What Emperor Estates's governing documents say
Emperor Estates is a planned single-family residential community in Queen Creek, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (Remington Heights Homeowners Association, Inc.). The rules apply to all lot owners and occupants, binding through deed covenants. Key areas include architectural control, maintenance of lots and common areas, assessments for common expenses, and insurance requirements.
- What you own & maintain: Each owner is responsible for maintenance, repairs, and replacements of their own lot and all improvements on it, keeping it neat and orderly. The association maintains the common areas and landscaping within rights-of-way, funded by common assessments.
- Architectural review: An architectural committee (or the board) must approve any improvements, modifications, or changes to lots, including buildings, fences, pools, landscaping, and other structures. No construction may begin without prior written approval.
- Assessments & fees: All owners pay a proportionate share of common expenses, with a maximum annual increase of 10% or CPI, whichever is greater. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote of each membership class. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 18% per year and become a lien on the lot.
- Insurance: The association carries multi-peril property insurance on common areas (100% replacement cost), liability insurance ($1 million minimum), and fidelity bonds. Owners must insure their own dwelling contents, personal property, and liability not covered by the association.
- Common areas & easements: Owners have a non-exclusive right to use common areas (e.g., streets, open spaces). The association may grant utilities and emergency vehicle easements. Minor portions of common areas may be reserved for exclusive use of adjacent owners.
- Member voting & board: There are two classes of membership: Class A (all owners, one vote per lot) and Class B (declarant/designated builders, three votes per lot). Class B voting rights convert to Class A upon sale or after 10 years. The board manages the association; initial members are appointed by the declarant.
