Desert Springs at Alta Mesa

What Desert Springs at Alta Mesa's governing documents say

Desert Springs At Alta Mesa is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association maintains the common areas and carries master insurance, funded by per-unit assessments. The community is part of the larger Alta Mesa master association, which may impose additional rules and fees.

• Residential use & home businesses: All units must be used exclusively for residential purposes. A limited home business is allowed only if it is not detectable from outside, complies with zoning, does not involve customer visits, and is consistent with residential character.
• Animals: No more than two domestic pets per unit, limited to dogs, cats, or household birds. Pets must be kept on leashes when outside, waste must be removed, and no pet structures visible from common areas or other units. The board may adopt additional rules on pet size/weight.
• Leasing & rentals: All leases must be in writing for a term of at least 30 days. No subleasing or assignment of leases is permitted. Owners must provide the association with lease dates, tenant names, and emergency contact info at least 10 days before the lease begins. Owners are liable for any rule violations by tenants.
• Vehicles & parking: No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be parked on the property except inside garages. Inoperable vehicles are prohibited. Parking is allowed only in designated spaces. The board may tow vehicles violating the rules at the owner's expense.
• Signs & exterior changes: No signs are allowed on exteriors without board approval, except a name/address sign up to 9x30 inches. Window coverings and patio furniture also require board approval. Any structural alteration or change visible from outside requires board approval plus approval from the master association's architectural committee.
• Assessments & fees: The association sets annual common expense assessments based on a budget. Special assessments require approval by two-thirds of voting unit owners (except for reconstruction after damage). Assessments are due as determined by the board; late payments incur interest and late fees. Each unit has an equal share (1/25th interest) of common expenses.
