Longview

What Longview's governing documents say

Longview Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Prescott, AZ governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). These rules apply to all lot owners and residents. Key restrictions cover residential use, minimum home size (1,200 sq ft), construction timelines (1 year), pet limits (usual household pets only), and architectural review by a committee. The original term ran until 2000, with automatic 10-year renewals unless terminated by a majority vote of 90% of lot owners.

• Lot use & construction: Lots are for residential use only—one single-family dwelling per lot, minimum 1,200 sq ft of floor space (excluding garages/carports). Adjacent-lot owners may combine lots by building on the common lot line. Construction must be completed within one year of starting and meet FHA specs. No temporary living quarters (garages, trailers).
• Pets & animals: Only usual household pets (cats, dogs, small birds) are allowed. No poultry, fowl, bees, or other animals. Raising pets for sale is prohibited. No home occupations.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee of at least three members must approve all building plans, specifications, and plot plans before construction. Changes to buildings, fences, walls, or exterior color schemes also require prior approval. The committee’s decisions are final with no recourse.
• Exterior maintenance & appearance: Laundry drying yards must be concealed from street view. Garbage and trash must be kept in covered containers in the rear yard. No piles of refuse. Radio antennae/towers only as approved by the committee. Boats, trailers, campers, and motor homes must be kept in the rear or screened side yard. Bottled gas containers must be buried per committee approval.
• Signs: No billboards or signs except small 'For Rent' or 'For Sale' signs on individual lots, developer signs, and ornamental entrance signs erected by the developer.
• Duration & amendment: The covenants run with the land. The original term ended January 1, 2000, but automatically extend for successive 10-year periods unless terminated earlier by mutual agreement of the developer and a majority of lot owners. Amendments require a 90% vote of lot owners, provided they do not decrease property value.
