must landscape their front yard within 6 months of occupancy, with grass or desert landscaping approved by the committee. The HOA maintains front yard irrigation and landscaping. Dead vegetation must be removed within 30 days.
- What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include any age restrictions (55+), rental duration minimums (e.g., no 30-day minimum), or specific rules about short-term rentals. It also does not address fees for amenities like the pool and spa beyond general assessments.
