What Montello's governing documents say
Montello is a homeowners association (HOA) governing a subdivision of single-family homes (lots) in Phoenix, AZ. These bylaws are the internal operating rules for the association and its board, binding all owners, tenants, and guests. The document does not contain the full Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) that would cover property use restrictions like pets or rentals.
- Governing documents & conflicts: If the bylaws conflict with the Declaration (CC&Rs) or Articles of Incorporation, the more restrictive provision applies. The board's determination of disputes is final.
- Association governance & meetings: The association is run by a 5-member board of directors elected by lot owners. Annual meetings are held in January. Quorum for member meetings was reduced from 60% to 45% of votes. Special meetings can be called by the president, board, or owners holding 1/4 of votes.
- Board of directors: Directors serve staggered three-year terms. They can be removed without cause by a 2/3 vote of members present. Vacancies are filled by remaining directors. Directors must be lot owners; membership automatically ends if they stop owning a lot or are more than 30 days delinquent on assessments.
- Assessments & fees: Assessments are set by the board based on an annual budget and billed quarterly. Each lot pays a pro-rata share. Declarant pays 25% for owned lots unless rented. Additional assessments require 2/3 owner vote. Delinquent assessments accrue 12% interest or higher, plus late charges and collection costs.
- Enforcement & penalties: The board can suspend voting rights and recreational facility use for nonpayment or rule infractions (up to 60 days). Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot, enforceable by foreclosure or lawsuit. The association can recover attorney's fees.
- Liability & records: The association is not liable for latent conditions or acts of owners. Owners can inspect association financial records with 10 days notice. The treasurer must present an annual budget and audit.
- What this document doesn't cover: These bylaws do not contain the full CC&Rs. Topics like architectural review, pet limits, leasing restrictions, parking, or use of common areas are governed by separate recorded declarations and rules.
