Maridale Villa Condominium

What Maridale Villa Condominium's governing documents say

Maridale Villa Condominium is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of common elements. This declaration establishes the rules for all unit owners, residents, and their guests, covering use, modifications, parking, assessments, and more. The association maintains common areas and carries master insurance.

• Use & occupancy: Units are for residential use by a 'Single Family,' defined as persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to 3 unrelated persons. No nonresidential use is allowed, but limited home-based businesses are permitted under seven specific conditions (e.g., no visible signs, minimal traffic, no more than 1 non-resident employee).
• Modifications & architectural review: Any modification visible from the exterior or affecting structure requires prior written board approval. Applications must include sealed plans from an Arizona-licensed architect or engineer; approval is deemed denied if not granted within 45 days of a complete application. The board may require a security deposit and liability insurance, and decisions are based on aesthetic considerations.
• Antennas & satellite dishes: Only antennas one meter or less in diameter (e.g., DBS, MMDS) are allowed, and they must be installed in approved locations to minimize visibility. Ground-floor units should mount antennas in their patio area. Installation may be prohibited if it affects safety.
• Parking & vehicles: The declaration includes general restrictions on parking (Section 4.12) and vehicle repair/towing rules (Section 4.13). Specifics are not detailed in the excerpt, but violations may result in towing at owner's expense.
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are assessed equally per unit (1/98th share). The association may levy special assessments, enforcement assessments, and a transfer fee on resale. Late payments can result in liens and collection costs, including attorney's fees.
• Insurance: The association maintains master property and liability insurance on common elements and buildings. Unit owners should carry their own coverage for personal property and interior improvements.
• Enforcement & penalties: The association may suspend use of common elements for violations, levy monetary penalties, and enforce through legal action. Owners are responsible for violations by their tenants, guests, or invitees.
