Sonoran Gate

What Sonoran Gate's governing documents say

Sonoran Gate is a planned residential community in Phoenix, AZ. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) creates a homeowners' association (HOA) and binds all lot owners, residents, and lessees to its rules. It covers architectural control, assessments, use restrictions, maintenance duties, and dispute resolution.

• Architectural review & approval: Any construction or exterior modification to a lot (including landscaping, fences, pools, and color changes) requires prior written approval from a Design Review Committee, which can deny proposals based on aesthetics alone. The committee may charge a review fee and require a compliance deposit. No changes allowed without approval.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies regular assessments (same amount per lot) and special assessments (if approved by 67% of voting owners after the declarant control period). Late payments incur 10% annual interest plus late fees. The HOA has a lien on each lot for unpaid assessments and can charge collection costs. The declarant is exempt from assessments on its unsold lots.
• Rental restrictions: The document references 'Rental of Lots' in the table of contents but the text is cut off. Based on available content, there is no explicit minimum lease term or percentage cap stated. (Note: the full rental section is not legible; consult the complete document for details.)
• Vehicle & parking rules: All vehicles must be 'Permitted Motor Vehicles' (cars, SUVs, pickups, motorcycles, jeeps, station wagons) and not used for commercial purposes. The text references garages, but no specific parking or street parking rules are detailed. The association may adopt rules.
• Pet rules: The document has a section on animals (Section 8.5 in table of contents) but the text is garbled and incomplete. No specific pet limits or restrictions are readable. Consult the full document.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The HOA maintains common areas and 'Areas of Association Responsibility' (including private streets, common tracts, and certain lot improvements as designated). Lot owners are responsible for maintaining their own lots, including residential structures, landscaping, and interior. The HOA can enter lots for inspections and to correct violations.
• Dispute resolution: Disputes (including construction defect claims) must first go through mediation and binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. This applies to claims against the declarant, association, or other owners. Owners agree to resolve covered claims without litigation.
