Forest Trails

What Forest Trails's governing documents say

Forest Trails is a single-family residential subdivision in Prescott, AZ governed by a homeowners' association (Forest Trails Homeowners' Association). These covenants apply to property owners and set rules for what you can build, how you can use your lot, and what the association maintains. If you own here, you must follow architectural review, maintain your property, pay assessments, and keep pets, vehicles, and activities within stated limits.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; common areas (tracts) are owned and maintained by the association. You must keep your yard and exterior neat, repair damage promptly, and maintain driveways. Shared driveways require cost-sharing among served lots.
• Use restrictions & building rules: Lots are for single-family residential use only (guest houses allowed). Minimum living area is 1,200 sq ft (900 sq ft ground floor). Building height limit is 30 ft (35 ft in earlier phase). Lot coverage max 35%. Setbacks: front 20 ft (10 ft on steep slopes), side 10 ft, rear 15-25 ft depending on slope. Fences/walls max 6 ft (4 ft forward of front setback).
• Architectural review: All exterior structures, fences, walls, and alterations require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Submit plans showing location, dimensions, and trees over 8 inches diameter. The committee may charge a $150 fee. If no decision within 30 days, plans are deemed approved if compliant.
• Pets & animals: No raising or breeding of animals, fowl, or reptiles. A reasonable number of dogs, cats, or common household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. Any pet causing a nuisance may be removed after 3 days' notice from the board.
• Parking & vehicles: Each owner must provide adequate off-street parking. Trailers, boats, RVs, and non-operating vehicles must be stored where not visible from neighboring lots or streets and cannot be used for sleeping or habitation. No vehicle repair outside a garage.
• Assessments & enforcement: The association levies assessments to maintain common areas and roads. Delinquent assessments incur 12% annual interest and a lien with power of sale. The association may sue and recover attorneys' fees and costs. Owners cannot waive assessments by non-use.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt contains the main use restrictions and association powers but does not include current assessment amounts, specific bylaws, or rules adopted later by the board. Leasing restrictions are not mentioned; rentals appear permitted unless limited by future rules.
