Mountaingate Ranch III

What Mountaingate Ranch III's governing documents say

Mountaingate Ranch III is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Phoenix, AZ. The rules bind all lot owners and occupants, with the developer (D.R. Horton) retaining special rights until a transition date. Lots are for single-family residential use only, with limited home businesses allowed.

• Residential use & home businesses: Lots must be used only for single-family residential purposes. Home businesses are permitted only if they are not visible, audible, or detectable from outside the unit, involve no customer visits, and comply with all zoning laws. The Architectural Committee has sole discretion to determine compliance.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, cover the entire residential unit and lot, and have a minimum term of at least 30 days. A copy of each lease must be provided to the Association, and the lease must require the tenant to follow all Project Documents. This does not apply to model homes or sales offices.
• Signs: Only allowed signs: one temporary 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign (max 5 sq ft), signs required by law, one residential identification sign (max 9x30 inches), signs approved by the Architectural Committee, and signs used by the developer for sale or lease. All must comply with municipal codes.
• Motor vehicles & parking: No motor vehicles with a manufacturer's rating over 1 ton, mobile homes, travel trailers, campers, recreational vehicles, boat trailers, or similar equipment may be parked or kept on any lot, street, or common area so as to be visible from neighboring property. Specific towing and parking rules are detailed in the document.
• Assessments & fees: All lots are subject to annual, special, neighborhood, and lot-specific assessments. Annual assessments cannot exceed 120% of the prior year without 2/3 member vote (except for insurance and utility increases). Late payments incur 10% interest or a $15 late charge. Delinquent assessments become a lien on the property. Transfer and disclosure fees may also apply.
• Architectural control: An Architectural Committee must approve exterior improvements, including building type and size. No prefabricated structures visible from neighboring properties are allowed unless approved. Temporary structures (e.g., construction trailers) are permitted for the developer. All buildings must be new construction, and variances may be granted.
• What this document doesn't cover: The provided text is truncated and missing use restrictions for animals, antennas, clothes drying, and other sections (e.g., Article 6 sections 6.16–6.30). Specific rules on pets, noise, and landscaping are not included in this excerpt. The document also does not address age restrictions or affordable housing requirements.
