Royal Oaks (AZ)

What Royal Oaks (AZ)'s governing documents say

Royal Oaks is a single-family residential subdivision in Prescott, Arizona where you purchase and own individual lots outright (not a condominium). The community is governed by restrictive covenants that require architectural approval for all construction and set standards for home size, style, and property maintenance. Specific sections are designated exclusively for horse properties or luxury manufactured homes, and all owners automatically join the Granite Oaks Water Users Association.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and home outright; there is no shared ownership, homeowners association, or common elements. You are responsible for maintaining your property and grounds.
• Single-family homes with architectural approval: Only detached single-family dwellings are permitted (maximum 2 stories, 30 feet in height). All construction, additions, and modifications require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee; if the committee doesn't respond within 30 days, approval is automatically deemed granted.
• Building size & setback requirements: New homes must have at least 1,200 square feet of living area (excluding garages and porches). Buildings must be set back 40 feet from front and rear property lines, and 20 feet from side property lines.
• Horse properties (designated lots only): Horses and 4-H animal projects are permitted only on specific lots (Plat III: lots 107–109; Plat IV: lots 139–145, 161–162, 172–175, 178–185). Barns and stables require architectural approval. No poultry or fowl are allowed on any lot.
• Manufactured home section (Plat III, lots 101–109): Designated lots are restricted to new luxury double-wide manufactured homes meeting strict specifications for permanent foundations, double-car enclosed garages, roofing, and exterior materials. Homes must be completed and ready for occupancy within 90 days of construction start.
• Vehicle restrictions & parking: Overnight street parking of trucks, pickup trucks, trailers, and RVs is prohibited. RVs, boats, and bikes must be parked at the rear of your house. All vehicle repair and maintenance must occur inside a garage only.
• Water Users Association membership & irrigation: All property owners automatically join Granite Oaks Water Users Association and pay a refundable meter charge plus monthly fees set by the association. Lawn irrigation is limited to 9,000 square feet per lot.
• Property maintenance & landscaping standards: Vacant lots and improved properties must be kept neat and free of rubbish. Yards must be maintained in appearance consistent with typical properties in the subdivision. Natural trees and shrubs should be preserved, and owners are encouraged to replace trees they cut down.
