What La Buena Vista's governing documents say
La Buena Vista is a residential planned community in Phoenix (Maricopa County), Arizona. You own your individual lot and home but share ownership of common areas through the homeowners association, which maintains the exterior of units, common grounds, and landscaping, funded by per-lot annual assessments.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot's interior and structure; the association maintains all common areas, exterior unit elements (roofs, doors, patio walls), and landscaping. You are not responsible for structural repairs to your unit.
- Annual assessments & monthly fees: Annual assessment starts at $840 per lot (paid in 12 equal monthly installments). The maximum assessment increases automatically each year by whichever is greater: the Consumer Price Index increase or 5%, without requiring a member vote.
- Late fees & interest: A $15 late charge applies if payment is not received within 10 days of the due date. If unpaid within 30 days, 12% annual interest accrues from the due date.
- Parking: Each lot includes an exclusive easement for 2 parking spaces: 1 covered and 1 uncovered, assigned to be reasonably near the lot. The association may reassign spaces to improve overall convenience.
- Leasing & rentals: Units may be leased or rented to other occupants; this right is reserved in the declaration.
- Architectural changes & approvals: Any alterations, improvements, or additions to your lot require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. No changes to landscaping or other items the association maintains are allowed without approval.
- Shared walls (party walls): If your unit shares a wall with a neighbor's, specific rights and duties apply regarding maintenance, alterations, and liability for damage. Negligence by an owner makes that owner liable for repair.
- Voting & governance: Lot owners automatically become association members with 1 vote per lot. The developer initially holds 3 votes per lot but this converts to one vote per lot after 5 years or once class A votes equal class B votes.
