Sunrise at Stetson Hills

What Sunrise at Stetson Hills's governing documents say

Sunrise at Stetson Hills is a master-planned, single-family residential community in Phoenix where you own your individual lot and home but share common areas managed by the association through annual per-lot assessments (which create liens if unpaid). The community enforces design standards via a Design Review Committee and restricts pets (100 lbs max), vehicles (no trucks or boats), guests (30 days per year), and exterior modifications (all requiring approval).

• Architectural Review & Exterior Changes: The Design Review Committee must approve all exterior alterations—including landscaping, fences, walls, exterior colors, roof equipment, and grade changes—before work begins. No changes to approved plans are allowed without written approval.
• Landscaping Requirements: Owners must complete landscaping of all visible portions of their lot within 6 months of purchase. If not completed, the association can perform the landscaping at the owner's expense, with costs added to the property's assessment lien.
• Pets: Domestic pets are allowed in reasonable numbers, but each pet is limited to 100 pounds (unless a service animal for a disabled resident). Pets cannot be a nuisance, and animal structures cannot be visible from neighboring properties.
• Leasing & Guest Policies: The entire dwelling can be rented to a single-family tenant. Guests—including rental tenants' family members—are limited to 30 days per calendar year. No employees may live on the property.
• Vehicles & Parking: Vehicles exceeding one ton, trucks, trailers, campers, boats, and mobile homes cannot be parked or stored visibly from neighboring properties or common areas. All vehicles must be parked in garages, carports, or driveways, not on streets. Vehicle repair or construction on the property is prohibited.
• Party Walls & Adjacent Lots: Owners of adjacent lots share party walls and fences. If one owner's actions damage a party wall, that owner bears the full repair cost. If damage results from other causes, all adjacent owners share repair costs proportionally based on lot frontage.
• Annual Assessments & Liens: The association levies annual assessments per lot for common-area maintenance and may assess special charges for capital improvements. Delinquent payments create a lien against the property and may result in suspension of voting rights and common-area access.
• Common Areas & Amenities: Owners have an easement right to use common areas and facilities. The association may charge special use fees for certain amenities and can regulate common-area use through rules. Access privileges can be suspended for delinquent assessments or rule violations.
