Cactus Gates

What Cactus Gates's governing documents say

Cactus Gates is a deed-restricted single-family residential community in Scottsdale, Arizona. As a lot owner, you own your property but must follow restrictions on construction, landscaping, pets, vehicles, and use; the community association, funded by owner assessments, maintains common areas and enforces these rules through architectural review and financial liens.

• Leasing & rentals: Rentals must cover the entire lot, run for a minimum of one year, and require prior written approval from the association board. Leases may be terminated by the board at any time with 30 days' notice.
• Construction & architectural review: Any construction, modification, or alteration requires prior written approval from the Design Review Board. Minimum setbacks are 20 feet (front), 10 feet (side), and 20 feet (rear; 35 feet north of Lacksput Drive); individual lots must be at least 20,000 square feet.
• Landscaping: Landscaping must comply with the City's zoning ordinance, including native plant and cactus preservation requirements, and requires Design Review Board approval.
• Pets & animals: Household pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) in reasonable numbers are allowed for domestic purposes only; pets must be restrained at all times and cannot leave waste in common areas or neighboring properties.
• Vehicles & parking: Vehicles can only be parked in garages, carports, or designated parking areas—never on streets except temporarily with board approval. Vehicles cannot remain on a lot in a stored, neglected, or abandoned condition outside an enclosed garage.
• Residential use only: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use; no commercial business or enterprise is permitted except home occupations as defined by local zoning ordinance.
• Assessments & liens: Owners pay regular assessments (for operations/maintenance), special assessments (for owner-caused damage or violations), and capital improvement assessments (for facility upgrades). Assessments create a lien on your property; late payments accrue interest at 18% annually (or 1% above Citibank prime if higher) plus attorney fees.
• Enforcement & violations: The association can enter your property to remedy violations and charge you the costs plus fines as special assessments. Voting rights are automatically suspended if assessments are 15 or more days delinquent.
