Castle Chase

What Castle Chase's governing documents say

Castle Chase is a master-planned residential community in Scottsdale, Arizona, with individual lot ownership and a sub-association that maintains shared common areas and recreational facilities. All lot owners are also members of the larger McDowell Mountain Ranch master association and subject to both governing documents.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot; the association maintains designated common areas (including streets, recreational facilities, and exclusive common areas like Tracts A, B, D, E, F, G, and H). You're responsible for landscaping and pavement on your lot, including front setbacks and areas adjacent to common areas.
• Architectural review & exterior changes: The Design Review Committee must approve all exterior work before you start, including new construction, additions, color changes, landscaping, and any work that alters the property's appearance. This applies to buildings, fences, walls, driveways, pools, patios, and plantings.
• Pets: A reasonable number of domestic house and yard pets are allowed, but must be kept in a fenced yard or on a leash at all times and cannot create noise or nuisance. The Design Review Committee determines what counts as a reasonable number and whether a pet is causing problems.
• Nuisance restrictions & visible aesthetics: No weeds, dead trees, rubbish, or debris allowed; no loud noises or odors; trash must be in covered, approved containers not visible from neighboring properties. Exterior speakers, horns, and other sound devices (except security devices) are prohibited. Supplies and equipment during construction may only be stored in Committee-approved areas.
• Exterior accessories & signage: Antennas, satellite dishes, basketball backboards, and flagpoles cannot be visible from neighboring property without Committee approval. Identification signs are limited to two per detached home or one per attached home (max 72 square inches each); other signs require Committee approval.
• Party walls (shared walls with neighbors): If damage results from your act or failure to act, you must repair at your expense. If damaged by other causes, all adjoining owners share repair costs proportional to their frontage on the wall.
• Master Association membership: You are automatically a member of the McDowell Mountain Ranch master association and subject to its separate declaration, bylaws, and design guidelines in addition to Castle Chase rules. Master Association assessments and requirements are separate from Castle Chase assessments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not show specific assessment amounts, lease/rental restrictions, insurance requirements, or the complete rules for vehicles, parking, trucks, and boats (sections exist but text is cut off).
