Townley Park

What Townley Park's governing documents say

Townley Park is a single-family home planned community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your lot and house, and a homeowners' association maintains the common areas and enforces the rules. The governing document is a full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply to all owners, residents, and guests.

• Occupancy & residential use: All dwellings must be used only as a single-family residence by a group of persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to three unrelated individuals. Home businesses are allowed only if not visible or detectable from outside, generate minimal traffic, and comply with other conditions.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their lot, but the lease must be in writing, for a term of at least one month, and the owner must provide the association with lease dates, tenant names, and contact info. The association may enforce the lease and even pursue eviction if the lease violates the rules.
• Pets: Reasonable numbers of dogs, cats, and common domestic birds are allowed as pets, but they must be confined to your lot or kept on a leash no longer than six feet when outside. Owners must clean up droppings, prevent excessive noise, and may not keep cages visible from neighboring property. The board can later restrict pet size and number.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change or improvement visible from neighboring property (including landscaping, paint, fences, solar panels) requires prior written board approval. The board may disapprove based on aesthetics alone, and decisions are final. Approval takes up to 60 days; the board may require a security deposit.
• Vehicles & parking: Commercial vehicles, boats, RVs, campers, and trailers may not be parked where visible from neighboring property except for temporary loading/unloading (24 hours) or with board approval. Family vehicles (e.g., pickup trucks used for personal purposes) are allowed.
• Signs & flags: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited, with exceptions: one small address sign, one for-sale or for-rent sign, political signs (max 9 sq ft, up to 71 days before an election and 3 days after), and flags allowed by Arizona law (with board approval for flagpole height and location).
• Nuisances & maintenance: Owners must keep their lot clean and free of debris, odors, and loud noises. All improvements must be maintained in good repair. Damaged structures must be immediately repaired or demolished. The board determines what constitutes a nuisance.
