What Desert Winds's governing documents say
Desert Winds is a single-family home subdivision in Gilbert, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all lot owners and residents. It sets rules for use of property, assessments, architectural standards, and community living.
- What you own & maintain: Each lot is individually owned with a single-family home (minimum 1,490 sq ft interior). Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot, including walls on their property, landscaping, and exterior surfaces. The association maintains common areas and a swimming pool (shared with another community via easement).
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot; initially $474/year ($39.50/month), adjustable by the board up to 10% annually or by CPI increase. Special assessments require a 2/3 member vote. Assessments are a lien on the property if unpaid.
- Architectural review: All permanent buildings must have stucco exteriors and tile roofs. Exterior colors must be harmonious with the original developer's scheme. Any construction or modification requires prior written approval from the Declarant or architectural committee.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for the entire lot and dwelling, with a minimum term of 30 days (no transient/hotel use). All leases must be in writing and acknowledge they are subject to the CC&Rs. No short-term vacation rentals.
- Pets: Small domestic pets are allowed as household pets only (no commercial breeding). No structures for pets visible from neighboring properties. Excessive noise or nuisance is prohibited.
- Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages or driveways. No trucks over 1 ton, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be parked visible from neighboring property or streets. Inoperable vehicles and vehicle repairs are prohibited on lots.
- Use restrictions: All lots are limited to single-family residential use. Home-based businesses are allowed only if entirely indoors, not discernible from outside, and comply with laws. No signs except small for-sale/rent signs. No outdoor clotheslines visible from neighbors.
