San Tan Trails

What San Tan Trails's governing documents say

San Tan Trails is a planned community in San Tan Valley, AZ governed by a homeowner's association (San Tan Trails Community Association). This declaration establishes the rules, restrictions, and obligations that apply to all lot owners, residents, and occupants. It covers architectural control, maintenance, assessments, insurance, and enforcement within the master-planned community, which may also include neighborhoods with separate supplemental restrictions.

• Architectural review: No structure or exterior change visible from neighboring property may be placed without written approval from the Design Review Committee, which considers aesthetic factors and has sole discretion. The committee may adopt and amend design guidelines and grant variances.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Lot owners must maintain their lots in a neat and attractive manner consistent with community standards. The association maintains the common area and perimeter fencing (structural elements and outward-facing surfaces), while owners maintain fence surfaces facing their lots.
• Association assessments: The association levies Base Assessments equally on all lots for common expenses, Neighborhood Assessments on lots in specific neighborhoods for neighborhood expenses, and Special Assessments for unbudgeted or excess expenses. Assessments are due as determined by the board; the budget is prepared annually.
• Insurance requirements: The association is authorized to obtain property and liability insurance on common areas, including officers' liability and fidelity coverage. Owners must carry property insurance on their own improvements unless the association or a neighborhood association covers it. Premiums for common area insurance are common expenses; deductibles may be assessed to responsible owners.
• Enforcement and compliance: The board may impose sanctions for violations including monetary penalties, suspending voting rights or facility use, suspending services, self-help (e.g., towing), requiring removal of violations, and filing suit. The board has discretion in enforcement; non-enforcement of one violation does not waive future enforcement.
• Neighborhoods and supplemental declarations: The community may be divided into neighborhoods via supplemental declarations, which can impose additional restrictions (e.g., single-family, multi-family, or age-restricted). Neighborhoods may have their own associations and assessments. Master declaration provisions control in conflicts.
