Springtree II

What Springtree II's governing documents say

Springtree II is a single-family residential subdivision in Gilbert, Arizona, governed by a homeowners association. You own your individual lot and home; the Association maintains common areas through annual per-lot assessments. The developer retains control for up to 6 years; then owners take over the Association.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and detached home. The Association maintains common areas including the median island, drainage/retention tracts, and equestrian trail, funded by assessments. If your actions damage common areas, you pay for repairs.
• Assessments: Initial annual assessment was $378 per lot; from 1998 onward, the Board sets the amount subject to annual limits (no more than 10% or CPI increase without a vote). Larger increases require a 2/3 owner vote. Late payments incur a 10% penalty plus 10% annual interest.
• Developer control period: The developer (Declarant) holds controlling votes for up to 6 years from the first lot sale. During this period, the developer controls Association policy and can use common areas for sales purposes at no charge. After 6 years (or sooner if owners gain a voting majority), owners take full control.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee must approve exterior changes, including fences, roofs, landscaping, mailboxes, and window coverings. The Committee enforces design guidelines and determines whether changes meet visibility and screening standards.
• Household composition: Homes may be occupied by one or more persons related by blood, marriage, or legal adoption. Alternatively, up to four unrelated adult persons may live together in a single home.
• Common area use: You have a non-exclusive right to use common areas. The Association can charge fees for use, limit guests, and restrict pets. Unpaid assessments or rule violations can result in suspension of your common area usage rights.
• Restrictions on property use: The document restricts outdoor storage, hazardous materials, outdoor burning, fuel tanks, commercial/recreational vehicles, vehicle repairs, and woodpiles on your lot. Many changes require Architectural Committee approval or must be screened from neighboring properties.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is an excerpt of the full Declaration. Not detailed here are sections covering pet/animal rules, specific leasing restrictions, minimum dwelling size requirements, and other regulatory provisions.
