The Oaks I

What The Oaks I's governing documents say

The Oaks I is a planned residential community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association. This document is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all lot owners. It establishes the HOA, assessments, use restrictions, and maintenance responsibilities.

• HOA membership & voting: Every lot owner automatically becomes a member of The Oaks Homeowners Association. Each lot gets one vote; the developer (Declarant) gets three votes per lot until most lots are sold. Voting rights can be suspended for nonpayment or default.
• Assessments & fees: All lots pay annual assessments set by the Board, plus possible special assessments. The initial maximum annual assessment was $360 per lot; increases can follow the Consumer Price Index or be approved by a two-thirds vote. Assessments are a lien on the lot if unpaid.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and residence interior. The HOA maintains exteriors, roofs, common areas, landscaping, streets, and recreational facilities. Owners maintain interiors, patios, and termite control.
• Architectural review: Exterior additions, alterations, fences, and structures need written approval from the HOA Board (or its designee) within 30 days. Plans and specs must be submitted; if no response in 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No temporary structures, business activities, or commercial animal breeding. No exterior antennas without approval. No trucks, buses, or boats outside garages. Signs limited to one 5 sq. ft. 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets may be kept but not bred or maintained for commercial purposes.
• Party walls: Where residences share a party wall, both owners share repair costs. Alterations require written consent from the adjoining owner. Disputes go to arbitration.
• Leasing & rentals: The document allows owners to delegate use of common areas to tenants, but no specific lease term minimum or restriction on renting is stated.
