Troon Highlands Estates

What Troon Highlands Estates's governing documents say

Troon Highlands Estates is a master-planned single-family residential community in Scottsdale, Arizona where you own your individual lot and home, subject to extensive HOA control through architectural review and strict use and design restrictions. The association manages common areas, perimeter walls, and landscaping, funded by required per-lot assessments; the developer retains elevated voting control until 90 days after 50 resident-owners exist or 10 years pass.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit and are responsible for maintaining your home's exterior in good condition consistent with community standards. The association maintains common areas, shared perimeter walls, landscaping, and drainage easements.
• Architectural review & design control: Nearly all exterior changes—additions, new structures, HVAC units, antennas, signs, and decorative yard items—require architectural committee approval. Front yards cannot display decorative "hardscape" items such as chairs, wagon wheels, plastic plants, animal figurines, or farm equipment; any ornamental yard additions require approval.
• Use restrictions: Property must be used for residential and recreational purposes only. A "single family" is defined as persons related by blood or marriage, or up to 3 unrelated people sharing a household. Temporary structures, commercial activity, and certain vehicles are restricted.
• Assessments & HOA fees: Annual assessments per lot fund maintenance, insurance, and operations; the board may also levy special assessments (such as for damage repair). Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and may be enforced through foreclosure.
• Governance & voting: Owners automatically become members with one vote per lot. The developer initially holds Class B voting rights (3× multiplier) until 90 days after 50 resident-owners exist or 10 years pass, whichever is first. If multiple people own one lot, they must designate a single voter.
• Insurance requirements: The association obtains hazard and liability insurance for common areas and all insurable structures. Individual owners must provide their own fire, theft, and liability insurance on their homes and personal property.
• Leasing & tenant rights: Leasing is permitted; lessees can be assigned the owner's voting rights if the lease agreement provides for it. A lessee is bound by all the community's use restrictions and design covenants.
• Party walls: For homes with shared walls, general law applies to repair and maintenance; owners share responsibility for party wall repair and maintenance.
