Desert Wind Estates

What Desert Wind Estates's governing documents say

Desert Wind Estates is a single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. All owners automatically become members of the Homeowners Association, which maintains common areas and enforces community rules. Every lot is subject to covenants, conditions, and restrictions that run with the land.

• Architectural review: No exterior construction or modification (including landscaping and painting) may begin without written approval from the Design Review Committee. The committee can deny plans based on purely aesthetic considerations, even if they comply with guidelines. An approval is deemed granted if no decision is made within 45 days of a complete application.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for an initial term of at least one month. The owner must notify the association at least 10 days before the lease starts, provide tenant contact info, and give the tenant copies of the governing documents. No subleasing is allowed.
• Parking & vehicles: No mobile homes, travel trailers, or boats may be visible from neighboring property. Vehicles exceeding 8 feet in height or 24 feet in length cannot be parked visibly, except temporarily. On-street parking is prohibited if garage or driveway space is available. Overnight contractor parking is not allowed. Inoperable or stored vehicles must not be visible.
• Pets: Only reasonable numbers of dogs, cats, and small household birds are allowed as pets (no commercial breeding). Dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) when outside the lot, and feces must be removed from common areas. The board may ban pets that have bitten or are a nuisance.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies regular and special assessments equally on all assessable lots. Regular assessments are adopted annually. Special assessments require approval by two-thirds of member votes (and developer approval during developer control). Delinquent assessments accrue interest and late fees; the association may record a lien and foreclose.
• Residential use & home businesses: All residences are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside the residence, involve no employee non-residents, no customer visits, and no extra traffic. Leasing is not considered a business.
• Signs & antennas: No signs visible from neighboring property without Design Review Committee approval, except for developer or association signs. Antennas and satellite dishes require written approval unless prohibited by law, and must comply with design guidelines even if approval is not required.
