Sterling Grove

What Sterling Grove's governing documents say

Sterling Grove is a master-planned community in Phoenix, Arizona (developed by Toll Prasada LLC) comprising single-family homes and condominium units on individual lots. The Sterling Grove Community Association owns and maintains common areas and enforces this declaration against all property owners. This governing document establishes the framework for the community's rules, architecture, assessments, and governance—with additional specific requirements in exhibits and supplemental documents.

• Mandatory golf club membership: All lot owners must be members of the Sterling Grove Golf Club and pay membership contributions, transfer fees, and other charges specified in the Club Membership Plan Documents—a material cost of ownership.
• Landscaping requirement: Owners must install landscaping on their lots within 60 days of receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. If an owner fails to do so, the developer can have the landscaping installed and charge the owner for all costs.
• Architectural review & approval: All visible improvements, exterior alterations, and landscaping changes require advance written approval before work begins. While the developer owns property, it has sole approval authority; after that, an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) reviews applications for design harmony and aesthetic compliance.
• Assessments & dues: Owners pay multiple assessments: Base Assessments for general common expenses, Neighborhood Assessments for neighborhood-specific costs, Special and Specific Assessments for additional needs, plus mandatory golf club membership fees and transfer fees. The Association sets these in the annual budget.
• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and are responsible for maintaining it. The Association maintains all common areas, community improvements, and easements, funded by assessments from all owners.
• Neighborhood structure: The community may be divided into separate Neighborhoods for different housing types or benefits. Some Neighborhoods may have their own Neighborhood Associations to manage shared amenities and expenses—though the master Association retains jurisdiction over the overall community.
• Warranties on common areas: The developer warrants common-area construction for limited periods: one year on materials and workmanship, two years on systems, and ten years on structural elements. Other implied warranties are expressly disclaimed.
• This document's scope: This is the foundational CC&R declaration, but not a complete rulebook. The actual rules, architectural guidelines, and requirements are set forth in exhibits and separate governing documents (Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, Architectural Guidelines, and Initial Use Restrictions). Owners should obtain copies of those documents for specific rules.
