Viavista

What Viavista's governing documents say

Viavista is a single-family home community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) is the main rulebook for owners, residents, and guests. It covers architectural standards, land use, and association powers, but does not include specific rules about leasing or age restrictions.

• Architectural review: Any exterior change—construction, painting, landscaping, or additions—requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Approval is deemed granted if the committee does not respond within 30 days of a complete application. The committee may charge a fee (left blank in this document).
• Residential use & business restrictions: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside (no sight, sound, or smell), involve no outside customers or employees (except family members), and comply with zoning. No commercial vehicles, signs, or activities are permitted on lots.
• Pets: Up to 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a reasonable number of caged birds are allowed as domestic pets. Pets must be kept on the owner’s lot and leashed (max 6 feet) when off the lot. Breeding for commercial purposes is prohibited. The Architectural Committee can declare any animal a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be parked where visible from neighboring property unless inside an enclosed garage. Motorcycles and off-road vehicles must be garaged. Inoperable vehicles and commercial vehicles over 7 ft tall or 18 ft long are prohibited. Street parking is limited to 24 consecutive hours.
• Signs: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited. Exceptions include signs required by law, approved residence identification signs, and one approved ‘Open House’ sign. All signs must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee.
• Assessments: The association levies annual and special assessments on each lot to cover common expenses. Assessments create a lien on the property if unpaid. A transfer fee may be charged to new owners (amount not specified). The association maintains common areas and may impose fines for violations.
• Single-family occupancy limit: A ‘Single Family’ is defined as persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or a group of up to 3 unrelated persons living together as a household. This limits the number of unrelated occupants per home.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not set a minimum lease term or restrict rental of homes; leasing is allowed but subject to all other rules. There is no age restriction (not a 55+ community). Rules about pools, clubhouses, or specific recreational amenities are not detailed here.
