Horizons at Scarlett Canyon

What Horizons at Scarlett Canyon's governing documents say

Horizons At Scarlett Canyon is a single-family residential HOA community in Phoenix, AZ governed by restrictive covenants. As a property owner, you must comply with extensive rules covering architectural approvals, vehicle restrictions, maintenance standards, and residential use, and pay annual assessments to the HOA.

• Architectural review & approval: Nearly all exterior changes visible from neighboring properties—additions, paint, fencing, landscaping, roof equipment, basketball hoops, antennas—require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. If the committee doesn't respond within 30 days of receiving your application, approval is deemed granted. The committee may charge a review fee.
• Pets: Maximum two domestic pets (dogs, cats, parakeets, or similar household birds) allowed per lot. Pets must be confined to your property; dogs or cats may leave only on a leash not exceeding 6 feet. You must immediately remove pet waste from common areas and other properties.
• Vehicles & parking: Trucks, trailers, campers, boats, RVs, and motorcycles cannot be visibly parked or stored on lots or streets, except temporarily for loading/unloading (up to 24 consecutive or 48 hours per 7 days). Guest vehicles may park on streets for up to 48 hours per 7 days. No vehicle repairs allowed except emergencies. The board can tow violating vehicles at the owner's expense.
• Home-based business: You may operate a business from home only if: the business is invisible and inaudible from outside; it conforms to local zoning; customers don't visit or residents aren't solicited; and it doesn't threaten safety or residential character. Renting out your unit does not constitute a business.
• Residential use & occupancy: Your unit must be used exclusively for residential purposes by a single family (one or more related persons, or up to three unrelated persons sharing a household). No trailers, temporary structures, or incomplete buildings allowed as residences. Construction trailers must be removed within 12 months of project completion.
• Maintenance, nuisances & utilities: Rubbish, odors, and loud noises are prohibited. Trash must be in covered, approved containers and not visible except during collection. Outside clotheslines are prohibited if visible from neighbors. Trees and shrubs cannot overhang streets above 8 feet. Utility lines must be underground or concealed. Garages must retain space for at least one car.
• Assessments & fines: You must pay annual assessments per lot (specific amounts not detailed in this document). Non-payment creates a lien on your property and may trigger vehicle towing, suspension of common-area use rights, and collection actions. The board can impose reasonable fines for violations.
• Voting rights & HOA membership: Membership is automatic upon purchase; you have one vote per lot. The developer initially holds three votes per lot until 7 years pass, until owner votes equal developer votes, or until the developer voluntarily relinquishes this right. Your voting rights suspend if you're 15+ days delinquent on assessments or in violation without curing within 15 days of written notice.
