Citrus Glen

What Citrus Glen's governing documents say

Citrus Glen is a rural water/shared well association in Phoenix, AZ, not a typical homeowners association. Its governing document is a set of bylaws for a nonprofit corporation that manages a well, pump, and reservoir system to supply water to landowners in a specific section of Maricopa County. The rules bind owners of parcels within that area, who are automatically members.

• Purpose & common elements: The association's primary purpose is to maintain the well, pump, and reservoir system (the common elements) and equitably distribute water to members. The common elements are legally described well sites and reservoir parcels.
• Membership & dues: Each owner of a parcel in Section 11 of Township 2N Range 2W is a member. Annual membership dues are capped at $10 per owner plus $0.50 per 1/640 fractional share of the common area owned. Dues are nonrefundable and go into a Repair and Improvements Fund.
• Assessments & spending limits: The board may levy special assessments for major expenditures, based on fractional ownership, with a maximum of $10,000 per single purpose. The Repair and Improvements Fund cannot exceed $11,000 unless members approve a larger limit. The board can spend up to $10,000 on a single expenditure without member approval; beyond that requires a majority vote of members.
• Water & power administration: The board sets water and service costs and schedules operation of the common elements. When a owner leases their land, the board must notify the water district that the association is not responsible for the leasee's debts and may require a deposit (up to approx. $4,000) for power usage from the leasee.
• Leasing & power deposits: If an owner leases their land, the leasee must make a deposit to the association for power usage (capped at estimated monthly power bill, around $4,000). The board monitors power use to ensure it does not exceed the deposit.
• Lien authority: The board has authority to place a lien on a member's property for failure to meet any obligations set forth in the bylaws.
• What this document doesn't cover: These bylaws do not address typical HOA restrictions: no rules on architectural standards, landscaping, pets, parking, or short-term rentals. They focus solely on water rights, common element maintenance, and financial administration of the association.
