What The Colony / Colony North's governing documents say
The Colony / Colony North is a planned unit development of townhome-style patio homes in Phoenix, Arizona. You own your individual home and private yard while the association maintains exterior painting and common facilities, funded by monthly assessments. Governing rules set terms for repairs, modifications, leasing, and property use.
- What you own & maintain: You own your patio home interior, roof, exterior walls, private yard, and landscaping within your yard. The association maintains exterior painting of buildings, yard fences, common areas, sprinkler systems, and recreational facilities.
- Party walls & shared wall repairs: Walls shared with adjacent homes must be repaired jointly and costs split in proportion to use, unless one owner caused the damage (who then pays the full cost). Neighbors may enter your private yard at reasonable times to repair their side of the wall.
- Assessments & monthly fees: Assessments start at $35 per month per home and may increase up to 5% annually without a vote; larger increases require a majority vote. Late assessments carry 6% annual interest plus up to $5 monthly late fee; unpaid assessments create a lien on your home.
- Leasing & rentals: Your home may be leased, but the lease must be in writing and the tenant must agree to follow all CC&Rs, bylaws, and association rules. Any breach of these documents by the tenant is a default under the lease.
- Architectural approval & exterior changes: You need written board approval before erecting buildings, adding structures, painting exteriors, installing antennas, or altering your home. The board has 30 days to respond; no response means approval is not required.
- Pets: Dogs, cats, and household pets are permitted but subject to association rules; they cannot be kept for commercial purposes or in unreasonable numbers.
- Use restrictions, parking & vehicles: The property is for residential use only—no business activities or livestock (except household pets). No vehicles, boats, campers, or abandoned vehicles are allowed in common areas or visible from other properties. One "for sale" or "for rent" sign (maximum 5 square feet) is permitted per home.
