Desert Crown

What Desert Crown's governing documents say

Desert Crown III is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). All lot owners are automatically members of the Association and must comply with this Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). The rules aim to maintain a quiet, attractive residential neighborhood and apply to all owners, residents, and guests.

• Architectural review: Any improvement visible from neighboring property—including new construction, exterior alterations, and color changes—requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans must be submitted for review; if not approved or disapproved within 30 days, approval is deemed granted (subject to complete submission).
• Use restrictions: All residential units must be used exclusively as a single-family residence. No trade or business may be conducted on any lot. Minimum floor area for a single-story home is 2,100 square feet (excluding garage, porch, etc.), and each home must have at least a two-car garage (no carports).
• Pets: No more than four (4) common household pets (e.g., dogs, cats, birds) may be kept per lot. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot unless on a leash, and must not create a nuisance or excessive noise.
• Parking & vehicles: Motor vehicles owned by residents must be parked in the garage if space permits; otherwise, they may be parked in the driveway if under 7 feet tall and 18 feet long. Boats, RVs, and trailers over 7 feet tall or 40 feet long may only be parked temporarily (24 consecutive hours, max 72 hours per week). No inoperable or visible vehicle repairs allowed from neighboring property.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify a minimum lease term or require association approval for rentals, but leases are subject to all use restrictions. Lessees have the right to use common areas during the lease term.
• Assessments: The Association levies annual assessments and may impose special assessments. Unpaid assessments create a lien on the lot and can result in suspension of common area use (excluding streets) if more than 15 days delinquent.
• Signs & antennas: No signs visible from neighboring property (including satellite dishes, for-sale signs) are allowed without Architectural Committee approval. One approved for-sale or for-rent sign is permitted.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the full CC&Rs document; it does not contain detailed rules on amenities (e.g., pool, clubhouse), specific assessment amounts (the annual amount was left blank), or enforcement procedures beyond what is stated. Additional rules may exist in the Association's bylaws or rules.
