Riggs Country Estates

What Riggs Country Estates's governing documents say

Riggs Country Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Chandler, AZ (near Phoenix) governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all owners, residents, and guests, and sets rules for property use, maintenance, and assessments. This is the full rulebook for the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association maintains common areas (e.g., tracts A–D, streets, landscaping in dedicated rights-of-way not accepted by the city). Owners must maintain their own lots and improvements.
• Architectural review: Any improvement visible from neighboring property needs prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Exceptions include in-ground pools in rear yards, landscaping, and swing sets under 8 ft tall set back 10 ft from boundaries. ARC may consider design harmony, aesthetics, and impact on neighbors.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common house or yard pets allowed, kept for domestic purposes only. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) when off the owner's lot and cannot enter other lots. Pet enclosures must not be visible from neighboring property. The board decides if a pet is a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, RVs, boats, trailers, or campers may be parked visible from neighboring property except for loading/unloading (max 24 hours in a 7-day period). Regular passenger vehicles (under 7 ft tall, 22 ft long) may be parked in garage or on driveway; no commercial vehicles or signs. Inoperable vehicles must be hidden. The board can tow violators at owner expense.
• Leasing & rentals: An entire residential unit may be leased. The lease must include a provision that the tenant agrees to be bound by all governing documents. No minimum lease term is specified in the excerpt.
• Assessments: Annual assessments are levied per lot. The initial maximum annual assessment was $480 per lot. The board may increase it each year by the greater of 10% or the CPI-U increase. Special assessments require approval by over two-thirds of voting members. Assessments become a lien on the lot if unpaid.
• Use restrictions: All units must be used for residential purposes only. No home businesses may be detectable from outside, involve customer visits, or harm the residential character. No antennas, clotheslines visible from neighbors, signs (except approved for-sale signs), or nuisances. Lawns and trees must not obstruct drainage or public walkways.
