White Fence Farms

What White Fence Farms's governing documents say

This is a supplemental declaration for White Fence Farms in Phoenix, AZ, that imposes water-related fees and obligations on each property to ensure a certified assured water supply. It is not a full homeowners’ association rulebook; it only covers membership in the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District and the associated fees. The document binds all current and future property owners (including homeowners, buyers, and lenders) and runs with the land.

• Replenishment Assessment (ongoing annual fee): Each parcel is subject to an annual Replenishment Assessment levied by CAWCD based on the parcel's groundwater use. The amount is set by CAWCD to fund replenishment obligations. Nonpayment creates a lien and personal liability, plus interest and penalties.
• Replenishment Reserve Fee (one-time fee before sale): If the parcel qualifies as Category 1 member land, the owner must pay a Replenishment Reserve Fee to CAWCD before a public report authorizing sale or lease of subdivided land. The fee is based on projected excess groundwater demand and can be satisfied with long-term storage credits instead of cash, with CAWCD approval.
• Activation Fee (one-time fee before sale): Each subdivision that qualifies as member land must pay an Activation Fee to CAWCD before a public report authorizing sale or lease. The fee equals a per-unit amount set by CAWCD times the number of housing units to be built on that portion of the property.
• Lien for nonpayment: All Replenishment Assessments, Activation Fees, and Reserve Fees constitute a continuing lien on the parcel and are also a personal obligation of the owner at the time the fee came due. CAWCD has statutory remedies for delinquency.
• Amendments: This declaration may be amended only by (i) the written agreement of CAWCD, the Arizona Department of Water Resources, and owners of 67% of the total area of the property; or (ii) changes to the underlying state statutes or regulations.
• What this document does not cover: This document does not contain typical HOA rules such as architectural controls, pet restrictions, parking, leasing beyond the water-related fees, or any association operating rules. It is solely a water replenishment covenant; a separate homeowners’ association may have additional governing documents.
