Rancho Del Verde

What Rancho Del Verde's governing documents say

Rancho Del Verde is a single-family residential community in Gilbert, Arizona, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that establishes HOA governance and binding rules for all lot owners. The declaration covers annual assessments, architectural review for exterior changes, residential-use-only restrictions, vehicle and pet policies, and voting rights.

• Annual assessments and delinquency: The initial annual assessment is capped at $336 per occupied lot (never-occupied lots pay 25% of that), with increases allowed annually up to the greater of the Consumer Price Index or 10% (increases beyond that require a 2/3 member vote). Assessments 10+ days delinquent incur 12% annual interest plus $5 monthly late fees, trigger a lien on your lot, and suspend your voting rights.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration—including color changes, additions, patios, storage sheds, HVAC units, solar panels, and satellite dishes—requires Architectural Committee approval before work begins. The committee has 30 days to respond; failure to respond grants automatic approval, and all work must preserve the lot's original exterior appearance.
• Permitted uses: Your lot must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. No business, profession, trade, gainful occupation, or other commercial use is permitted.
• Vehicles & parking: All vehicles must be kept in garages or driveways where available; trucks, trailers, campers, and boats are restricted to rear yards, with front yards reserved for guest passenger vehicles only. Inoperable vehicles and vehicle repair work cannot be visible from neighboring properties.
• Pets: You may keep a reasonable number of domestic house or yard pets, which must be confined to your lot or kept on a leash ≤6 feet in length when off your lot. Pets cannot create a nuisance and must not relieve themselves on other lots or common areas.
• Membership & voting rights: Lot owners are Class A members entitled to one vote per lot; the declarant holds Class B with three votes per lot initially, converting to Class A (one vote per lot) 120 days after 75% of lots are sold or after 7 years, whichever is earlier. Voting rights are automatically suspended if your assessments are 10+ days delinquent and reinstated only upon full payment of all amounts owed, including interest and late fees.
