Palm Lane Condominiums

What Palm Lane Condominiums's governing documents say

Palm Lane Condominiums is a two-unit condominium in Phoenix, AZ — you own your unit and an undivided half-interest in the common elements, with the association managing the shared sewer line. This declaration applies to unit owners, lessees, and occupants.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit and a one-half undivided interest in the common elements (e.g., yards, walkways, parking). Each unit has a limited common element (the adjoining tract) that you must maintain at your own expense, including landscaping, buildings, and utility lines within your unit.
• Use & occupancy: Units and limited common elements are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed if not visible or noisy from outside, no employees who don't live in the unit, and no nuisance. Occupancy is limited to a single family or a group of up to four unrelated persons.
• Pets & animals: Pets are permitted subject to all applicable Phoenix city ordinances — no additional association pet limits are stated in this declaration.
• Parking & vehicles: Recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, trucks over 19 feet long or 7 feet tall, disabled vehicles, snowmobiles, ATVs, motorcycles, boats over 14 feet, and trailers may not be parked on a unit unless in an enclosed garage or with unanimous board approval.
• Alterations & improvements: Exterior alterations (fences, doors, windows) require approval from the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office and Development Services Department. Alterations to the fence between units or on the east side also need unanimous board approval. Digging deeper than 20 inches requires damage assessment and unanimous board approval.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains the common sewer line. Unit owners maintain their units, limited common elements, and the landscaped city median adjacent to the street. The fence between units is maintained by Unit 2 and may be unlocked only by mutual agreement.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are set annually by the board to cover common expenses (mostly sewer line costs). Each unit pays 50% of all common expenses. Special assessments require unanimous owner approval. Late charges and 18% annual interest apply to delinquent amounts.
• Dispute resolution: Claims related to common element defects or association management must go through a multi-step process: notice, negotiation, mediation, and binding arbitration. The association cannot initiate a claim without approval of owners holding more than 80% of votes (excluding any defendant-owner).
