Villa Valencia HOA

What Villa Valencia HOA's governing documents say

This is the Bylaws of Villa Valencia Homeowners Association, Inc., a standard single‑family HOA (community listed as Phoenix, AZ, though the document references New Mexico). The Bylaws define how the association is governed—board elections, meetings, voting, and committees—but do not contain the specific use restrictions for homeowners (e.g., pets, leasing, architectural standards). Those rules are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which is not provided. This document is a partial governing document, not a full rulebook.

• Association governance: The Bylaws govern the internal operations of the HOA: the Board of Directors manages the association, appoints officers, and may hire a managing agent. The Board can adopt rules, enforce covenants, and set annual budgets.
• Membership & voting: Each lot (home) has one vote, regardless of number of owners. Owners must be in good standing (no violations or unpaid assessments) to vote. Voting can be in person or by proxy, with proxies valid for up to 11 months. A 20% quorum of all members is required for meetings.
• Board of Directors: After the developer (Declarant) turns over control (Conversion Date), the Board consists of 3 to 7 directors elected by members for 2‑year terms. During the developer‑control period, the Declarant appoints the Board. Directors serve without compensation. A director may be removed by a 20% member petition or by Board vote for unexcused absences.
• Developer (Declarant) control: The Declarant (builder) controls the association during a 'Development Period' ending on a Conversion Date recorded by the Declarant. During that time, the Declarant appoints the Board and retains certain powers, including the right to change directors.
• Meetings & quorum: The Board must hold at least four regular meetings per fiscal year (one per quarter). Special meetings can be called by the President or by written request of 20% of members. Member meetings require a 20% quorum; Board meetings require a majority of directors.
• Amendments: The Bylaws can be amended by the Board of Directors alone—no member vote is required.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include use restrictions for lots, such as leasing rules, pet limits, parking regulations, architectural review processes, or the amount of assessments. Those are part of the Declaration (CC&Rs) and separate rules. Also absent are any age restrictions, rental caps, or specific maintenance obligations for owners.
