Saguaro Highlands

What Saguaro Highlands's governing documents say

Saguaro Highlands is a single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. If you buy a lot here, you own the land and house, and the association maintains the common areas (roads, landscaping, maybe a gate). The rules cover what you can build, how you can use your property, parking, pets, and leasing. This document is the full set of covenants that run with the land.

• Architectural review: You must get written approval from the Architectural Committee before any exterior change visible from neighboring property—including buildings, fences, paint, landscaping, and even basketball hoops. The committee reviews plans and can charge a fee. If it doesn't act within 60 days of a complete application, approval is deemed given.
• Residential use & home businesses: Lots are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, don't involve customer visits or door-to-door solicitation, and don't create a nuisance.
• Pets: You may keep up to two dogs, cats, or small household birds without prior approval. More pets require board approval. Pets must be leashed when off your lot, not create a nuisance, and solid waste must be removed immediately. Pet structures must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 30 days (no short-term or hotel use). The lease must include a provision that the tenant follows all HOA rules, and the owner is responsible for tenant compliance.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, trailers, or inoperable vehicles may be parked where visible from neighboring property, except for temporary loading (24 hours) or guest parking on streets (12 hours). Garages must be used for parking at least one car, and garage doors must stay closed except when entering or exiting.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments and may impose special assessments or optional maintenance assessments. The association can create a lien for unpaid assessments. A transfer fee may also be required.
• Common area use & gated entry: Owners and residents have an easement to use common areas, but the association can suspend use for nonpayment or rule violations (except street access). The declarent planned a gated entry but does not guarantee security.
