Casa Hermosa

What Casa Hermosa's governing documents say

Casa Hermosa is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, with an HOA that enforces architectural and land-use restrictions. These covenants run with the land and bind all lot owners, covering home construction, maintenance, and use. The document includes the original 1972 CCRs and two amendments, and is intended for homeowners, buyers, and renters.

• Residential use only: Each lot is limited to one detached single-family dwelling, no more than two stories, with a minimum 2-car attached garage or carport. No business, church, or institutional use is allowed.
• Architectural review: All new construction and exterior changes (including fences and painting) require prior written approval from an Architectural Control Committee, which reviews design, location, materials, and harmony with surroundings.
• Minimum house size: The ground floor area (excluding garage, carport, and open porches) must be at least 1,600 square feet for any dwelling, whether one or two stories.
• Pets: Common household pets are allowed, but not for breeding or commercial purposes. No other animals, fish, or birds may be raised or kept.
• Rentals: Only an entire lot with its improvements may be rented, and then only to a single family. No portion of a lot may be rented separately.
• Signs: No billboards or commercial signs are allowed. A 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign no larger than 5 square feet is permitted, as is a name-and-address sign.
• Subdividing lots: Lots generally cannot be subdivided or conveyed in less than their full original dimensions, except as accomplished by the original developer (per a 1973 amendment).
• Utility lines underground: All gas, electric, telephone, water, sewer, cable, and other service lines on each lot must be placed underground, except for necessary above-ground equipment.
