Shadow Mountain Villas Condominium

What Shadow Mountain Villas Condominium's governing documents say

Shadow Mountain Villas is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit and a share of the common elements (buildings, pool, parking, etc.). The association maintains common areas and enforces the rules, and you pay equal-share assessments. This declaration lays out the full rulebook for owners, residents, and guests.

• What you own & maintain: Your unit's interior (finished walls, floors, ceilings) is yours; the association maintains common elements (structural walls, roofs, landscaping, pool, parking lots). Limited common elements like patios, storage, and exterior windows/doors are allocated to your unit for exclusive use but you must maintain them.
• Use & occupancy: Units are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are allowed if not visible or noisy, limited to one non-resident employee, and generate no excessive traffic. Leasing is permitted but subject to Section 4.18 (full text not included here; see governing documents for lease terms and restrictions).
• Modifications & alterations: Any exterior visible change or structural interior modification requires prior board approval. Nonstructural interior changes that don't affect mechanical systems may be done without approval. You must submit plans, may need a building permit, and the board can impose conditions (deposit, insurance). Decisions are aesthetic and final.
• Pets: No more than two dogs per unit, each under 75 pounds. Other common house pets are allowed in reasonable numbers. Pets must be leashed (max 6 ft) when outside and must not create noise or nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: General restrictions on parking are covered in Sections 4.12–4.13 (specifics not fully legible). Expect rules against overnight parking on streets, commercial vehicles, and vehicle repair. A full summary requires the complete text of those sections.
• Assessments & fees: All common expenses (maintenance, insurance, utilities not separately metered, reserves) are split equally among all units. Special assessments may be levied. Unpaid assessments result in a lien and enforcement. A transfer fee is mentioned (Section 7.13).
• Renter protections: Unit owners may lease their units, but the lessee must comply with all rules. The full lease restrictions (minimum term, approval, etc.) are in Section 4.18, which is not fully included here.
