What Sundown Acres (AZ)'s governing documents say

Sundown Acres (Prescott, AZ) is a single-family residential subdivision governed by a Declaration of Restrictions filed in 1965. All lot owners are bound by these covenants, which include minimum lot size, setback rules, and limits on livestock and buildings. The restrictions automatically renew every 5 years unless a majority of owners vote to amend them.

• Land use & commercial activity: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes and accessory uses. Commercial activities, temporary buildings, and metal buildings or metal roofs are prohibited.

Residences must be set back at least 25 ft from property lines; accessory buildings at least 10 ft. Exterior must be finished within 6 months of starting construction. Plans require written approval (originally from the declarant).
• Minimum lot size: No residence may be located on a lot smaller than 2.5 acres (more or less). Not more than one guest house is allowed per residence.
• Livestock: Non‑commercial livestock (horses, cattle, or 4‑H/F.F.A. projects) are limited to one head per half‑acre, with a maximum of 6 head on 5‑acre tracts and 10 head on 10‑acre or larger tracts. Livestock must be confined within the property perimeter.
• Temporary housing & trailers: House trailers may be used for living purposes only during active construction of a permanent home, for up to one year starting from written consent. The trailer must be removed after that year.
• Aesthetics & nuisance: No unsightly objects or nuisances are allowed. Exterior lighting requires written approval from the developer. All utility service leads must be buried per local utility standards. Corrals, stables, and pens must be built and maintained in an attractive and sanitary manner.
• Amendments & duration: The restrictions are effective until December 31, 1975, and automatically renew for successive 5‑year periods unless amended by a majority vote of lot owners (one vote per half‑acre owned). Amendments are filed with the county recorder.
