The Landing at Reid's Ranch

What The Landing at Reid's Ranch's governing documents say

The Landing at Reid’s Ranch is a single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ — you own your lot and house, and the association maintains shared common areas and enforces community rules. This document (the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) establishes the HOA, assessment requirements, architectural controls, and use restrictions that apply to all owners, residents, and guests.

• Assessments & fees: Initial base assessment is $150 per month per lot, with annual increases limited to 20% without approval from a majority of Class A members and the Class B member (developer). The board may also levy special assessments, which require 75% disapproval vote to block. A one-time reserve impound fee of 1/6 the annual assessment and a transfer fee (set by the board) are due upon purchase.
• Architectural & exterior changes: All exterior work — including construction, painting (unless restoring original colors), landscaping, fences, and structural alterations — must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee. Applications are reviewed within 30 days; failure to respond triggers deemed approval after a follow-up notice. Construction must start within 12 months of approval and finish within one year.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted, but the board may require a minimum lease term up to 12 months. No rule can prohibit leasing or transfer, and the board cannot charge unreasonable fees. Lease forms may be standardized by the association, and tenants must comply with all rules.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Front yard (Open Yard) must be landscaped within 90 days of ownership. All landscaping in the Open Yard requires architectural approval; Private Yard landscaping does not, unless visible from neighboring property. Owners must maintain their lot neatly; failure can result in a daily $50 fine and lien after 30 days’ notice.
• Fences & walls: Fences require approval and are limited to 6 feet in height. Boundary fences are jointly maintained by adjoining owners, except if one owner causes damage. The association maintains fences adjoining common area unless damage is caused by an owner. Exterior color and design cannot be changed without approval.
• Use restrictions & rule adoption: The board can adopt, modify, or repeal use rules after 5 days’ notice; rules take effect unless disapproved by more than 50% of Class A members and the Class B member. Rules cannot ban leasing/transfer, restrict political signs (may regulate time/place/manner), restrict religious/holiday displays inside, or interfere with household composition (except limiting occupants based on unit size).
• Enforcement & penalties: The association may impose fines, suspend voting rights and common area use, and place liens on the lot for unpaid assessments or rule violations. Interest accrues at 10% per annum (or higher rate allowed by law) plus late charges and attorney’s fees.
