Los Vecinos

What Los Vecinos's governing documents say

Los Vecinos is a single-family homeowners association in Phoenix, Arizona, consisting of five residential lots plus common areas (parking, walkways, landscaping) and a community swimming pool. You own your individual lot; the association maintains and insures the common elements, funded by annual per-parcel assessments. The declaration establishes use restrictions, architectural review, and membership/voting rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your residential lot; the association maintains all common areas (parking, walkways, landscaping) and the swimming pool. You have the right to use the pool and common areas, subject to association rules.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot and billed quarterly. Late payments (more than 5 days overdue) accrue interest at 12% per annum. Special assessments for major repairs require a two-thirds vote of members.
• Use restrictions: All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. No trash outside Board-approved covered containers, no outside clotheslines, and no nuisances (odors, loud noises, accumulation of debris or rubbish) are permitted.
• Architectural review: No home improvements, alterations, or construction on your lot—or modifications to common areas—may proceed without written Board approval. Construction sites must be kept neat, with building materials and equipment screened and stored in Board-approved areas.
• Common facilities & rental restrictions: The association maintains a swimming pool and common areas for owner and guest use. If you lease your lot to a tenant, the tenant may use the common facilities during the lease term, but you as the owner lose access to common areas for the duration of the lease.
• Voting & governance: Each lot owner has one vote. Voting rights are automatically suspended if you fail to pay assessments within 15 days of the due date or if you violate other covenant restrictions and do not cure the violation within 15 days of Board notice.
• Insurance & property damage: The association maintains property insurance for common areas. If common areas are damaged or destroyed, the association will repair or replace them unless 80% of owners vote against restoration; repairs are funded by insurance proceeds and the association's reserves.
