Tonto Vista

What Tonto Vista's governing documents say

Tonto Vista is a subdivision of single-family residential lots in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a declaration of restrictions recorded in 1983. These restrictions apply to the described lots and run with the land, binding current and future owners. They are a partial document that covers basic land-use rules but do not establish a homeowners association or set assessments.

• Permitted structures: Only single-family residences with an attached garage and usual outbuildings (e.g., for employees or servants domiciled with the owner/tenant) are allowed. The ground floor area of the residence (excluding open porches, terraces, and garages) must be at least 800 square feet.
• Use restrictions: All lots are for residential purposes only. No business, manufacturing, commercial, or nuisance activity is permitted.
• Prohibited dwelling types: Trailers, basements, shacks, garages, barns, or other outbuildings cannot be used as a residence, temporarily or permanently. No temporary structures may be used as a residence.
• Pets & animals: No fowl or animals other than 'usual and common pets' (such as birds, cats, and dogs) in reasonable numbers may be kept on any lot.
• Enforcement: Any lot owner in the described subdivision may sue to enforce these restrictions, seek injunctions, or recover damages for violations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not create a homeowners association, set assessments or fees, establish an architectural review committee, impose leasing or rental restrictions, or address parking, noise, or maintenance obligations beyond the recorded deed restrictions.
