Monterosa

What Monterosa's governing documents say

Monterosa is a planned community of attached/townhomes with party walls in Phoenix, AZ. You own your individual lot and home, but share responsibility for common areas, party walls, and fences with neighbors. The homeowners association (HOA) enforces rules on architecture, parking, pets, and leasing, and collects assessments for common area maintenance and insurance.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home interior. You maintain roofs, exterior walls, windows, private yards, patios, and all fixtures within your lot lines. The HOA maintains common areas and carries master insurance. Party walls (shared walls between units) are repaired and maintained proportionally by the owners who use them.
• Architectural review: Any building, fence, wall, patio cover, awning, antenna, or exterior change must be approved in writing by the HOA board or architectural committee. Plans are considered approved if no decision is made within 30 days of submission.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board at a uniform rate per lot. The initial maximum was $360/year, adjustable annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) without a vote. Increases above CPI require a 2/3 member vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require 2/3 member approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 18% annual interest and become a lien on the property.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your home, but the lease must include a written agreement that the tenant will comply with all HOA documents and rules. Failure by the tenant to comply is a default under the lease.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, subject to HOA rules and not in unreasonable numbers. No animals may be bred or kept for commercial purposes, and no animals that cause annoyance or are obnoxious to neighbors are permitted.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles, boats, campers, bicycles, or wheeled toys may be parked on common areas except in designated visitor parking. Inoperable or abandoned vehicles may not be stored anywhere on the property where visible from other lots or streets. Vehicles parked in restricted areas may be towed at owner's expense.
• Use restrictions: All lots are restricted to residential use. No business activities, temporary structures, or signs except one 'for sale' sign up to 5 square feet per lot. Clotheslines, garbage cans, and storage must be screened. No exterior antennas except satellite dishes 39 inches or smaller. Owners must maintain their yards and patios, and the HOA may enter to correct drainage or maintenance issues at owner's cost.
