What Sossaman Estates's governing documents say

Sossaman Estates is a single-family home community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all homeowners, residents, and guests. It establishes rules for residential use, architectural control, parking, pets, and other property standards, enforced by the Association and its Architectural Committee.

• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement or change visible from neighboring property requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. This includes buildings, fences, paint colors, landscaping, and solar panels. The Committee has broad discretion to approve or deny based on harmony with the community. Emergency repairs and certain small antennas are exempt.
• Parking & vehicles: Motor vehicles must be parked inside the garage on your lot. Street parking is limited to 72 consecutive hours for emergencies. Recreational vehicles, boats, campers, and trailers cannot be stored anywhere on the property, even in garages. Inoperable vehicles and repairs visible from neighboring property are prohibited. Guest parking is limited to 72 hours within a 7-day period unless otherwise approved.
• Pets: Household pets are allowed, with a maximum of two dogs, two cats, or a combined total of three dogs and cats. Animals must be kept enclosed, leashed, or restrained and not create a nuisance. No structures for animal housing are permitted if visible from neighboring property. Owners must clean up after their pets.
• Residential use & business activities: All lots and units must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Limited home-based businesses are allowed if they are not visible or detectable from outside, do not generate excessive traffic, and comply with all laws. Leasing of an entire lot is permitted, but no lease may be for less than the entire lot. Short-term rentals are not explicitly prohibited, but the lease must cover the entire property.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner is subject to annual assessments levied by the Association, as well as potential special assessments and cable service assessments. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and are secured by a lien on the property. Failure to pay can result in suspension of common area access and voting rights. A transfer fee may also apply.
• General restrictions: No nuisances, rubbish, or odors allowed. Clotheslines, basketball hoops, and rooftop air conditioners are prohibited. Temporary buildings (e.g., construction trailers) may remain up to 12 months with approval. Signs are limited to approved for-sale signs and residence identification. Solar panels require approval and must be screened when possible. Variances may be granted by the Architectural Committee under certain conditions.
