Dave Brown North

What Dave Brown North's governing documents say

Dave Brown North is a single-family residential subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by the Northporte Homeowners' Association. You own your individual lot and dwelling; the HOA maintains common areas and enforces uniform design and maintenance standards funded by annual assessments. The community has strict rules about exterior appearance, vehicles, and construction—prospective buyers should review the architectural review requirements and vehicle storage restrictions before committing.

• Dwelling requirements: Single-family residences only, not to exceed two stories and a minimum of 700 square feet of livable area (excluding porches, garages, carports). No mobile homes, trailers, apartment houses, or business/professional use allowed.
• Architectural review & construction: All new construction, alterations, and exterior repairs—including color, design, landscaping, fencing, HVAC units, solar panels, and satellite dishes—require advance written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Approval decisions are final; the Committee has 30 days to respond (or approval is deemed granted). Dwellings must be completed within one year of construction start and landscaping within 120 days of occupancy.
• Vehicles & parking: Motor vehicles must be stored in a garage or approved enclosure and concealed from public view, except passenger cars, vans, and pickup trucks (3/4 ton or less) in daily use with current plates. No RVs, boats, trailers, motorcycles (when parked), or non-motorized vehicles can be stored on the property unless in an enclosed garage. Vehicles parked in a driveway cannot remain for more than one week without being moved or garaged; the Association can tow violating vehicles and assess costs as a lien.
• Pets: A reasonable number of household pets (dogs, cats, similar) are allowed per local zoning, but must be leashed at all times when outside and cannot create a nuisance. The Board of Directors has sole discretion to determine what constitutes a 'reasonable' number and whether a specific pet is acceptable.
• Lot maintenance & yard appearance: Grass and weeds must be kept cut and neat; trash must be stored in covered sanitary containers out of public view. Clotheslines visible from other properties are prohibited. No dumping or accumulation of materials allowed. The Association can enforce violations by giving 14 days' written notice, then 14 days to cure, after which the Association can perform the work and assess the cost against the owner.
• Fences & landscaping: All landscaping requires pre-approval by the Architectural Control Committee. Front-yard hedges and fences are limited to 3 feet high; side and rear fences/hedges cannot exceed 6 feet. Fences must be constructed of ornamental iron, wood, or masonry—no chain-link without approval.
• Assessments & HOA fees: Annual maintenance assessments are charged per lot, beginning at a maximum of $60/year and increasing up to 10% annually without a vote of the membership. Increases above 10% require a two-thirds vote. Unpaid assessments bear 18% annual interest and create a lien on the property; the Association can pursue legal action or foreclosure for delinquent amounts.
