Roman Estates I

What Roman Estates I's governing documents say

Roman Estates I is a master-planned residential community in Queen Creek, Arizona, where you own an individual Lot or Parcel subject to a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. The association maintains multiple levels of common areas (Master, Neighborhood, and Subdivision-specific) and enforces strict architectural controls over any visible exterior changes. Owners pay annual assessments plus potential special and subdivision assessments; unpaid assessments create a lien on your property.

• What you own & what the association maintains: You own your Lot or Parcel (an individual property with a Residential Unit). The association owns and maintains Master Common Area (community-wide facilities), Neighborhood Common Area, and Subdivision Common Area (benefits specific neighborhoods within the project), carries master insurance, and manages all maintenance and repairs on these shared areas.
• Architectural approval required for all exterior changes: No visible exterior work—including landscaping, colors, materials, grading, excavation, additions, alterations, repairs—may be made without written Architectural Committee approval. The Committee has 45 days to respond; failure to respond means approval is automatic. The Committee uses its "sole and absolute discretion" to judge aesthetics and compliance with Design Guidelines. Review fees may apply.
• Residential use only; narrow home-business exception: Properties must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Home-based business is allowed only if: the business is not visible, audible, or detectable by smell from outside; no customers or non-resident employees visit; traffic and parking are normal for a residential neighborhood; and the business is confined to inside the unit or garage. The business must not destroy the residential character.
• No temporary structures as residences: Trailers, tents, shacks, garages, barns, and incomplete buildings are prohibited as residences, temporary or permanent. Temporary construction structures approved by the Architectural Committee must be removed immediately upon completion.
• Maintenance standards & nuisance restrictions: No rubbish, debris, offensive odors, or loud noises are permitted. Construction activities must keep sites neat, confine materials and equipment to committee-approved areas, and comply with maintenance standards. The Architectural Committee has discretion to determine what constitutes a nuisance.
• Multiple assessment types & automatic lien: Owners pay Annual Assessments (per lot), Special Assessments (for unexpected expenses), and Subdivision Assessments (for benefits to specific neighborhoods). Unpaid assessments automatically create a lien on your property, giving the association a legal claim to enforce collection.
• Gated access may delay emergency response: The community may have access gates or guardhouses that can restrict or delay entry by police, fire, ambulances, and emergency personnel. Owners and residents acknowledge and assume the risk of delayed emergency response; the association and developer are not liable for any damages resulting from such delays.
