Northern Manor West

What Northern Manor West's governing documents say

Northern Manor West is a multi-phase townhouse community in Phoenix, Arizona, governed by an elected homeowners association board. Unit owners pay assessments and participate in governance through voting and board service. This document set comprises amendments to the Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions and by-laws excerpts covering board governance, elections, assessments, architectural review, and common-area management.

• Ownership & common elements: You own your individual townhouse unit; the association owns and maintains the common elements including grounds, parking areas, and common facilities.
• Assessments & liens: Unit owners pay uniform annual and special assessments per lot, collected monthly. Unpaid assessments become a lien against the property. Developer-owned unimproved lots pay 25% of the assessment rate until a home is built, occupied, and either sold or occupied by the owner.
• Board structure & governance: The association is managed by a Board of 5–9 member-residents elected annually. Directors are unpaid but may be reimbursed for expenses, and may be removed by majority vote or for three consecutive missed board meetings.
• Board elections & qualifications: Nominees must be current residents who own their units and have no financial interest in any business that contracts with the association. Nominations open at least 45 days before the annual meeting via the Nominating Committee or directly from member-residents; election is by secret ballot.
• Architectural review: Modifications to townhouses or common areas must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee to ensure compliance with building codes and local city and county permitting requirements.
• Parking & exclusive-use common areas: Parking spaces in common areas are assigned to specific units on an exclusive-use basis, as designated on the official plat.
• Financial audits & reporting: Annual audits of the association's financial records are completed by a public accountant and distributed to all members by February 28. The treasurer manages all association funds, signs checks, and prepares an annual budget and income statement for membership approval.
