Madison Vistas

What Madison Vistas's governing documents say

Madison Vistas is a single-family planned community in Phoenix, Arizona, where you own individual residential lots within a master-planned development governed by the Madison Vistas Community Association. The association maintains common areas and collects per-lot assessments; owners maintain their individual lots and must comply with strict architectural, design, and use restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and are responsible for maintaining it to the community's maintenance standard. The association maintains all common areas (designated tracts A–K and other common property) and provides master insurance coverage.
• Architectural review & approval process: All exterior construction and modifications require advance written approval from the Design Review Committee, along with a review fee. The committee has 45 days to decide; if it doesn't respond, you may demand a decision, and if the committee doesn't disapprove within 30 more days, approval is deemed granted. You must begin construction within 90 days of approval.
• Interior vs. exterior changes: Interior remodeling, painting, and decorating require no approval. Exterior paint must match the originally approved color scheme. All improvements must be new construction—nothing may be moved from other locations onto a lot.
• Residential use & home-based business: All lots are for residential use only. Home-based businesses are permitted if they are not visible, audible, or detectable by smell from outside; are legal and zoning-compliant; involve no customer visits or door-to-door solicitation; generate no unusual traffic; use no hazardous materials; and are conducted only by resident(s) with no outside employees.
• Pets: You may keep a reasonable number of dogs, cats, parakeets, or similar household birds (the board determines what is reasonable for each lot). Dogs must be confined to your lot or on a leash not exceeding 6 feet when off your lot. Owners must immediately clean up after dogs on common areas.
• Property upkeep & visible restrictions: No exterior clotheslines visible from neighbors, trash outside covered containers (except during collection), water wells, or mineral exploration are permitted. Trees and shrubs cannot overhang sidewalks or streets above 8 feet without approval. Construction areas must be kept neat during work.
• Assessments & fees: Regular per-lot assessments fund association operations and common-area maintenance. Special assessments, initial capital contributions, and reserve contributions may also be required. Non-payment results in an assessment lien against the property.
