Rancho Del Rey

What Rancho Del Rey's governing documents say

Rancho Del Rey is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Phoenix, AZ, with 72 lots. These rules bind all owners, residents, and guests. The community is also part of a master association ('The Villages of Queen Creek') that may impose additional assessments and rules.

• Residential use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use only. A 'Single Family' means persons related by blood/marriage/adoption, or up to three unrelated persons living as a common household. No commercial activity except home businesses that comply with local ordinances and don't generate traffic/noise.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their lot or home, but the lease must require the lessee to comply with all HOA rules. There is no minimum lease term stated in this document.
• Pets & animals: Only a 'reasonable number' of domestic dogs, cats, fish, and caged birds are allowed, subject to local town ordinances. Dogs must be leashed off the owner's lot. No animals may create nuisance or unsanitary conditions. The board can decide if the number is reasonable and may prohibit animals deemed a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No overnight on-street parking. Vehicles must be kept in garages or driveways; front/side yard parking prohibited. No trucks over 1 ton, RVs, boats, campers, or commercial vehicles visible from neighboring property or common area for more than 72 hours. Pickup trucks under 1 ton with camper shells are exempt if parked properly.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration, construction, or landscaping requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted; if no response within 60 days, approval is deemed given. Exterior color schemes, fences, HVAC, solar panels, satellite dishes, and window coverings are all subject to approval.
• Fences & boundaries: Fences must be concrete/masonry, chain link, or wrought iron, with a maximum height of 6 feet. Party walls on lot lines are maintained jointly by adjacent owners. Fence color must be approved.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $250 per lot maximum (subject to annual increases up to 5% or CPI). The master association also assesses $198/year per home. Special assessments require 2/3 member vote. Late payments incur 10% interest or $15 late fee, and delinquencies become a lien on the lot.
• Building & lot standards: Houses must be at least 1,000 sq ft (exclusive of garage, porches, etc.); manufactured homes (allowed only on lots 1-17 and 64-72) must be at least 800 sq ft and no more than 2 years old at placement unless committee approves up to 4 years. Landscaping must be installed and maintained; if not done within 6 months, the HOA may do it at owner's expense.
