Valle Escondido Condominiums

What Valle Escondido Condominiums's governing documents say

Valle Escondido is a residential condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the common elements (building exterior, grounds, recreational facilities). The community is governed by this 1985 declaration, which sets out unit obligations, association powers, and use restrictions. Key rules cover assessments, maintenance, leasing, pets, and architectural changes.

• Assessments & fees: All units pay equal regular monthly assessments. The initial maximum was $200 per month per unit. Annual increases are limited to 5% or the CPI change, whichever is greater, unless two-thirds of owners approve a higher increase. Capital improvement and special assessments require a two-thirds vote. Delinquent assessments accrue 12% interest and a late charge, and may trigger a lien, foreclosure, suspension of voting rights, and loss of recreational privileges.
• What you own & maintain: You own the interior finished surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings) and your appliances, fixtures, and utilities within the unit. You must maintain your unit, including windows, doors, screens, plumbing, and HVAC. The association maintains all common elements (building structure, grounds, utilities, recreational areas). Any damage caused by an owner's misuse is charged back to that owner.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted, but the document's Section 8.14 (Leases) is not fully legible in the excerpt. No specific term minimum or restriction is clearly stated in the provided text. (Check the full document for exact lease rules.)
• Pets: The document includes a section on animals (Section 8.13), but the detailed rules (limits, types, restrictions) are not readable in this excerpt. Refer to the full declaration for pet policies.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes, additions, or structures (fences, awnings, antennas, patio enclosures) may be made without written approval from the board. Plans must show design, materials, and location to ensure harmony with the community.
• Parking: Each unit has an assigned exclusive parking space (shown on the plat and deed). The board may manage any unassigned spaces, including designating guest parking or leasing to owners.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. Signs (except official or security signs) are prohibited. No nuisances, temporary structures, external laundering, or outdoor speakers/amplifiers are allowed. Window coverings visible from outside must be approved. Unsightly items must not be stored on patios or balconies.
