What Vistas at Desert Harbor's governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for the Vistas at Desert Harbor subdivision in Phoenix, Arizona—a single-family home community governed by a homeowners association. It applies to lot owners, occupants, and their guests. The community is part of a larger master-planned community (The Desert Harbor Community Association) with additional governing documents. The CC&Rs outline property rights, maintenance responsibilities, architectural controls, use restrictions, and assessment obligations.

• What you own & maintain: Each owner owns their lot and must maintain it in good condition, including all exterior surfaces, landscaping, and structures. The association maintains the common areas (Tracts A and B) and carries master insurance. Owners must keep landscaping neat and free of weeds.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, alterations, painting, landscaping, and other changes require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans must be submitted; if not disapproved within 30 days, they are deemed approved. Decisions are final.
• Parking & vehicles: Motor vehicles must be parked only in the garage or driveway of the owner's lot. No storage of vehicles on lots or roadways. Parking on roadways is limited to short-term guests or deliveries. No repairs of vehicles on lots within view of other lots or streets.
• Pets: Only reasonable numbers of household pets (dogs, cats) are allowed, kept as domestic pets only. Pets must be on a leash no longer than six feet when off the owner's lot. Owners must immediately remove droppings. No structures visible from neighboring property. Nuisance behavior prohibited.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No antennas or satellite dishes without approval. No outside speakers, amplifiers, or unshielded lighting. No signs except traditional mailboxes and nameplates. No burning or incinerators. No oil or mineral activity. Nuisance or offensive conditions prohibited.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner pays an equal share of common expenses (assessments). A working capital fee of two months' assessments is due at closing. Late payments accrue 18% interest and create a lien on the lot. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote of members.
• Leasing & rentals: The document allows owners to delegate common area use to tenants. No specific minimum lease term is stated in this excerpt. Tenants must comply with all rules.
