What Desert Star's governing documents say
Desert Star is a single-family home subdivision in Peoria, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (the Desert Star Homeowners' Association). All property owners are automatically members and must comply with detailed use restrictions, pay assessments, and adhere to architectural guidelines. This document is the full rulebook for the community.
- Architectural review: All exterior changes, including landscaping, paint, fences, and structures, require prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee. The committee also sets architectural guidelines and can grant variances.
- Pets: Only a reasonable number of common house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets only. Pets must be leashed or fenced, noise must not be a nuisance, and owners must immediately remove droppings. No commercial breeding.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, subject to all governing documents, and for a term of at least 30 days. Owners must notify the association of leases and remain liable for tenant compliance.
- Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages, carports, or designated areas. No trucks over 1 ton, campers, boats, or trailers may be visible from neighboring property. Street parking is limited to 48 hours per week.
- Use restrictions & home businesses: Lots are for residential use only. Limited home businesses are allowed if incidental, not detectable outside, and limited to 25% of dwelling space; no employees other than residents, and hours 7 AM–9 PM.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board, initially capped at $500 per lot (until 2002) and can increase up to 20% yearly without owner vote. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. Delinquent assessments become a lien on the property.
- Animals & pests: No animals other than domestic pets are allowed. Owners must prevent conditions that breed diseases or insects, and must remove pet droppings immediately.
- Maintenance responsibilities: Owners maintain landscaping on their lots, adjacent public right-of-way areas, and driveways. The association maintains common areas, perimeter walls (except painting facing the lot), and certain party walls.
