La Jolla

What La Jolla's governing documents say

La Jolla is a single-family home HOA (called a 'sub-lot development') in Phoenix, AZ. This document is the full rulebook for homeowners and residents. It covers what you can and can't do on your lot, how the association maintains common areas, and what fees you'll pay.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and house, but the association maintains the front yard landscaping (excluding the atrium unit area between front gate and door), common areas (roads, pool, playground), and carries master insurance on common areas. You're responsible for your back yard, roof (must match original Bermuda-type color/texture), exterior paint (base color Dunn Edwards Navajo White, trim pre-approved), and all utilities from where they enter your lot.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for a term of 6 months or more, and the lease must state that violating HOA rules is grounds for eviction. Owners must submit a rental registration form for each new tenant/lease and provide tenants a copy of the governing documents. The owner remains responsible for any tenant violations.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of household pets (dogs, cats, birds) allowed. Dogs must be leashed and under control outside your lot. Owners must immediately clean up pet waste in common areas. No excessive noise or nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No trailers, campers, boats, commercial vehicles over 3/4 ton, or inoperable cars on the property except temporarily (24 hours max per 14 days) unless inside garage. Standard pickup trucks used for business are okay if signage is unobtrusive. On-street guest parking limited to 6 consecutive hours per 7 days (or 5 days for overnight guests per 30 days). No parking in front of pool area except for loading/unloading. No parking on center median.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change (building, fence, wall, painting, etc.) must get written approval from the Board. Submit plans, specs, and colors; board must respond within 30 days. Roof replacement must match original Bermuda-type; exterior paint color is fixed: base = Dunn Edwards Navajo White, trim must be board-approved.
• Home businesses: No regular business or trade on your lot unless it's not detectable from outside (no sound, smell, customers coming to the lot, no signs, no on-street parking related to the business). The board decides if it's a nuisance.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot pays one equal share of common expenses. The board sets annual assessments, sends invoices or monthly bills (due by 30th of month). Unpaid assessments get 10% annual interest, late fees, and a lien on the lot. Special assessments need majority owner approval. The board can suspend voting rights for nonpayment or violations.
• Nuisances & signs: No unsightly objects or nuisances. Only one 'For Rent' or 'For Sale' sign per lot, max 6 sq ft. No commercial signs. Association can post signs in common areas. No reflective window coverings (reflectivity >=30%, or bright colors).
