Foothill Villas

What Foothill Villas's governing documents say

Foothill Villas is a condominium community of 30 units in Phoenix, AZ. You own your individual unit and share ownership of the common elements, with each unit having an equal 1/30 interest and one vote. The association maintains the common elements and most limited common elements (except the rear yard, which you maintain). This document is the full declaration of condominium that establishes the rules for all unit owners and occupants.

• Use & occupancy restrictions: Units are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed if they are not detectable from outside and comply with zoning; leasing a unit is not considered a business. No nuisances, hazardous materials, or illegal activity permitted.
• Pets: Only usual domestic household pets are allowed, no commercial breeding. Pets must be leashed when outside, and feces must be removed. No excessive noise or nuisance.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing and require the tenant to follow the declaration and rules. The owner must provide the association with lease dates, tenant names, and contact info at least 10 days before the lease starts. The owner is liable for any violations by the tenant or guests. No minimum lease term is stated.
• Parking & vehicles: No inoperable vehicles, trucks over 3/4 ton, boats, trailers, or recreational vehicles may be parked or stored except within a garage. Parking on driveways is limited to 48 hours without board approval. Guest parking in designated areas is also limited to 48 hours. The association may tow violating vehicles at the owner's expense.
• Exterior modifications & signs: Any modification to the exterior of a unit or within limited common elements (like the rear yard) requires prior written approval from the board. This includes changes to landscaping, structures, or paint. No signs (including 'For Sale') are allowed without board approval. Antennas and satellite dishes over 24 inches require approval.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are levied equally per unit (1/30 each). Special assessments require approval of two-thirds of votes. Late fees and interest apply if assessments are unpaid. A transfer fee, reserve contribution, and initial working capital fund may be charged upon purchase. Assessments are secured by a lien that is subordinate only to first mortgages and tax liens.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains all common elements and most limited common elements (including walls around rear yards). Unit owners are responsible for maintaining their own units and the rear yard area of their limited common elements (excluding walls). If an owner fails to maintain, the association may step in and bill the owner.
• Communication & access gate: An electronic access gate controls entry to the community. The association maintains it but does not guarantee security; owners assume risk of delayed emergency access. The association may enter a unit or limited common element for inspections or emergencies with 24-hour notice (except in emergencies).
