Ocotillo Trails

What Ocotillo Trails's governing documents say

Ocotillo Trails is a single-family home community in Queen Creek, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA) through a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). All lots are for single-family residential use only. The HOA enforces rules, collects assessments, and maintains common areas to protect property values and quality of life.

• Residential use & home businesses: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve no customer visits, and do not create a nuisance.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including additions, alterations, repainting, landscaping, fences, sheds, or solar panels, require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Applications are deemed approved if not acted on within 60 days.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments, which can increase by up to 20% per year without a member vote (67% vote needed for larger increases). Special assessments require a 2/3 vote. A working capital fee of one-sixth of the annual assessment is due at purchase, plus a transfer fee set by the board.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire residence and lot, with a minimum term of 30 days. Owners must notify the board of any lease and provide tenant and owner contact information.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common household pets are allowed, not for commercial purposes. Pets must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off the owner's lot, and owners must immediately remove droppings.
• Vehicles & parking: No commercial vehicles over 1 ton, RVs, boats, trailers, or non-operating vehicles may be parked visible from neighboring property or streets. Pickup trucks under 1 ton with camper shells are exempt. Repairs are prohibited except emergencies.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Front yard landscaping must be completed within 90 days of closing, rear yard within 180 days. All landscaping must be kept trimmed, weed-free, and tidy. The HOA may step in and charge the owner if work is not done in time.
• Signs & antennas: Signs are limited to one identification sign (80 sq in or less), one security sign, one for-sale/for-rent sign (5 sq ft max), and signs required by legal proceedings. Satellite dishes must be ground-mounted and not visible from neighboring property.
