Windmill Ranch

What Windmill Ranch's governing documents say

Windmill Ranch is a standard single-family HOA in Phoenix, AZ — you own your lot and the home on it, and you share ownership of the common areas with other homeowners. The association enforces rules on architecture, landscaping, vehicle storage, and business use to maintain the community's appearance and property values.

• Residential use & home businesses: All lots must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Home businesses are permitted only if they are not detectable from outside the home, involve no more than one non-resident employee, use no more than 20% of the home's floor area, and do not generate excessive traffic or parking. Leasing a home is not considered a business.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change — including construction, painting, fences, landscaping, solar panels, satellite dishes, basketball goals, and play structures — requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has 45 days to respond; if it fails to act, the request is considered disapproved.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be parked where visible from neighboring property without approval, except one RV and one boat may be stored in an enclosed backyard (not on corner lots). Inoperable vehicles, street parking over 24 hours, and parking of motorcycles or off-road vehicles outside garages are prohibited. The association may tow violating vehicles at the owner's expense.
• Pets & animals: Only a reasonable number of customary domestic house pets are allowed, kept for non-commercial purposes. Animals must not create excessive noise or nuisance, and pets must be leashed when off the owner's property. Owners must promptly clean up pet waste.
• Signs & exterior displays: No signs visible from neighboring property are allowed except: required legal signs, approved residence identification signs, subdivision signs, temporary open house signs (10 AM–6 PM), and temporary for-sale signs (max 120 days per year). Holiday lighting is allowed for up to 30 days with Architectural Committee regulation.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot to fund common area maintenance and operations. Special assessments may be levied with member approval. The association may suspend recreational facility access for delinquent assessments (until paid) or for rule infractions (up to 60 days). Transfer fees may also apply.
