San Tan Heights

What San Tan Heights's governing documents say

San Tan Heights is a master-planned community of single-family homes in San Tan Valley, AZ, governed by a Master Association and potentially multiple smaller sub-associations. This Master Declaration sets the overall rules that apply to all homeowners, renters, and builders in the community, covering land use, architectural control, and maintenance responsibilities. The rules are binding on all owners, residents, and tenants.

• Residential use & business activities: All lots are for single-family residential use only. Limited home businesses are allowed if they are not visible, audible, or smellable from outside, generate no client traffic, and are consistent with residential character. Builders may use lots for construction and sales offices during development.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least three consecutive months. Owners must provide a copy of the lease to the Board within 15 days, and tenants must sign a crime-free lease addendum. Occupancy is limited to no more than five unrelated persons or a single family of any size. The owner is responsible for tenant violations.
• Pets: Only generally recognized house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets, not for commercial purposes. No specific limit is stated, but the Architectural Committee may decide on reasonableness and whether an animal is a nuisance. Structures for animals must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Vehicles & parking: Only private passenger vehicles and pickup trucks up to 1 ton capacity, 84 inches in height/width, and 222 inches in length may be parked in garages or driveways. Street parking is limited to occasional guest overflow for up to 24 hours. Commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, trailers, and vehicles not in operating condition are prohibited unless stored in a fully enclosed garage or in designated areas.
• Architectural review: Any improvement visible from neighboring property (including additions, paint, landscaping, antennas, solar panels) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Decisions are based on harmony, aesthetics, and compliance with design guidelines. Approval is deemed denied if not acted upon within 45 days of a complete application.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Owners must landscape their lot (including adjacent streetside areas) within 90 days of acquiring a built lot, following an approved plan. All exteriors and landscaping must be maintained in a neat condition. Damaged structures must be repaired or rebuilt within 18 months.
• Signs & antennas: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited except for two small identification signs (72 sq. in. or less), for-sale/lease signs, security signs, and builder signs approved by the Architectural Committee. Antennas and satellite dishes (over 18 inches) require approval and must be minimally visible; dishes 18 inches or smaller may be placed in rear/side yards if screened.
