Gilead at South Mountain

What Gilead at South Mountain's governing documents say

Gilead at South Mountain is a single-family detached home community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all owners, residents, and their guests. It sets rules for use, maintenance, and architectural standards to protect property values and community character.

• Architectural review: Any exterior change to your lot or home — including landscaping, painting, fences, or structures — requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Submit detailed plans and a fee; the committee has 45 days to decide.
• Pets: No more than two dogs per lot. Other common household pets (cats, birds, etc.) are allowed but not for commercial purposes. Pets must be leashed (≤6 feet) off your lot, and you must immediately remove droppings. No pet structures visible from neighboring properties. The Board may further restrict pet size or number.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners have the right to lease their home, but the lease must be in writing for a term of at least 180 days (6 months). The lease must subject all occupants to the HOA rules. Short-term rentals (less than 6 months) are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial vehicles (trucks over 1 ton, RVs, boats, trailers, etc.) may not be parked visibly on lots or common area except temporarily (≤24 hours) or inside an enclosed garage. Family vehicles (cars, SUVs, minivans, pickups under 1 ton, etc.) must be parked in the garage unless full; guest parking on private roads is limited to 48 hours per 7-day period. No vehicle repairs or storage of inoperable vehicles outside the garage.
• Signs: No signs visible from neighboring property except: signs required by law, one standard realty 'for sale' or 'for lease' sign, an alarm company sign near the front door, and residential identification signs ≤6×12 inches. Political, commercial, and other signs are not allowed.
• Business use: Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, do not generate regular customer traffic, employ no more than one non-resident employee, and comply with zoning. Leasing your home is not considered a business.
• Gated community & security: The community has entry gates; the Association maintains them. Gates do not guarantee security, and neither the Declarant nor the Association is liable for trespasser harm or emergency response delays.
