Songran Highlands

What Songran Highlands's governing documents say

Songran Highlands Phase II is a single-family home subdivision (HOA) in Phoenix, AZ — you own your lot and home, and the homeowners association manages common areas, private streets, and enforces covenants. This Declaration sets out the rules for all owners, including architectural control, assessments, and maintenance obligations.

• Architectural review & design control: A Design Review Committee (appointed initially by Declarant) adopts Design Guidelines that regulate all improvements, including building envelopes, time limits for completion, and conformity to approved plans. Fines up to $10,000 may be imposed for noncompliance.
• Assessments & fees: Regular Assessments are uniform per lot and paid quarterly. Special Assessments may be levied for compliance costs, fines, or services. Late payments incur a 25% late charge plus interest at prime rate + 5% (never less than 18% per annum). Delinquent assessments become a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners are responsible for all maintenance, repairs, and replacements within their lot, and must keep the lot free of debris and fire hazards (e.g., brush trimmed within 25 ft of improvements). The association may enter lots for maintenance of common elements or to address fire hazards and charge the owner as a special assessment.
• Insurance: The association carries fidelity bond coverage (minimum of 1/2 annual operating expenses and reserves, or 3 months' assessments plus reserves), workers' compensation if needed, and directors & officers liability insurance. Premiums are common expenses, but increased premiums due to a specific lot's use may be assessed to that owner. Insurance proceeds are held in trust for the association, owners, and members.
• Membership & voting: Every lot owner is a member with one vote per lot. There are two classes: Class A (all owners except Declarant) and Class B (Declarant). The Declarant holds enough Class B votes to control 51% of total votes and appoints all directors until the last lot is sold or Declarant relinquishes. Class A members cannot vote for directors while Class B exists.
