Corte Sierra

What Corte Sierra's governing documents say

Corte Sierra is a single-family HOA community in Maricopa County, Arizona (Units I & II), where owners purchase individual lots and homes and the association manages common areas and enforces extensive architectural and design rules. Important environmental disclosures: the community is built on a former solid waste landfill site, is adjacent to a sand and gravel operation, and is within proximity to Luke Air Force Base with possible aircraft overflights—all conditions that warrant independent investigation by buyers.

• Architectural & exterior review: All exterior work—construction, additions, repairs, alterations, color schemes, grading, and landscaping—requires prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. Any changes or deviations from approved plans must also be approved in writing.
• Roofing materials & visible equipment restrictions: Pitched roofs visible from neighboring property must be clay or concrete tile. No solar panels, HVAC equipment, heating/cooling units, or other structures may be installed on roofs; no such equipment or structures may be placed anywhere on a lot if visible from neighboring property.
• Landscaping requirements & deadlines: Owners must complete landscaping of all disturbed areas within 90 days of the home's certificate of occupancy, subject to Design Review Committee approval. Hedges cannot exceed 3 feet in height if located within the front yard setback. If landscaping is not completed on time, the association may complete it at the owner's expense, with costs added to the owner's assessments.
• Underground utilities: All electrical, telephone, television, and radio lines and conduits must be placed underground, except for lines originally installed by the Declarant or those specifically approved by the Design Review Committee.
• Sign restrictions: No commercial, political, or general signs visible from neighboring property are permitted, except for address numbers on the curb or dwelling, one 'For Sale' or 'For Lease' sign per residence (maximum 500 square inches, set back at least 6 feet from the street), and legally required signs.
• Environmental hazards & disclosures: The property formerly contained a closed solid waste landfill (Old Town Dump); de minimis debris may remain in remediated areas. The site is adjacent to a sand and gravel operation (potential odors, dust, insects, noise) and located within proximity to Luke Air Force Base with possible aircraft overflights. Buyers are encouraged to investigate these conditions independently.
• Common area use & assessments: Owners have easement rights to use common areas, subject to association rules and Design Review Committee authority. The association may suspend voting rights and common area access for delinquent assessments; regular, special, and capital reserve assessments are levied per lot (specific amounts not provided in this excerpt).
