Santan Sunrise

What Santan Sunrise's governing documents say

Santan Sunrise is a standard single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ — the Declaration creates equitable servitudes running with the land, binding all owners, lessees, and residents. The HOA maintains common areas (roadway easement, water well), enforces architectural and use restrictions, and levies assessments on each lot. This document does not create a condominium, age restriction, or affordable housing program.

• Architectural review: Exterior construction or modification of walls/fences requires Architectural Committee approval; plans may be disapproved solely for aesthetic reasons. The committee may charge a review fee, and approval is not a warranty of code compliance. If no decision within 45 days after complete submission, approval is deemed given unless the committee extends the period with notice.
• Use restrictions & home businesses: Lots are residential only. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, no employee non-resident, no customer traffic, and comply with zoning. Leasing a unit is not considered a business. Signs visible from neighboring property require prior approval. No timesharing or fractional ownership.
• Animals: Dogs, cats, parakeets, and similar household birds are generally permitted, but the association may require approval to keep other animals (e.g., fowl, livestock). Owners must immediately remove dog feces from common areas, and the board may restrict where dogs are allowed on common property. Animals must not create unreasonable noise or nuisance.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set equally per lot based on an adopted budget; special assessments require approval of 4/7 of voting members. Assessments are due monthly or as set by the board, and delinquencies bear interest and late fees. A transfer fee is due from each new purchaser, set by the board. Assessments create a lien on the lot, subordinate only to real property taxes and first mortgages.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas (roadway, water well, and any areas designated as Areas of Association Responsibility). Each owner maintains their lot, including buildings, landscaping, and improvements, to a standard set by the board. Boundary walls between lots are shared equally for maintenance costs, unless damage is caused by one owner's negligence.
• Insurance: The association may choose not to purchase insurance by a 4/7 vote of members; if so, all owners release the association from liability. If purchased, minimum liability coverage is $1,000,000, and property insurance must cover 100% replacement cost of common areas. Policies must include a standard mortgagee clause and no subrogation against owners.
