Harmont Gardens

What Harmont Gardens's governing documents say

Harmont Gardens is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Phoenix, AZ, comprising 23 residential lots. These governing documents (CC&Rs) bind all lot owners and outline what living here requires. The community is limited to residential use, with specific rules about construction, rentals, pets, vehicles, landscaping, and assessments.

• Residential use & construction: All lots are limited to single-family residential use. Minimum dwelling floor area is 1,000 square feet (excluding garage, open-roofed areas). No temporary structures (tents, trailers, etc.) may be used as residences. New construction must be approved by the Board.
• Leasing & rentals: Only an entire lot with improvements may be rented, and only to a single family. Minimum lease term is six (6) months. Owners must notify the Board within 7 days of renting, provide a copy of the rental agreement within 10 days, and include a clause binding the renter to the governing documents.
• Pets: No more than two commonly accepted household pets per lot. They may not be kept for commercial purposes and must be under owner control at all times. Other animals require written Board approval.
• Vehicles & parking: Trucks, buses, trailers, boats, campers, and similar vehicles may not be parked on streets or front yards unless in designated areas or with Board approval. Vehicles creating loud noises may be deemed a nuisance and prohibited. All vehicles must be operated by licensed operators.
• Architectural review: Any construction, fence, wall, antenna, or structure requires Board approval of plans. The Board has 30 days to reject; failure to reject constitutes approval. All exterior changes, additions, or redecorating also require prior approval.
• Landscaping & fences: Front yard landscaping must harmonize with existing landscaping and not interfere with the association-maintained sprinkler system. Adjoining lot owners must agree to modifications before Board submission. No fences except those initially constructed or Board-approved.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied uniformly per lot. Special assessments for capital improvements require 66-2/3% member vote. Delinquent assessments bear 10% interest and can become a lien on the lot. A transfer fee (Contribution Fee) may be set by the Board upon sale of a lot.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas (tracts A-G, landscaping, streets, recreation). Individual lot owners are responsible for all maintenance of their dwelling units, including exterior and interior, patios, and termite control. The association may enter a lot for restoration if the owner fails to maintain, after 30 days' notice.
