Gilbert and Pecos Well Owners Association

What Gilbert and Pecos Well Owners Association's governing documents say

Gilbert and Pecos Well Owners Association is an unsubdivided residential community in Phoenix where owners hold fee title to individual parcels but are bound by mutual covenants requiring single-family construction, maintaining property standards, sharing road and water infrastructure costs, and paying annual assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual parcel in fee simple on unsubdivided land. You must keep your property in good, clean, finished condition free of weeds, refuse, and unsightly objects; the Association can enter and correct violations at your expense if you don't within 10 days of notice.
• Residential use only: Property is restricted to single-family, on-site-constructed homes only—no manufactured homes. Minimum 1,800 livable square feet with a two-car garage required.
• Roof requirements: Roofs must use wooden shake, concrete, slate, clay tile, or pueblo style lines—no exposed composition shingles or rolled roofing permitted.
• Water service & restrictions: The Association provides water service and meters each lot. You cannot fill or refill swimming pools (evaporation replacement only) or use bubbler/flood irrigation for trees; drip irrigation is allowed. Monthly water use is billed separately; nonpayment can result in water disconnection and suspension of voting rights.
• Road maintenance & costs: The community shares a private gravel road; all maintenance costs split equally among owners. Repairs require approval from all parties and joint funding—only minimal improvements (gravel, grading) on an as-needed basis are expected.
• Annual & special assessments: Annual assessments require majority member approval and are based on the Association's costs; if no budget passes, the prior year's amount plus up to 20% is levied. Special assessments up to 20% of the annual budget can be imposed without a vote; larger ones require member approval and are payable over up to 10 years. Late payments incur a penalty of the greater of $15 or 10% of the unpaid amount, plus 18% annual interest.
• Voting rights: Each owner gets one vote for every 1/10 acre (or majority fraction) of their lot. Voting rights are suspended if water use assessments fall delinquent.
• Duration & amendment: The restrictions run for 40 years from the 1998 recording and can be amended or terminated only by written consent of owners holding 75% of the total property acreage.
