Regency at Ridgeview Estates

What Regency at Ridgeview Estates's governing documents say

Regency at Ridgeview Estates is a single-family residential subdivision in Mesa, Arizona where you own your individual detached home and lot. An HOA governed by the builder (Declarant) initially, then transitioning to owner control, enforces community rules and collects annual assessments. The community has no shared common areas—you own and maintain your home independently, but all exterior changes require architectural approval.

• What you own & maintain: You own your detached dwelling unit and lot. You are responsible for all maintenance and repair of your home interior and exterior—including roof, siding, plumbing, electrical, paint, floors, doors, windows, and all appliances. The HOA does not maintain individual homes.
• Annual assessments & delinquency: All owners pay annual assessments per lot. From 1998 onward, assessments can increase annually by the greater of 10% or the Consumer Price Index increase, unless owners approve a larger increase by two-thirds vote. Delinquent assessments incur a 10% late charge plus 10% annual interest and can result in a lien against your property.
• Landscaping requirements: You must landscape your front/visible yard within 90 days of purchase and plant at least two 15-gallon non-deciduous trees. All landscaping plans require Architectural Committee approval before installation. You must maintain your landscaping in clean, neat, attractive condition year-round.
• Architectural review for changes: All exterior modifications—including roof materials and colors, fences, walls, windows, mailboxes, and any visible structural changes—require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The Committee is the sole judge of whether changes comply with community standards.
• Single-family residential use only: Homes are restricted to single-family residential use. Business activities, commercial operations, hazardous waste storage, and noxious or offensive activities are prohibited.
• Vehicle & recreational equipment restrictions: Commercial and recreational vehicles (RVs, boats, commercial trucks) cannot be parked or stored on your property without Architectural Committee approval, and if approved, must be screened from neighboring properties. Vehicle repairs are restricted on your lot.
• Fences & walls: All fences and walls require Architectural Committee approval for design and color. The HOA retains easement rights to access and repair fences if needed.
• HOA control transition: The builder (Declarant) initially controls the association with Class B voting (3 votes per lot). When Class A member votes (1 vote per lot, other owners) exceed Class B votes, or six years after the first home sale—whichever comes first—full control transfers to the owners. Claims against the builder for past acts are waived if not filed within one year of control transfer.
