Sunset Trails IV

What Sunset Trails IV's governing documents say

Sunset Trails IV is a standard single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ — you own your lot and house; the association maintains common areas and enforces rules through assessments and an architectural review process. This document is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions that binds all owners.

• Architectural review: All exterior changes to your lot or home (including landscaping, fences, paint, and structures) must be approved in writing by the Design Review Committee before starting; if no response within 30 days of a complete application, approval is deemed given.
• Home-based business: You may run a business from home as long as it's not visible or audible from outside, doesn't increase traffic, and complies with zoning—leasing your home is not considered a business.
• Pets: Only usual domestic pets allowed; no commercial breeding; dogs must be leashed outside an enclosed yard, and you must immediately clean up feces on common areas.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your home to a single family tenant, but the lease must be in writing, acknowledge the governing documents, and you must provide the association with tenant info at least 10 days before move-in. You remain liable for tenant violations.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages or driveways, not on streets; no inoperable vehicles, boats, RVs, or trailers visible from neighboring property or common areas; repair work is limited to emergencies only.
• Signs: Only one 'For Sale' or 'For Lease' sign per home (max 432 sq in) and one small identification sign (max 72 sq in) are allowed with prior committee approval; political and commercial signs are generally prohibited.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $457.80 per year (prorated at first sale). Without owner approval, the annual assessment cannot increase more than 20% over the previous year, except to cover higher insurance, taxes, or utility costs. The board can also levy special assessments for capital improvements.
• Guest stays: Guests or invitees may stay no more than 30 total days per calendar year in your home; employees may not live on the property.
