Century Plaza

What Century Plaza's governing documents say

Century Plaza is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common areas. This Declaration of Condominium sets out the rules for all owners, tenants, and occupants. The community includes both residential units (numbers 201–1411) and commercial units (100, 140, 160, 180).

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit and are responsible for its upkeep. The association maintains the common areas (hallways, pool, landscaping, etc.) and carries master liability insurance on common elements. You must provide your own homeowner's insurance for personal property and interior damage.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are based on each unit's square footage (percentage interest). Special assessments for capital improvements require approval of 2/3 of voting members, with a quorum of 60% of votes. A working capital fee equal to 1/6 of the then-current annual assessment is due from the initial buyer; subsequent buyers pay a transfer fee of the same amount. Late payments accrue interest at 18% per year.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing and the tenant must agree to comply with all condo documents. No minimum lease term is stated; however, any lease is subject to the declaration. The owner remains responsible for assessments and rule compliance.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets may be kept subject to association rules, but not in unreasonable numbers, for commercial purposes, or if they become a nuisance. No livestock or poultry.
• Parking & vehicles: Only functioning passenger vehicles may be parked in designated areas. No derelict vehicles, boats, campers, or wheeled toys (bicycles, tricycles) are allowed outside of an owner's garage. Visitor parking is permitted in designated spots.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change (building, fence, awning, antenna, etc.) requires prior written approval from the board or architectural committee. Plans are deemed approved if not acted upon within 30 days.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only (except designated commercial units). No advertising signs, business activities (except home offices compliant with zoning), clotheslines, or temporary structures. No exterior antennas without approval. Owners must keep garbage concealed and maintain patios.
• Commercial units: Commercial units (100, 140, 160, 180) are exempt from most residential use restrictions and architectural control. They are subject to separate rules and assessments based on a different expense category. Owners of commercial units cannot use residential common areas like the pool or elevators.
