Brandywine Terrace

What Brandywine Terrace's governing documents say

Brandywine Terrace is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). All homeowners are automatically members and must pay assessments for common area maintenance and other HOA expenses. The CC&Rs restrict land use to single-family residential, limit leasing to 30-day minimum terms, require architectural approval for exterior changes, and regulate vehicles, pets, and signs.

• Use restrictions: Lots are limited to single-family residential use. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, and do not generate visitor traffic or nuisances. Leasing is permitted for the entire unit with a written lease of at least 30 days; a copy must be provided to the Association.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot; the 2004 maximum was $735, with annual increases tied to CPI or 10%, whichever is greater (max 20% per year without owner approval). Special assessments require 2/3 vote. A transfer fee is charged upon sale, and the first purchaser contributes 1/6 of the annual assessment to reserves.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles over 1 ton, RVs, boats, or trailers may be parked visible from neighboring property except for regular-use trucks (≤1 ton, ≤7ft height) or mini motorhomes (≤7ft height, ≤18ft length). On-street parking is limited to short-term loading, guest visits, and special events. Inoperable or unsightly vehicles are prohibited.
• Animals & pets: Dogs, cats, and common household pets are allowed but must not create a nuisance. Pets must be kept in fenced yards or on leashes. No commercial breeding or unreasonable numbers. Pet structures must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, alterations, and color changes require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans must be submitted; if no decision within 45 days, approval is deemed given. The Committee can charge a review fee. Temporary structures (e.g., construction trailers) are allowed for Declarant/contractors.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire lot and residence, with a minimum term of 30 days. A copy of each lease must be provided to the Association, and the lease must require tenants to comply with the CC&Rs.
• Signs: Only the following signs are allowed: Declarant’s advertising signs, one temporary 'for sale/for rent' sign (≤5 sq ft), required legal signs, one residential identification sign (≤9x30 inches), and signs approved by the Architectural Committee.
• Nuisances & maintenance: No noxious or offensive activities, loud noises, or unsanitary conditions. Landscaping must be installed within 6 months of purchase and maintained weed-free. The Association may enter lands to cure violations and charge the owner, with liens for non-payment.
