Lone Mountain Ranch

What Lone Mountain Ranch's governing documents say

Lone Mountain Ranch is a single-family residential community in Maricopa County, Arizona, with an equestrian character — you own your individual lot and dwelling, and the community explicitly permits stables, barns, and tack rooms for horses. The association maintains common areas and the perimeter fence, funded by per-lot assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit; you're responsible for maintaining your home's exterior, walls, fences, plumbing, and septic systems. The association maintains the perimeter fence, entry monumentation, and landscaping in Association Easement Areas.
• Property size & structure requirements: Dwelling units must have at least 1,800 sq ft of enclosed living space, stand no taller than one story or 28 feet, and observe setbacks of 40 feet from front and rear lot lines and 30 feet from both side lot lines. Lots may not be subdivided.
• Equestrian structures (barns & stables): You may construct one additional structure beyond your home — a stable, barn, tack room, or guest quarters — subject to architectural approval. These structures must harmonize in design with your dwelling unit.
• Architectural review: All new construction, exterior changes (including color), landscaping, and grade modifications require written Architectural Committee approval. The committee has 30 days to respond; failure to do so deems the request denied, unless you resubmit and receive approval within 15 additional days.
• Assessments & fees: The initial maximum annual assessment was $240 (set in 1997). Subsequent yearly increases are capped at 10% or the consumer price index, whichever is greater. Special assessments for capital improvements require two-thirds member approval.
• Developer control & transition: The builder and declarant hold Class B membership (3 votes per lot) and direct control of the board and architectural committee. This converts to standard Class A membership (1 vote per lot) after either 4 years from the first home sale or when Class A votes equal Class B — whichever comes first.
• Insurance responsibilities: The association carries hazard and liability insurance ($1 million minimum per occurrence) for Association Easement Areas. You must carry your own homeowner's and personal liability insurance for your dwelling and belongings.
• About this document: This is a partial excerpt of Lone Mountain Ranch's full CCR declaration. Section titles for animal ownership, vehicle rules, rental policies, and other restrictions are referenced but not fully detailed in this text.
