Clarendon Manor

What Clarendon Manor's governing documents say

Clarendon Manor is a single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. You own your lot and the house on it; the association maintains certain common areas and may also maintain parts of your lot (like landscape easements or perimeter walls). The rules are enforced by an architectural committee and the HOA board. This document applies to all homeowners, residents, and tenants.

• Architectural review: Any improvement visible from neighboring property requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. This includes exterior color changes, fences, sheds, landscaping, and even basketball hoops. The committee has broad discretion and may charge a review fee. If no decision within 60 days of complete application, approval is deemed given.
• Pets: Up to 3 dogs or 3 cats, but no more than 4 total (dogs + cats). Pets must be confined to your lot; dogs outside must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet. No structures for animals may be visible from neighboring property. Nuisance animals may be removed by the board.
• Parking & vehicles: Operable vehicles may be parked in the garage or driveway if they fit (max 7 ft height, 20 ft length). No overnight street parking beyond 24 consecutive hours, and no vehicle may be stored on the property (covered or parked >24 hours or >72 hours in 7 days). Inoperable vehicles or repairs visible from neighboring property are prohibited. The board can tow violating vehicles.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must cover the entire lot (no partial rentals). There is no stated minimum lease term in the excerpt, but home-based businesses and short-term rentals are restricted by the residential use rules. Tenants must comply with all rules, and owners are responsible for their tenants' violations.
• Residential use & businesses: Lots are for residential use only. Home-based businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, conform to zoning, involve infrequent visitors, and are consistent with residential character (no door-to-door solicitation).
• Signs: Only one 'For Sale' sign (size/color/design approved by Architectural Committee) and required legal signs are allowed. Political, commercial, and 'For Rent' signs visible from neighboring property are prohibited without prior written approval.
• Assessments: Annual assessments fund common expenses. Maximum initial annual assessment per lot is $2,700 (as of first conveyance), increasing annually by up to 10% or CPI increase, whichever is greater. Special assessments require majority member vote. Transfer fee may also apply upon sale.
• Maintenance responsibilities: You maintain your lot, house, landscaping, and certain common areas adjacent to your lot (e.g., between lot boundary and curb). The association maintains designated 'Areas of Association Responsibility' (common areas, easements, etc.). If your actions damage common areas, you pay repair costs. Failure to maintain can result in the association stepping in and charging you.
