Summerfield Place IV

What Summerfield Place IV's governing documents say

This is the governing document for Summerfield Place IV, a single-family home subdivision in Glendale, Arizona (part of the Phoenix metro area). It creates a homeowners association (HOA) and sets rules that all lot owners must follow. The rules are designed to protect property values and maintain a uniform residential character.

• What you own & maintain: You own your detached dwelling unit and the lot. You must maintain the unit, yard, and all improvements on your lot in clean, safe condition. The association maintains the common areas (tracts, recreation areas, landscaping) and areas of association responsibility (e.g., certain rights-of-way).
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board and can increase up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require member approval (2/3 vote). Special assessments for capital repairs also need 2/3 approval. Late fees: $15 or 10% of unpaid amount (whichever is greater) after 15 days, plus 12% annual interest. Assessments are a lien on the lot.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (fences, landscaping, paint, additions, etc.) must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee before construction. Plans for front-yard landscaping must include at least one 15-gallon non-deciduous tree. Fences cannot exceed 6 feet in height and must be masonry block unless otherwise approved.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial or recreational vehicles (e.g., boats, RVs, campers, commercial trucks over 1 ton) are generally prohibited unless parked in a screened, designated area. Family vehicles include cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks ≤1 ton; campers and small motorhomes up to 8 feet tall and 18 feet long may be allowed with prior Architectural Committee approval. Overnight parking on streets or in common areas is limited.
• Landscaping & yards: Front yards (public yards) must be landscaped within 90 days of ownership. Plans must be approved by the Architectural Committee. At least one 15-gallon non-deciduous tree is required in the front yard. All landscaping must be maintained neatly; dead trees must be replaced.
• Fences & walls: Fences require Architectural Committee approval, are limited to 6 feet nominal height, and must be masonry block construction unless waived. Maintenance of dividing fences is shared equally between adjoining owners. Gates cannot exceed the height of the adjacent fence.
• Occupancy: A dwelling may be occupied by a single family: persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or a group of up to 4 unrelated adults who maintain a common household. This definition governs who can live in the home, not age or number of children.
