Rancho Monte Vista Subdivision

What Rancho Monte Vista Subdivision's governing documents say

This is a full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) for Rancho Monte Vista, a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, Arizona. It establishes a homeowners association (HOA) that all lot owners automatically join, with rules binding owners, residents, and guests. The document runs with the land for 25 years and covers use restrictions, assessments, maintenance, and architectural control.

• Membership & voting: Every lot owner is a member of the HOA, with one vote per lot. The developer (Declarant) has three votes per unsold lot until 80% of lots are sold, the developer converts, or January 1, 2027. Voting rights can be suspended for nonpayment of assessments (15 days delinquent) or for rule infractions (up to 60 days).
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are paid monthly (1/12 share). The initial maximum monthly assessment is $55 per lot, adjustable per Arizona law. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. A transfer fee is charged to each new owner (except developer or builder). Delinquent assessments incur late charges and can become a lien on the lot, subordinate to first mortgages.
• Residential use & leasing: Lots are for single-family residential use only; no businesses, trades, or commercial activity allowed. Leasing is permitted (owner must notify the HOA of lease terms and tenant name), but no minimum lease term is specified in this document.
• Pets & animals: Only a reasonable number of common house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets only (not for commercial purposes). No animal may be a nuisance; the Board decides if a pet is reasonable or a nuisance upon request.
• Parking & vehicles: On-street parking is restricted; vehicles should be in garages, carports, or driveways. No inoperable or unlicensed vehicles visible from neighboring property or common areas. No major vehicle repairs on lots or streets. Boats, campers, trailers, and similar equipment cannot be parked on common areas or streets without Board approval.
• Architectural control: All exterior improvements (buildings, fences, walls, color changes, landscaping) require prior written Board approval. Single-family homes must be at least 1,200 sq ft (excluding garage, porches, etc.) and of permanent construction (stucco, masonry, or approved material). Basketball hoops cannot be roof-mounted; portable hoops must be stored out of view when not in use.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The HOA maintains common areas (landscaping, irrigation, walls adjoining common area). Each owner maintains their own lot and improvements not covered by the HOA. Shared driveways (if any) are maintained jointly by adjoining owners. The HOA can perform maintenance and charge the owner if the owner fails to maintain a lot that creates a nuisance.
• Enforcement & duration: The HOA or any owner can enforce the CC&Rs via legal action. Violations are deemed nuisances. The covenants run for 25 years from recording (2018), automatically renewing for 10-year periods. Amendments require 80% owner approval during the first 25 years, then 75% thereafter; the Board may amend to comply with FHA/VA requirements.
