Glencurt One Townhouse Association

What Glencurt One Townhouse Association's governing documents say

Glencourt One is a townhouse community in Maricopa County, Arizona (1972 declaration), where you own your townhouse unit and automatically become a member of an association that maintains common elements. The declaration establishes uniform assessments, architectural review requirements, insurance obligations, and use restrictions for all owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhouse interior and are responsible for upkeep and maintenance of your interior, patio, and all utility fixtures from where lines enter your unit's exterior walls. The association maintains the building exterior, roofs, landscaping, common grounds, parking areas, streets, and recreational facilities.
• Membership & voting rights: You automatically become a member with one vote per lot upon purchase; membership and voting terminate upon sale. The builder initially holds a Class B membership with 3 votes per lot, which converts to Class A membership when either Class A votes equal Class B votes or 2 years elapse. Voting rights are suspended if you are 15 or more days behind on assessments or in default.
• Annual assessments & fees: Uniform annual assessments are levied per lot at $360 initially, covering common area maintenance, recreational facilities, reserve fund, liability insurance (minimum $300,000), and other board-determined expenses; assessments can increase annually up to the Consumer Price Index without a vote, or above CPI with a 2/3 member vote for consecutive 2-year periods. Unpaid assessments accrue 8% annual interest after 20 days and become a lien on your property, enforceable by association foreclosure.
• Architectural review & approval: All plans and specifications for any improvement (building, fence, wall, structure, or antenna) must be submitted to the association for written approval before construction; the association can deny approval for aesthetic or other reasons considering harmony with surrounding buildings. Silence by the association for 30 days after submission constitutes approval, and exterior additions, replacements, alterations, or repainting also require prior approval.
• Party walls & shared responsibilities: Walls on the dividing line between units are party walls; if one owner's negligent or willful act damages it, that owner pays for repair; if damage results from other causes (including wear and tear), both adjoining owners share repair costs equally. Any modification requiring extension or alteration of a party wall requires the adjoining owner's written consent, and disputes are resolved by three-arbiter arbitration or Superior Court decision.
• Insurance requirements: The association obtains and pays for insurance on all townhouses and common elements covering full replacement cost (fire, hazard) and public liability insurance (minimum $300,000); owners must provide proof of adequate coverage or the association will obtain insurance at the owner's expense (8% interest after 20 days, becomes a lien). Owners are individually responsible for homeowner's liability, theft, and personal property insurance.
• Use restrictions & rules: Each lot is limited to single-family townhouse use (maximum 2 stories); no business, commercial, religious, or institutional use is allowed; household pets are permitted; and the entire lot may be rented to a single family. Trucks, trailers, boats, and campers require prior written approval each year; each lot needs at least two lidded 20-gallon garbage containers; and utility lines must be underground.
• Damage liability & repair: If you or your guests damage common elements or adjacent property, the association can repair it and you repay actual costs; if you damage your exterior, you must repair within 30 days or the association will repair at your expense (8% interest after 10 days delinquent). Repair charges become liens on your property, enforceable by association foreclosure.
