Continental Villas West

What Continental Villas West's governing documents say

Continental Villas West is a townhome community in Phoenix, AZ where you own your lot and home, with party walls linking units. The homeowners association maintains common areas and some exterior elements, funded by assessments on each lot. These CC&Rs apply to all owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the building on it. You are responsible for interior maintenance, windows, doors, patios, rear fences and gates, termite control, and perimeter/patio walls on your lot. The association may provide exterior painting, roof repair, and landscaping of common areas if funds allow.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least one year. You must notify the association within 30 days of renting, provide the tenant with the CC&Rs and rules, and the lease must require tenant compliance. No more than 30% of all lots may be rented at any time; the board maintains a queue for those wanting to rent.
• Pets: Only traditional household pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) are allowed, and not for commercial breeding. Additional restrictions may be in the association's rules.
• Architectural review: Any new structure, fence, wall, or exterior change must be approved in writing by the board or an architectural committee. Approval is deemed given if no decision is made within 45 days.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No businesses except home businesses that don't create traffic, signs, noise, odors, or parking impacts. No temporary structures, trailers, or outbuildings as residences. No advertising signs except 'for rent' or 'for sale'. Clotheslines, garbage, and storage must be screened. No planting or gardening outside patios without approval.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board but cannot increase more than 5% per year without a vote. Special assessments require approval by two-thirds of members. Assessments are a lien on the lot. Late payments incur a $15 monthly charge plus interest and attorney fees.
• Party walls: Walls on lot lines built during original construction are party walls. Repair and maintenance costs are shared by the owners using the wall. Damage from fire or casualty must be restored by the abutting owners, with cost shared proportionally. Disputes go to arbitration.
