Via Vista

What Via Vista's governing documents say

Via Vista is a single-family residential homeowners association in Phoenix (Maricopa County), Arizona. You own your lot and home; the association maintains the common areas, roadways, perimeter fences, and enforces architectural and use restrictions. Nearly all exterior changes require written architectural approval, and assessments are levied annually per lot.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and residential unit; the association maintains common areas (Tracts A, B, C), roadways, perimeter fences, guard gates, and easement areas not maintained by the county or town. You must keep your building, landscaping, and lot in good condition and repair.
• Architectural approval: Nearly all exterior work requires written approval from the Architectural Committee—including new construction, color changes, excavation, additions, alterations, and landscaping over 8 feet high. The committee must approve or deny within 45 days; silence equals approval. The committee may charge a review fee.
• Residential use & home business: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. Home-based business is allowed only if: invisible and inaudible from outside, no outside customers or door-to-door solicitation, only family members work there, no employees, and it doesn't constitute a nuisance. The board determines compliance in its sole discretion.
• Pets: Maximum two dogs, three cats, or a reasonable number of parakeets and similar household birds. All pets must be domestic only, confined to your lot (except dogs/cats on a leash ≤6 feet), and may not create noise or nuisance; no animal housing structures may be visible from neighboring property.
• Vehicles & parking: No trucks, mobile homes, trailers, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be visible from neighboring property. Motorcycles and ATVs are allowed only in enclosed garages. Guest vehicles may park on streets for a maximum of 24 consecutive hours. The association may tow any vehicle parked in violation at the owner's expense.
• Signs & flags: No signs visible from neighboring property except: residence identification signs, one "for sale/rent" sign (maximum 18"×24" with optional 6"×24" rider, with approval), one "open house" sign (with approval), and American/military/state/tribal flags displayed per federal flag code and reasonable association rules. Political signs are allowed 45 days before to 7 days after elections, maximum 24"×24" unless local ordinance is less restrictive.
• Landscaping & yard maintenance: You must keep shrubs, trees, grass, and plantings trimmed and free of weeds and trash on your lot and adjacent easement areas. Trash may only be in covered containers, visible only during collection. No outdoor clotheslines, incinerators, or drainage obstruction are permitted.
• Assessments & liens: The association levies annual assessments per lot and may impose special assessments as needed. Non-payment of assessments creates a lien against your lot, which the association may enforce through legal action.
