Mountaingate Ranch II

What Mountaingate Ranch II's governing documents say

Mountaingate Ranch II is a planned unit development (single-family homes with some attached/townhome features) in Phoenix, AZ. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs) creates a homeowners' association and applies to all lot owners and residents, governing property use, maintenance, and aesthetics.

• Design review & exterior changes: Any exterior change to a lot — including painting, landscaping, roofing, antennas, window treatments, or structures — requires prior written approval from the Board or Design Review Committee, which may set design standards for uniformity.
• Pets: A reasonable number of house pets (not for commercial use) are allowed; they must be kept on a leash when outside the lot, and owners must immediately remove droppings. No pet may create a nuisance.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for a minimum of 30 days; transient occupancy, timeshare, or hotel use is prohibited. The owner must provide a copy of the CC&Rs to tenants and remains liable for tenant violations.
• Parking & vehicles: No inoperable or oversized vehicles (over 1-ton), RVs, boats, or campers may be parked visible from neighboring property. Garages must be used for parking, cannot be converted to living space, and garage doors must stay closed except for access.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Owners must maintain all landscaping on their lot and certain adjacent areas (e.g., between sidewalk and curb). The association maintains common areas, including private streets and common landscaping. No trees or shrubs may overhang below 8 feet without approval.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied on each lot at a uniform rate; the maximum initial annual assessment is $800 per lot, with annual increases up to 20% without a vote. Special assessments require two-thirds approval of each membership class. Delinquent assessments incur interest and collection costs.
• Common area use & rules: All owners have a non-exclusive easement to use common areas (e.g., private streets, tracts), which the association maintains. The board may adopt rules governing use, including fines and temporary suspensions of access for violations.
