Estate Questa Tierra

What Estate Questa Tierra's governing documents say

Estate Questa Tierra is a planned area development in Phoenix, Arizona, with 22 individual single-family residential lots managed by the Estate Questa Tierra Improvement Association. Owners own their individual lots and dwellings, while the association maintains the private roads, recreational areas (including a swimming pool), and common facilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and single-family dwelling. The association maintains common roads (Tract A), recreational areas including a swimming pool (Tract B), and the community gate.
• Residential use & restrictions: Lots are restricted to residential use and single-family dwellings only. No commercial or business operations are allowed (except limited home-based work under strict conditions); no commercial vehicles, trailers, campers, or boats on streets or front yards; household pets only.
• Architectural review & new construction: All new buildings, fences, walls, structures, and alterations (including exterior painting) require Board approval; plans are deemed approved if not rejected within 30 days. All improvements must harmonize with existing community standards (block wall, stucco, tile roofs, iron gates), and licensed, bonded, and insured contractors are required.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be at least 6 months long (no short-term rentals). Board approval is required and is deemed granted if the Board does not respond within 15 days of your application.
• Landscaping & lot maintenance: Each lot must be landscaped and maintained per association rules. Trash, storage, and equipment must be screened from adjacent lots and streets; the association maintains rear lot setbacks.
• Assessments & dues: Owners pay a pro-rata share of common expenses (maintenance, insurance, property taxes, management), assessed per lot and due within 10 days of invoice (minimum annual invoicing). Unpaid amounts become a lien after 60 days.
• Home-based business: Limited business activities permitted in dwelling units if not visible or audible from outside, do not generate customer traffic or solicitation, and do not disrupt residential character.
• Party walls & shared structures: Walls between adjacent lots are governed by specific repair and cost-sharing rules. If damaged by an adjoining owner's actions, that owner bears repair costs; if damaged by other causes, both owners share costs equally. Modifications require written consent from the adjacent owner plus Board approval.
