Goldman Ranch Homeowner's Association

What Goldman Ranch Homeowner's Association's governing documents say

Goldman Ranch is a single-family residential HOA in Phoenix, Arizona — you own your lot and house outright, but must follow the association's architectural and use restrictions, and pay annual assessments to maintain the community's common areas, insurance, and amenities. Decisions about significant changes to your lot (landscaping, fencing, window colors, signage) require advance approval from an architectural committee.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it in fee-simple title; you're responsible for maintaining your landscaping, lot improvements, and fences to association-approved standards. The association maintains all common areas, landscaping in dedicated right-of-ways, and carries the master liability insurance.
• HOA assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $10 per lot in the first year and automatically increase by the greater of 5% or the Consumer Price Index each year, unless the board votes with declarant approval and 2/3 of lot owners to raise them higher. Late payments carry 12% annual interest plus a 25% late fee (minimum $25). Assessments become a lien on your property and can be foreclosed if unpaid for more than 30 days.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your home, but the lease must be at least 30 days long (no short-term or vacation rentals), in writing, and made subject to the CC&Rs — you must provide the association a copy before the lease begins.
• Pets: Customary household pets (dogs, cats, household birds) are allowed, but only in numbers and types that don't create a nuisance; the board has final discretion to decide whether any particular animal qualifies.
• Architectural review & design controls: Nearly all exterior changes require advance written approval: minimum house size is 1,100 sq ft; landscaping must be installed and approved within 6 months of purchase; fences must be cement block and no more than 6 feet high; window coverings facing the street must be white, beige, earth tone, or pastel (installed within 60 days); solar collectors, antennas, and satellite dishes must be screened from view and approved; storage sheds and pools must be behind the fence line; and one real-estate sign per lot is allowed (max 5 sq ft), but no other commercial signage.
• Vehicles & parking: No street or curb parking is allowed within the subdivision. All driveways are designated fire lanes. RVs, trailers, boats, and campers must be stored behind your fence or inside a garage and not visible from the street. Commercial vehicles are prohibited unless parked behind your fence/gate or in a garage. Vehicle repair is permitted only inside an enclosed garage, except for emergency repairs (limited to 48 hours).
• Home-based businesses: A home-based business is permitted only if its existence and operation are not detectable from outside the house (no visible traffic, signage, or sound), it complies with zoning, doesn't increase the association's insurance costs, and remains consistent with the residential character of the community — the board has sole discretion to determine if it meets these standards.
• Governance & voting: Initially, the developer holds Class B membership with three votes per lot; all other lot owners hold Class A membership with one vote per lot. Class B voting converts to Class A (one vote per lot) when either 63 lots have sold to non-developer owners within 120 days, or seven years have passed since the first lot sale. Major decisions (assessments exceeding the annual formula increase, capital improvements) require a 2/3 vote of Class A members.
