The Colony at Canyon Creek

What The Colony at Canyon Creek's governing documents say

The Colony At Canyon Creek is a planned residential community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). It consists of single-family lots, some with attached party walls and private yards, and includes common areas owned by the association. This document establishes the covenants, conditions, and restrictions that bind all owners and residents.

• Architectural review: No exterior changes, additions, or new structures may be made without written approval from the Board or an architectural committee. Plans must be submitted; if not approved or disapproved within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments began at a maximum of $360 per lot, with annual increases of up to 3% without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 51% vote of each membership class. Assessments are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business, commercial, or manufacturing activities are allowed. Temporary structures, trailers, and boats must be kept in an enclosed garage or carport. No noxious or offensive activities that interfere with neighbors' quiet enjoyment.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, subject to association rules, but not for commercial purposes or in unreasonable numbers. No animals that cause annoyance or are obnoxious to residents.
• Parking & vehicles: No automobile, motorcycle, bicycle, or other wheeled toy may be parked or left unattended in common court areas (areas abutting garage areas or appurtenant to lots in each cluster). Certain lots have exclusive use of designated parking spaces (Restricted Common Area).
• Private yards & party walls: Each lot may have exclusive use of one or more private yards (patios), which may be located on the lot, an adjacent lot, or common area. Allowable uses include landscaping, pools, decking, and recreation. Party walls are shared; repair costs are split, except when caused by one owner. Fences on boundaries between private yards are maintained jointly.
• Signs & advertising: No signs or billboards are allowed except one sign per building site, no larger than 18x24 inches, advertising the property for sale or rent, and signs used by the declarant during construction and sales.
• Enforcement & liens: The association or any owner may enforce restrictions by legal proceedings. Delinquent assessments accrue late charges ($5 max) and interest, and may lead to foreclosure. The association may also enter private yards to correct maintenance failures and charge the owner as a lien.
