Morning Sun Farms

What Morning Sun Farms's governing documents say

Morning Sun Farms is a single-family home HOA community in San Tan Valley, AZ. You own your lot and detached dwelling unit; the association manages common areas and enforces the covenants. Living here requires paying assessments, obtaining architectural approval for exterior changes, and following vehicle and use restrictions.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance and reserves. The board may increase assessments annually by up to 10% or the CPI increase (whichever is greater); larger increases require a vote. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote of members. Late payments incur a charge of at least $15 or 10% of the unpaid amount, plus 12% annual interest. Working capital of one-sixth of the annual assessment is due upon original purchase.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alterations, including structures like sheds or gazebos, require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee sets design guidelines and can require screening of items like side yard parking areas.
• Vehicles & parking: Commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, and boats must be parked in an approved side yard parking area and screened from view. Personal vehicles may be parked on the lot, but overnight guest parking is limited to temporary, nonrecurring use. No storage of such vehicles in open yards.
• Membership & voting: Each lot owner is a member of the HOA. During Declarant control, the developer holds Class B votes (3 per lot); after control transfers, each lot has one vote. Special assessments and bylaw amendments require a two-thirds majority vote.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. A single family is defined as persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to four unrelated adults living together. No commercial uses. Pets are allowed but subject to association rules that may limit the number and type in common areas.
