What Carefree Shadows Association's governing documents say
Carefree Shadows is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (Carefree Shadows Association). This document is a Declaration of Restrictions that establishes the association's authority to levy service charges and require loans from property owners, with lien rights for nonpayment. It applies to owners of lots within the subdivision and adjacent areas that have adopted the same restrictions.
- Service charges & fees: Owners must pay Service Charges set by the Board of Directors. Lots without a dwelling (vacant or under construction) pay 40% of the charge assessed to improved lots. Charges are due as established by the Board.
- Loans to association: The association may require owners to loan it money for security or future expenses, apportioned like Service Charges. Loans are repayable within 10 years, may bear interest (6% after maturity), and can be offset against future Service Charges. Loan rights cannot be transferred separately from the property.
- Lien & enforcement: Unpaid Service Charges or loan requirements become a lien on the property. The association can foreclose this lien like a mortgage. Lien rights are subordinate to prior recorded first mortgages or deeds of trust except for amounts due after the lender takes possession.
- Amendments: Restrictions can only be amended with the approval of at least 75% of voting association members and written consent from any mortgage holder on affected property.
- What this document doesn't cover: This document does not address typical HOA rules such as architectural review, landscaping, parking, pets, leasing restrictions, age restrictions, or use of common areas. Those may be in other governing documents (e.g., full CC&Rs, rules and regulations).
