Sunrise Trail

What Sunrise Trail's governing documents say

Sunrise Trail is a planned single-family home community in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements binds all property owners, setting rules for use, maintenance, assessments, and architectural control to preserve community standards.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit. You are responsible for maintenance, repair, and replacement of your lot, home, landscaping, and other improvements. The Association maintains the common areas and has the right to perform emergency maintenance on your lot if needed.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments started at $1,500 per lot (paid in $125 monthly installments) and can increase annually by the greater of CPI or 10%, subject to member approval for larger increases. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote. At purchase, owners (excluding Declarant) pay a Reserve Fund Contribution and a Working Capital Contribution, each equal to 1/6 of the annual assessment. A transfer fee set by the Board is also due upon sale.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee (appointed initially by Declarant) approves or disapproves all exterior changes, including buildings, fences, landscaping, and other improvements. You must submit plans and receive written approval before starting any work. The Committee may adopt Architectural and Landscape Design Guidelines.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business or trade allowed. No further subdivision of lots. Trailers, boats, aircraft, and inoperable vehicles must be stored out of sight or as permitted by rules. Nuisances, obnoxious activities, and certain visible items (e.g., clotheslines, antennas) are restricted. Parking and storage are subject to Association rules.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted but subject to restrictions (see Section 8.1.29). The Declaration does not specify a minimum lease term; the Association may adopt rules governing leasing, tenant obligations, and occupancy.
• Enforcement & liens: Unpaid assessments become a lien on your lot, subordinate only to property tax liens and first mortgages. The Association can sue to collect, add interest at 10% per annum, late fees, and attorney’s costs. It may also suspend voting rights and common area use for violations.
• Property rights & common area: Owners have non-exclusive easements to use the common area for recreation and access, subject to Association rules and suspension for non-payment. The Association can grant utility easements and, with owner approval, change or transfer common area. Owners have rights of ingress/egress over streets and sidewalks.
• Insurance: Each owner must maintain liability insurance for their lot and household in amounts common for the Phoenix area. The Association carries master insurance for common areas and structures.
