Vive Nuevo

What Vive Nuevo's governing documents say

Vive Nuevo is a master-planned community in Scottsdale, Arizona, where you own your dwelling unit and lot while the HOA (Vive Nuevo, Inc.) maintains and insures the common areas—recreational facilities, streets, and landscaping. Lot owners must comply with strict architectural design review, use restrictions, pet and vehicle limits, and per-lot assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your dwelling unit and lot; the Association maintains and insures common areas. Owners must maintain their lots free of weeds and debris, keep lawns mowed and trimmed, remove dead plants, and keep all buildings in good repair; any damaged structures must be immediately repaired, rebuilt, or demolished and rebuilt.
• Architectural review & design control: Prior written approval from the Design Review Committee is required for any exterior alteration visible from neighboring property—including construction, grading, color changes, landscaping, fencing, solar panels, and exterior lighting. The Committee has 60 days to respond; if no decision is issued for a fully compliant application, approval is deemed granted. Review fees and construction deposits may be required.
• Pets: You may keep no more than two domestic pets (cats, dogs, household pets) per lot; no breeding or commercial use. Pets cannot be caged, chained, or tied outdoors; those capable of being walked must be leashed (maximum 6 feet). Owners are responsible for immediate cleanup. Violations incur a cleanup assessment fee.
• Vehicles & parking: All vehicles must be parked in your lot's carport and cannot extend beyond adjacent lamp posts or park on streets. Mobile homes, motor homes, trailers, trucks of 1 ton or heavier, campers, boats, and recreational vehicles are prohibited (except temporary construction equipment with approval). The Association may remove unauthorized vehicles at the owner's expense.
• Business use: No trade, business, or commercial activity is permitted on the lot except that owners may operate a business within a dwelling unit if: (i) not detectable by sight, sound, or smell from the exterior; (ii) conforming to Scottsdale zoning; (iii) not increasing Association insurance liability; (iv) consistent with residential character; and (v) not creating a nuisance or unusual traffic/parking.
• Landscaping & exterior maintenance: No planting, landscaping, fencing, hedges, or walls may be installed without prior Design Review Committee approval, except those placed during initial construction or hidden from neighboring property. All uncovered portions of lots must be maintained free of weeds, dead plants, and debris, with lawns neatly mowed and trimmed.
• Party walls: Each owner maintains the exterior surface of shared party walls facing their lot. Repair costs are split equally between adjoining owners unless one owner's act caused damage—then that owner bears the full cost. Adjoining owners have the right to enter neighboring property (excluding dwelling interiors without permission) for repairs with advance notice.
• Assessments & fees: The Association levies annual per-lot assessments and may impose special or lot-specific assessments (e.g., for violations, cleanup, or construction deposits). An assessment lien secures non-payment. Owners cannot offset assessments; all fines, penalties, and fees are collectable as lot-specific charges.
