What Sweetwater Vistas's governing documents say
Sweetwater Vistas is a residential community in Phoenix, AZ where you own an individual lot and residence. An Association maintains common areas and enforces extensive covenants on architecture, use, and resident conduct, funded by annual per-lot assessments. These rules bind all owners and their lessees.
- What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and residence; the Association maintains common areas, carries master insurance, and funds upkeep through annual per-lot assessments. You remain responsible for your lot's appearance within Association guidelines.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be at least 30 days; short-term and vacation rentals are prohibited. Lessees are bound by all Association rules, and owners remain responsible for lessee compliance.
- Pets: Up to two domestic pets (dogs, cats, parakeets, or similar birds) are allowed without Board approval. Dogs over 40 pounds require prior permission. All pets must stay confined to your lot.
- Architectural review & modifications: The Architectural Committee must approve any external change visible from neighboring property—including paint, landscaping, additions, antennas, basketball goals, and fences. Applications are decided within 30 days; unanswered applications are deemed approved.
- Parking & vehicles: RVs, boats, trailers, and oversized vehicles cannot be parked visibly on your lot. Temporary parking of such vehicles is limited to 24 consecutive hours (48 hours per 7-day period) on your driveway. Guest vehicles may park on community streets for up to 12 hours.
- Residential use only: Lots must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Home-based businesses are allowed only if completely invisible from outside, involve no outside visitors, comply with zoning, and do not threaten community safety or character.
- Property maintenance standards: Properties must be kept neat and tidy. During construction, materials must be stored in approved areas and temporary structures removed within 12 months. Garages must retain parking space for at least one car.
