The Reserve at Plaza Del Rio

What The Reserve at Plaza Del Rio's governing documents say

The Reserve at Plaza Del Rio is a standard single-family-home HOA in Phoenix, AZ — you own your lot and house in fee simple. This Declaration sets the community rules, but it sits under a master-planned community (Plaza Del Rio) with a separate Master Association whose rules also apply and control if there's a conflict. The document covers what you can do with your property, how the HOA is run, and your obligations for assessments and maintenance.

• Residential use & home businesses: Lots are for single-family residential use only. A 'Single Family' means one person, a group of two or more related by blood/marriage/adoption, or up to three unrelated persons. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve no customer visits beyond mail/parcel delivery, and are not a nuisance.
• Pets & animals: Only reasonable numbers of common house pets are allowed. Pets must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off your lot and cannot be a nuisance. No pet relief on other lots or common areas; owner must immediately remove droppings. Structures for pets must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Architectural review & exterior changes: Any exterior alteration (paint, landscaping, play sets, sheds) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee (ARC). Plans must also get city/county approval if needed. The ARC can require a security deposit for new construction or rebuilds. Unapproved changes may be removed at owner expense.
• Parking & vehicles: No trailers, RVs, boats, or vehicles over 1 ton may be parked where visible from neighboring property, common areas, or streets (except pickup trucks with camper shells under 7 ft). Only operating vehicles may be parked in driveways; non-operating vehicles are not allowed unless repairs are imminent. No vehicle repair or construction on the property.
• Signs: Signs are restricted unless allowed by Arizona law. Permitted signs: one residential ID sign (≤80 sq in), one security sign (≤80 sq in), one 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign (≤5 sq ft). All other signs need ARC approval.
• Assessments & fees: Each owner pays annual assessments (budget set by board, max annual increase 20% without a 67% vote of members; higher increases allowed for insurance, taxes, utilities, or master assessments). Late fee: $25/month or 10% of delinquent amount, whichever is greater. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. New purchasers pay a working capital fee, initiation fee, and reserve contribution.
• Common walls & boundary walls: Rules govern shared walls between lots (common walls) and walls between a lot and common area (boundary walls). If a wall is damaged by an owner, that owner pays. If damaged by other causes, costs are shared equally between adjoining owners (for common walls) or between owner and HOA (for boundary walls). The HOA maintains boundary walls and can recover costs.
• Nuisances & noise: No nuisance or offensive activity is allowed. No exterior speakers, horns, bells, or fireworks (except security devices). Construction debris must be in enclosed metal containers and removed promptly. Owners must keep lots in good repair; HOA can make repairs and charge owner if not done after 14 days' notice.
