Dos Puertas

What Dos Puertas's governing documents say

Dos Puertas is a planned area development (single-family home HOA) in Phoenix, AZ. This restated declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions is the main rulebook for the 22 lots and common areas. It governs use, maintenance, assessments, and homeowner obligations.

• Single-family use & home businesses: Each lot is limited to single-family residential use. Business, professional, or commercial activities are prohibited, but a home office is allowed as long as it is not the primary use, does not generate excessive traffic, and does not disturb neighbors.
• Leasing & rentals: Only an entire lot may be rented (no partial rentals). All leases must be for at least six months. The apartment on Lot 22 is excluded from this restriction.
• Pets: Only commonly accepted household pets are allowed. No animals, livestock, fish, birds, or poultry may be kept for commercial purposes. Pets must not create a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks (including pickup trucks, but not SUVs), mobile homes, campers, boats, or similar vehicles may be parked visibly without written approval, except for temporary parking (max 24 consecutive hours, max 48 hours in any 7-day period). Inoperable vehicles and car repairs (except emergency) are prohibited. Motorcycles and go-carts are prohibited. Guest vehicles may not park on roadways for more than 48 hours in a 7-day period.
• Architectural review: All new construction, exterior changes, fences, walls, landscaping, antennas, and solar panels require prior written approval from the Board of Directors. Plans are deemed approved if not rejected within 30 days. The Board may deny approval for aesthetic or other reasons. Existing construction on Lot 22 as of December 1, 2001, is exempt; future changes on Lot 22 require approval that cannot be unreasonably withheld.
• Party walls: Walls built on lot dividing lines are party walls. Adjoining owners share repair costs if damage is from natural causes or wear. If damage is caused by one owner, that owner pays. Any modification requires written consent of the adjoining owner. Disputes go to arbitration.
• Assessments & liens: Each lot owner pays a monthly assessment (one share per lot; Lot 22 pays one share but has two votes). Assessments cover common area costs, insurance, taxes, and reserves. Late payments incur a $50 fee plus 18% annual interest. The Association has a lien on the lot for unpaid assessments and may foreclose.
• Common areas & maintenance: Common areas (Tracts A–F) include a pool and cabana on Tract A, plus garden and walking areas. The Association maintains common areas and may also maintain owners' lots at the owner's cost if the owner fails to do so after 30 days' notice. Each owner maintains their own lot.
