Continental Terrace

What Continental Terrace's governing documents say

Continental Terrace is a single-family home HOA in Chandler, AZ, governed by a full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). This document binds all homeowners in the community and covers rules for property use, architectural review, assessments, and maintenance of common areas.

• Property use & restrictions: All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. No commercial activities, home businesses, or further subdivision are allowed. Temporary structures (tents, trailers) cannot be used as residences.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee must approve any exterior changes, including buildings, fences, walls, color schemes, and landscaping. The committee has 30 days to respond; if no response, approval is deemed given.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles over 3/4 ton, boats, trailers, campers, or aircraft may be parked visible from neighboring property or streets. Pickup trucks under 3/4 ton and mini motor homes under 7 feet high and 18 feet long are allowed if used for basic transportation. Inoperable vehicles and major repairs are prohibited on lots, streets, or common areas.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted for single-family use, subject to all declaration provisions. No minimum lease term is specified. Separate cantinas (detached rooms) cannot be leased separately from the main residence.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot, with a maximum initial amount of $224.00 per lot (as of 1984). Increases up to 5% or the CPI rate can be made without a vote; larger increases require a 2/3 vote of each membership class. Special assessments for capital improvements also require 2/3 approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 10% interest and become a lien on the property.
• Pets & animals: Only a reasonable number of common house pets or yard pets are allowed, kept solely for domestic purposes. No commercial breeding. The board can determine if an animal is a nuisance or if the number is reasonable.
• Signs & antennas: Only one name/address sign (up to 9" x 30") and temporary for-sale/rent signs (up to 5 sq. ft.) are permitted. Antennas and satellite dishes must not be visible from the front of the lot or extend above the roofline.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners must maintain their lawns, plantings, and buildings in good condition. The association maintains common areas (lawns, roads, etc.) and may enter a lot to perform maintenance if the owner fails to do so after notice; costs are charged to the owner.
