Desert Dove II Condominiums

What Desert Dove II Condominiums's governing documents say

Desert Dove II Condominiums is a 2-unit condominium in Fountain Hills, Arizona (Maricopa County) — you own your individual unit's interior and share ownership of common elements and structural systems with the other unit owner. The association manages shared property and systems, funded by equal per-unit assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior, finished surfaces, roof, and slab. You also own and maintain exclusive-use limited common elements: the yard, patio, and utility meters adjoining your unit. The association maintains the structural systems and shared common elements; you are liable for damage to adjacent units or common elements caused by your negligence.
• Architectural review & alterations: Non-structural interior work requires no prior approval, but you remain liable for damage. Any structural alterations, external color/texture changes, or improvements visible from neighboring property require written approval from the adjacent unit owner before work begins.
• Use restrictions: Single-family residential use only — no business activities except keeping personal business records or taking calls. Prohibited: outdoor clotheslines, visible motor vehicle repair, inoperable vehicles, incinerators, solar panels or satellite dishes visible from the adjacent property (without written consent), and any unlawful or nuisance activities.
• Neighboring unit coordination: Because you share a party wall, several decisions require written consent from the adjacent unit owner: structural work, modifications visible from outside, and installation of visible exterior devices like solar or satellite equipment. If either unit owner becomes dissatisfied with association maintenance of common elements, they may notify the other owner to take over responsibility for shared areas contiguous to their unit.
• Insurance requirements: You must carry fire, casualty, and liability insurance on your unit for full replacement value. Joint liability coverage with the adjacent unit owner must total at least $500,000 minimum. You must provide proof of insurance to the adjacent unit owner.
• Assessments & common expenses: Common expenses are assessed equally between the two units (50% each), regardless of unit size. The board adopts an annual budget; the total common expense is then split per unit. Assessment liens are subordinate to mortgages.
• Trash & garbage: Garbage and trash must be placed in covered containers of a type, size, and style approved by the Town of Fountain Hills. No incinerators are allowed in any unit.
