Riata West

What Riata West's governing documents say

Riata West is a standard single-family home HOA in Buckeye, AZ. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) binds all owners, residents, and tenants to rules covering architectural control, use restrictions, parking, pets, leasing, and maintenance. The developer, D.R. Horton, retained significant control during the Declarant Control Period.

• Architectural review: All exterior construction or modifications must be approved in writing by the Design Review Committee. The committee can disapprove for purely aesthetic reasons. Decisions are final, and failure to respond within 45 days is deemed disapproval.
• Pets: A reasonable number of dogs, cats, parakeets, or similar household birds may be kept as domestic pets. The Board determines what is reasonable. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) off the owner's lot, and owners must remove feces on common areas.
• Vehicles & parking: No motor vehicle exceeding 8 ft in height or 24 ft in length may be parked on a street or visible from neighboring property (except temporary loading). All vehicles must be parked in the garage if space allows, then on the original driveway. No inoperable vehicles, storage under covers, or commercial vehicles overnight on lots or common area.
• Leasing & rentals: An owner may lease only the entire lot and residence. Leases must be in writing, subject to CC&Rs, and have an initial term of at least one month. No subleases or assignments. Owners must provide the association with tenant info at least 10 days before lease start and are liable for tenant violations.
• Use restrictions: All residences are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside, no customer traffic, and no employees who are not residents. No temporary buildings for residence, no nuisances, antennas require approval, and signs are limited (e.g., one 5 sq ft 'For Sale' sign after one year of ownership).
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas and any areas designated as 'Areas of Association Responsibility.' Lot owners maintain their lots and improvements, including keeping them in a neat condition. The association has right of access for inspections and repairs.
• What this document doesn't cover: The CC&Rs do not specify assessment amounts, age restrictions, or rules specific to condominium or townhome ownership. Rules about pool or clubhouse amenities are not detailed here.
