New River Ranch

What New River Ranch's governing documents say

New River Ranch is a single-family home subdivision in Peoria, Arizona, where you own your house and lot individually while the homeowners association owns and maintains shared facilities, funded by mandatory per-lot assessments that become a lien if unpaid. The community enforces strict architectural controls and use restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your detached house and lot; you maintain your home and yard. The association owns and maintains all common areas, funded by per-lot assessments.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board and can increase each year by the greater of 10% or the CPI increase without a member vote; increases exceeding 20% require a member vote (>50%). Late payments incur a fee of $15 or 10% (whichever is higher) plus 12% annual interest, compounded monthly. Unpaid assessments create a lien against your lot.
• Membership & voting: Every lot owner is a member with one vote per lot (joint owners share one vote). The developer (declarant) initially has 3 votes per lot, which convert to 1 vote per lot after either 4 months of equal voting strength with regular owners, 6 years from the first lot sale, or voluntary relinquishment.
• Architectural review & approval: An Architectural Committee must approve all exterior changes, additions, and structures, including fences, walls, roofs, pools, sheds, antennas, and satellite dishes. Committee approval does not waive other CC&R requirements or legal compliance.
• Parking & vehicles: Family vehicles (cars, vans, SUVs, motorcycles, and pickup trucks ≤1 ton without commercial equipment) can be parked normally; commercial and recreational vehicles (trucks, RVs, boats, dune buggies, etc.) must be parked only in an Architectural Committee-approved, screened Recreational Vehicle Parking Area on your lot.
• Use restrictions: Your lot is restricted to single-family residential use only; no business operations, drilling, mining, hazardous materials, or commercial activities are permitted.
• Pets in common areas: The association can limit the number and type of pets allowed in common areas.
• Common area access & enforcement: Owners and their guests have non-exclusive rights to use common areas; the association can charge fees for use. Voting and common-area access rights can be suspended if assessments are 30+ days overdue or if you violate non-monetary CC&R provisions.
