Sweetwater Ranch Foothills

What Sweetwater Ranch Foothills's governing documents say

Sweetwater Ranch Foothills Unit II is a planned residential community in Phoenix, AZ, consisting of individually owned lots with attached homes (party walls). Owners are automatically members of the Sweetwater Ranch Foothills Unit II Association, which maintains common areas and enforces deed restrictions. This is a standard homeowner association (HOA) — not a condominium — so you own your lot and the home on it, but share responsibility for party walls and common elements.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the residential unit on it. The association maintains the common area (landscaping, perimeter walls, drainage easements, and certain public right-of-way areas). Owners are responsible for their own lots and interior maintenance.
• Party walls: Party walls between attached homes are shared. Owners must contribute to repair and maintenance proportionally. General rules of law apply, and the right to contribution runs with the land.
• Assessments & fees: General assessments are paid semi-annually (Jan 1 and Jul 1). For 1986, the maximum was $15/month per lot. Annual increases are capped at the Consumer Price Index increase unless two-thirds of members vote for more. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote. Delinquent assessments accrue 10% interest and become a lien on the lot.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) reviews plans for exterior changes. Owners must submit plans for approval before making alterations to lots or structures.
• Use restrictions (leasing, pets, vehicles): The declaration includes restrictions on renting/leasing, pets, vehicles, antennas, basketball goals, temporary structures, outdoor burning, and nuisances. Specific details (e.g., minimum lease term, pet limits) are not fully legible in the excerpt.
• Insurance: The association carries hazard insurance on common area improvements, comprehensive general liability (minimum $1M per occurrence), and flood insurance if applicable. Owners must insure their own lot structures and personal property. Any insurance deficiency may be assessed to all owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is incomplete—entire sections (e.g., exact leasing terms, pet restrictions, vehicle rules) are not fully legible. The document also does not specify age restrictions, rental caps, or any affordable housing requirements.
