What Dynamite Mountain Ranch's governing documents say

Dynamite Mountain Ranch Phase I is a standard single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions & Easements (CC&Rs) binds all lot owners and establishes the HOA's authority to maintain common areas, levy assessments, enforce architectural and use rules, and require alternative dispute resolution before litigation.

• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for 30 days or longer. A copy of the lease must be provided to the Association, and the lease must require the tenant to abide by the Declaration and all Association rules.
• Assessments (fees): Annual assessments start at a maximum of $40 per lot until Dec 31, 2002, then automatically increase annually by the greater of 5% or CPI change. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote of each class. A capital reserve fee of 1/6 of the annual assessment is due from initial purchasers. Transfer fees are set by the Board.
• Architectural review: All exterior alterations—including buildings, fences, walls, color schemes, landscaping—require prior written approval from a 3- or 5-member Architectural Committee. Plans not approved or disapproved within 45 days are deemed approved.
• Parking & vehicles: On-street parking is limited to short-term loading/unloading, guest visits (no overnight), or special events. No vehicle over one ton, mobile homes, trailers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be stored so as to be visible from neighboring property. Pickup trucks (≤1 ton) and mini motor homes (≤7 ft height, ≤18 ft length) are allowed if used regularly for transportation.
• Use restrictions (general): All lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial activity. Signs limited to one temporary real estate sign (max 5 sq ft) and one name/address sign (max 9" x 30"). No antennas visible from neighboring property.
