Desert Valley

What Desert Valley's governing documents say

Desert Valley is a single-family home community in Mesa, Arizona, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). These rules bind all lot owners and occupants, covering use, maintenance, and appearance of your property.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association maintains common areas, perimeter walls (but not their interior side), and certain landscaped areas within rights-of-way.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change — including paint, fences, sheds, landscaping, or solar panels — must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee. Requests are deemed approved only if resubmitted and still unanswered after 30 days.
• Parking & vehicles: No recreational vehicles, boats, or commercial trucks may be parked where visible from neighboring property. All vehicles must be parked in garages or on concrete driveways. Guest parking on streets is limited to 10 hours.
• Pets: Only common household pets (dogs, cats) are allowed, in reasonable numbers. They must be kept indoors or in fenced yards, cannot be bred commercially, and offspring must be removed by 16 weeks.
• Leasing & rentals: Only entire living units may be leased, and leases must be in writing and subject to all HOA rules. Transient or hotel use is prohibited. Owners must notify the association of lease start and end dates and tenant names.
• Landscaping requirements: Front yards must be landscaped within 120 days of purchase. Minimum: two 24-inch box trees (or one 36-inch box tree), five 5-gallon shrubs, and fifteen 1-gallon shrubs. Failure results in fines starting at $250 after 180 days, then $50/day after 210 days.
