Ten Cliffs

What Ten Cliffs's governing documents say

Ten Cliffs is a planned lot-based residential community in Phoenix, Arizona, where you own your individual lot and home while the association maintains shared common elements like landscaping, parking, and tennis courts. The community enforces mandatory assessments, architectural controls, and deed restrictions to preserve it as an exclusive single-family residential district.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling; you maintain all landscaping and structures on your property. The association maintains all common elements (parking, tennis courts, landscaping) at a high standard of care.
• Annual & special assessments: Annual assessments are capped at $1,000 per lot. The Board can increase assessments by up to 5% per year without a vote; increases above 5% require approval from at least 13 lot owners. Special assessments for capital improvements may also be levied.
• Voting & membership: You automatically become an association member upon purchasing a lot, with one vote per lot. Your voting rights suspend if you fall 15 days behind on assessments or other obligations until brought current.
• Architectural review required: All exterior additions, alterations, fences, and landscaping changes require written Board approval. Submit plans showing nature, shape, height, materials, location, and cost. The Board has 30 days to respond; if no response, approval is deemed granted.
• Minimum home size & single-family only: Each lot requires a minimum 1,600 square feet of ground floor area (excluding garage and porches). Only one detached single-family dwelling is permitted per lot; quarters for servants, caretakers, or guests are allowed if they comply with local laws.
• Prohibited uses & activities: No business activity is permitted on your lot (except as allowed by association rules). No livestock, poultry, or trailers except pickup trucks. Utility lines must be underground. Only for-sale, for-rent, security, and political signs are permitted.
• Damage liability & repair liens: If damage to common elements is caused by you, your family, guests, or tenants, you must repay the association for repairs and legal fees. Unpaid repair charges become a lien on your lot at 7% annual interest if not paid within 10 days.
