What Signal Butte Manor's governing documents say
Signal Butte Manor is a single-family residential HOA community in Phoenix, AZ established in 1999. You own your individual lot fee-simple and share common areas maintained by the association, funded by per-lot assessments. All exterior changes require approval from the Architectural Committee, whose decisions are final.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the association maintains common areas and private access ways. You are solely responsible for maintaining your lot and improvements not maintained by the association, and must repair any damage you cause to common areas.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessment started at $360/lot (1999) and can increase annually by the greater of CPI or 10%; increases beyond that need 2/3 member vote. New purchasers pay a one-time working capital fund equal to 1/6 of the annual assessment, plus a transfer fee set by the Board.
- Architectural review & restrictions: All exterior improvements—fences, landscaping, antennas, storage sheds, gazebos, signs, roof equipment—require prior Architectural Committee approval, which is final and not subject to owner appeal. Front yard landscaping must be installed within 90 days of purchase (one tree 15+ gal, five plants 5+ gal, ground cover, irrigation).
- Parking & vehicles: All vehicles must be kept in garages, driveways, or designated areas and not visible from neighboring property. No trailers, campers, or vehicles over 3/4 ton (except pickup trucks ≤3/4 ton with camper shells under 7 feet) visible from neighboring property. Association can tow violating vehicles at owner's expense.
- Pets: A reasonable number of domestic pets allowed; the Board determines what qualifies as a pet versus a nuisance. Pets must not make excessive noise, and any animal housing must not be visible from neighboring property.
- Home-based business: You may conduct business from your home if it is not apparent by sight, sound, or smell from outside; conforms to zoning; involves no visitor traffic to the lot; and is consistent with the residential character of the community.
- Voting & governance: Lot owners (Class A) have one vote per lot. The original builder (Declarant/Class B) had three votes per Class A vote until January 1, 2003, when this right automatically converted to Class A status. Major financial decisions require 2/3 member vote.
- Assessment liens & enforcement: Unpaid assessments create a lien on your lot and the association can foreclose. Assessments delinquent more than 15 days incur late charges; the association sends a 10-day demand before recording a lien. Liens are subordinate to first mortgages but senior to all other claims.
