Vineyard Mountain Ranch

What Vineyard Mountain Ranch's governing documents say

Vineyard Mountain Ranch is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). All lot owners automatically become members of the Vineyard Mountain Ranch Homeowners Association and are bound by these covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). This document sets out property rights, maintenance obligations, use restrictions, and assessment rules for the community.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot and cannot increase more than 20% over the prior year without a majority member vote. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of all eligible members. A one-time transfer fee of $200 is due upon resale (excluding Declarant). An initial working capital payment of one-quarter of the annual assessment is required from the first buyer of a lot. Payments not made within 15 days incur a late charge of $15 or 10% and interest at 12% per annum.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial or recreational vehicles (e.g., trucks over 1 ton, boats, RVs, campers) must be stored only in a designated Recreational Vehicle Parking Area within the Enclosed Side Yard, screened from view. Family vehicles (standard cars, pickup trucks under 1 ton without camper shells, small motor homes under 8' tall and 18' long) may be parked on lots. Temporary parking for loading/unloading or guests is allowed on a nonrecurring basis.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, landscaping, or construction of ancillary units (e.g., sheds, gazebos, garages) require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans for front-yard landscaping must be submitted within 60 days of ownership and must use approved plants. The Committee sets rules for screening and visibility.
• Use restrictions (occupancy & business): Each lot is for single-family residential use only. A 'single family' is defined as persons related by blood/marriage/adoption, or up to four unrelated adults living as a household. No business or commercial activity is allowed on the property. Drilling, mining, hazardous wastes, and time-shares are prohibited. Leasing is addressed in Section 8.13 (specific terms not visible in this excerpt).
• Maintenance responsibilities: The Association maintains common areas and 'Areas of Association Responsibility' (e.g., certain right-of-ways). Each owner is responsible for maintaining their detached dwelling unit and all improvements on their lot, including roofs, paint, plumbing, and utilities. Owners must keep their property in clean, safe condition. If an owner's action damages common areas, the repair cost may be added to their assessment.
