Orchard Ranchettes II

What Orchard Ranchettes II's governing documents say

This document is a water replenishment covenant for Orchard Ranchettes II (Queen Creek, AZ). It is not a standard HOA rulebook — it binds all property owners in Phases B, C, and D to be members of the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District and to pay annual replenishment assessments based on groundwater use. Failure to pay results in a lien on the property and personal liability for the owner.

• What the covenant requires: Each parcel is automatically a member of the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District (CAWCD). Owners must pay an annual Replenishment Assessment calculated on the Parcel Replenishment Obligation (the amount of excess groundwater delivered to the parcel).
• Liability and lien: The assessment, plus interest, costs, and penalties, is a lien on the parcel and a personal obligation of the owner at the time it became due. CAWCD has the legal remedies provided by Arizona law (ARS §§ 48-3778, 48-3782) to collect.
• Amending this covenant: The declaration can be amended only with written agreement of CAWCD, the Arizona Department of Water Resources, and owners of 67% of the total property area, or by changes in applicable statutes/regulations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain typical community rules like leasing restrictions, pet limits, architectural guidelines, parking, or any common-area maintenance obligations. It solely addresses groundwater replenishment membership and assessments.
