Villa Del Oro II

What Villa Del Oro II's governing documents say

Villa Del Oro II is a townhome community in Phoenix, Arizona — you own your individual unit and share the building's exterior, common grounds, and amenities (maintained by the association), funded by per-unit assessments. The association controls major maintenance, but owners are responsible for interiors, patios, party-wall repairs caused by their negligence, and personal property.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhouse unit's interior, fixtures starting where utilities enter the exterior walls, and your individual patio. The association maintains all building exteriors (painting included), common grounds, landscaping (except patios), and rubbish removal. You're responsible for pest control and any damage to shared party walls caused by your negligence or that of your guests/tenants.
• Homeowners association assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per unit (each unit pays 1/68 of the total) and due within 10 days of notice. Special assessments for capital improvements require approval by the board and 66% of owners voting in person at a meeting. Unpaid assessments accrue interest (at a rate set by the board), become a lien on your property, and can be collected or foreclosed like a mortgage.
• Pet policy: You may keep up to two domestic pets (dogs, cats, or other household pets), provided they are not for commercial purposes. Pets must stay on your lot or be on a leash no longer than 6 feet when off your property. You must dispose of pet waste promptly, and the board can determine whether an animal qualifies as a permitted pet and establish rules for pet-keeping in the community.
• Vehicles & parking: Only motor vehicles no taller than 7 feet and no longer than 18 feet are allowed on your lot, and they cannot display any commercial markings or be used for business. Trucks, RVs, campers, boats, motorcycles, and trailers are prohibited. Guest parking is limited to the common-area parking spaces.
• Architectural review & alterations: Any exterior changes — additions, alterations, fences, hedges, walls, landscaping, lighting, antennas, or color/texture changes — require written board approval before work begins. The board has 60 days to review your submission; if they don't respond within that period, your plans are deemed approved.
• Party walls & shared walls: Walls on the property line between units are shared. If you or your guests cause damage, you must repair it at your own expense within 30 days. If the damage is from other causes (natural wear, theft, fire), you and your neighbor split the repair cost 50/50. Disputes about repair costs or responsibility go to arbitration.
• Damage & repair liability: If you damage common property or another unit's exterior, the association can repair it and bill you. Repair charges become a lien if unpaid within 10 days, accrue interest, and are collectible like assessments. You have 30 days to repair exterior damage to your own unit; if you don't, the association can do it and charge you.
• Insurance requirements: The association insures the building structures and common areas against fire, casualty, and liability; those premiums are a common expense. You must obtain and maintain your own insurance on your unit's exterior, carport, and storage area, and separate insurance for personal property and theft — the association's insurance covers only common elements and the building shell.
