Sombre De Desierto

What Sombre De Desierto's governing documents say

Sombre De Desierto is a single-family residential community in Phoenix, Arizona where you own your individual lot and home. The community is governed by extensive architectural and aesthetic restrictions designed to maintain property values and uniformity. All lot owners are bound by these covenants, and the association maintains common landscaped areas (tracts A, B, and C) through per-lot assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and single-family home; you maintain your home's exterior, landscaping, and grounds. The association maintains common landscaped areas and charges per-lot assessments to cover maintenance, management, insurance, and operations.
• Exterior design & color standards: Strict architectural controls apply: you must use one of four pre-approved exterior paint colors (Dunn-Edwards Sandal, Cashmere, Birchwood, or Tumbleweed) and one of two trim colors (Barley or Capricorn). Roof tiles must be Lifetile Brown Blend. Any exterior change requires written Architectural Committee approval.
• Height & structural restrictions: Maximum roof height is 17 feet above finished floor elevation; no two-story or split-level homes are permitted. Minimum home size is 1,100 square feet of livable floor area.
• Landscaping requirements: The developer initially landscapes front yards; you must maintain landscaping with 24-inch box trees and 5-gallon plants minimum. Rock must be natural earth tone only—white, green, and red rock are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: At least 2 parking spaces within an enclosed garage are required; carports are not permitted. RVs, boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles cannot be visible from neighboring property without approval. Motorcycles must be parked in garages when not in use.
• Leasing & rentals: Minimum lease term is 30 days; short-term and vacation rentals are not permitted. Lessees have common area rights during the lease term.
• Pets: Customary household pets (dogs, cats, household birds) are allowed if they do not create a nuisance. The board has sole discretion to determine whether a particular animal qualifies as a customary household pet.
• Architectural review & enforcement: The Architectural Committee must approve all exterior changes (30-day approval window; deemed approved if not denied within 30 days). Violations can result in fines; there is a $250 penalty for starting construction without prior approval. The association can perform maintenance and charge owners costs plus 12% annual interest.
