Contour Condominiums

What Contour Condominiums's governing documents say

Contour Condominiums is a standard condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit and share the building and common elements, which the association maintains. This document is a partial excerpt of the full condominium declaration, so some rules (e.g., pets, specific leasing terms) may not be fully captured here.

• Unit ownership & boundaries: You own the interior finished surfaces of your unit, including the drywall, flooring, and interior partitions. The association owns and maintains all common elements (e.g., building structure, garage, landscaping). The undivided common element interest and common expense liability are equal among all 111 units.
• Use & occupancy: Units are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not visible or detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve no foot traffic or solicitation, and do not create a nuisance or hazard.
• Alterations & improvements: Nonstructural alterations inside your unit do not require board approval, but structural changes and any changes visible from outside (e.g., enclosing a balcony) require prior written board approval. You must obtain permits and use licensed contractors. The association can stop non-compliant work.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking spaces and storage rooms in the garage are initially allocated to the developer (Declarant) who may issue irrevocable licenses to owners. There are also visitor parking spaces (above-grade and in the garage). The declaration prohibits trailers, campers, boats (except as allowed) and provides for towing of unauthorized vehicles.
• Pest control & association access: The association has an easement to enter units for pest control with at least 7 days notice (except emergencies) and may require temporary relocation at the owner's expense. The association may also enter units for inspection, maintenance, or emergencies with reasonable notice.
• Assessments & finances: Regular assessments are levied equally per unit. Special assessments, enforcement assessments, individual expense assessments, and user fee assessments are also possible. The association maintains a working capital fund and reserve contributions. Nonpayment can result in a lien and collection costs.
• Insurance & security disclaimer: The association carries master insurance (fire, casualty, liability) paid by assessments. The unit owner must carry their own insurance for unit contents and improvements. The community may have an access gate, but the association, its agent, and the Declarant are not insurers or guarantors of security; owners assume all risk.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing of a unit is permitted and is not considered a business. However, the excerpt does not specify a minimum lease term or any rental caps. (Full declaration may contain additional rules not included in this partial document.)
