Regency at Garden Grove

What Regency at Garden Grove's governing documents say

Regency at Garden Grove is a single-family detached-home subdivision in Mesa, Arizona—you own your individual house and lot and share common areas (including a drainage tract) managed by the homeowners association. Homes are restricted to single-family residential use only, with strict architectural and vehicle rules enforced by an association committee. Annual assessments fund common area maintenance, starting at $426 per lot through 1997 and adjustable thereafter; non-payment results in liens and suspension of voting and common-area access.

• What you own & maintain: You own your detached dwelling unit (home, garage, patio, and basement) and your lot. The association owns and maintains the common area tracts and is responsible for their upkeep funded by assessments.
• Annual fees & assessments: Assessments started at $426 per lot through 1997, then adjustable annually by the greater of 10% or the Consumer Price Index, capped at 20% increases unless approved by a majority of owners. Late payments incur a charge of the greater of $15 or 10% of the unpaid amount, plus 12% annual interest.
• Parking & vehicles: Family vehicles (standard cars, SUVs, pickups under 1 ton) must park in garages or carports. Commercial and recreational vehicles—including large trucks, boats, RVs, campers, and all-terrain vehicles—are restricted and must not be visible from neighboring properties. Guest parking on streets is permitted only on a temporary, nonrecurring basis.
• Architectural review & changes: All exterior changes visible from neighboring property or public streets require Architectural Committee approval in advance, including roofs, windows, antennas, landscaping, storage structures, and screening areas.
• Single-family residential use only: Homes must be occupied by a single family (related by blood or marriage) or no more than four unrelated adults. No business use, commercial activities, or income-generating use of your property is permitted.
• Non-payment & enforcement: Unpaid assessments become a lien against your property. After 30 days of non-payment, the association may suspend your voting rights and access to common areas; it may also pursue collection lawsuits or foreclose on the lien. Violations of rules incur monetary penalties.
• Membership & voting: All lot owners are members with one vote per lot. During an initial developer-control period, the builder (Beazer/Hancock Homes) had three votes per lot, converting to one vote per lot after six years or when cumulative owner votes exceeded developer votes.
