Stratton Place

What Stratton Place's governing documents say

Stratton Place is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains common areas and enforces restrictions. All lots are for single-family residential use only, and the HOA has the power to levy assessments and impose rules.

• HOA structure & membership: Every lot owner is a member of Stratton Place Homeowners' Association. Each lot gets one vote; the developer had a separate class B membership that converted to class A by 1991.
• Assessments (fees): Annual assessments start at a maximum of $408 per lot (until Jan 1988), can increase up to 10% or CPI change (whichever is greater) without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote of each class. Assessments are a personal obligation and a lien on the lot.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee must approve any exterior improvements, alterations, or landscaping visible from neighboring property. Plans submitted are deemed approved if not acted upon within 30 days. The committee can set rules for design, colors, and materials.
• Use restrictions: Lots are single-family only. No businesses, no temporary structures, no antennas visible from neighboring property. Pets limited to a reasonable number of domestic house pets kept as pets only, not for commercial purposes. No clotheslines visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles over 3/4 ton, no boats, trailers, or campers may be parked visibly. Pickup trucks under 3/4 ton and mini motorhomes under 7 feet high and 18 feet long are allowed if used for regular transportation. On-street parking is discouraged; parking should be in garages or driveways.
• Signs: No signs except one temporary 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign up to 5 square feet, and a name/address sign up to 9x30 inches.
• Common area rights & maintenance: Owners have an easement to use common areas, subject to rules. The HOA maintains common areas and must carry liability insurance of at least $1,000,000. Owners are responsible for their own property insurance.
• Party walls & fences: Adjoining owners share responsibility for party walls/fences. Damage caused by an owner's act is their cost; wear and tear is shared by frontage. Disputes go to the Board.
