Mountain Vista Ranch

What Mountain Vista Ranch's governing documents say

Mountain Vista Ranch is a master planned community in Phoenix, AZ where you own your individual unit and share common areas maintained by the association and funded by per-unit assessments. The community is organized into neighborhoods with their own governance structures and may levy separate neighborhood assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual unit (townhouse, cluster home, single-family detached, or patio home); you're responsible for maintaining it to community standards. The association owns and maintains all common areas.
• Governance & membership classes: The association has two membership classes: Class B (the developer) and Class A (unit owners). The developer initially controls the board during the "Class B Membership Period"; this eventually converts to full owner voting.
• Neighborhoods & voting representation: The community divides into neighborhoods, each electing a Voting Member to represent unit owners on association matters. Neighborhoods may have their own associations or committees and can request special services.
• Assessments & fees: Base assessments are levied per unit for general common area maintenance. Neighborhood assessments fund exclusive common areas and neighborhood-specific services. Special and specific assessments are also possible.
• Architectural review: All construction and modifications require approval under Design Guidelines through an architectural review process; the board may approve, deny, or condition applications; variances are available.
• Common area access & suspension: You have non-exclusive easement rights to use common areas and recreational facilities. The board may suspend facility access if assessments are 30+ days delinquent or for rule violations (up to 30 days for a single violation, longer for continuing violations).
• Enforcement of violations: The association enforces covenant violations through monetary fines, suspension of voting and recreational facility access, and self-help maintenance with costs assessed to the violating unit; all violations follow notice and hearing procedures.
• Party walls & shared structures: Walls, fences, driveways, and similar structures that serve or separate adjoining units have specific maintenance and repair obligations detailed in the document.
