Bacara

What Bacara's governing documents say

Bacara is a single-family residential subdivision in Scottsdale, AZ governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). All owners and occupants must follow the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which cover use rules, assessments, maintenance, and architectural controls. The community is not age-restricted or a condominium.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. The association maintains all common areas (Tracts A-J), including landscaping, roadways, and entry gates. You are responsible for maintaining your lot and improvements, keeping them in good repair and free of nuisances.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire lot for a minimum of six consecutive months. Transient or hotel-type rentals are prohibited. You must provide a copy of the lease and tenant's address to the association. Tenants have no voting rights, and you remain responsible for their conduct.
• Pets & animals: Only customary household pets (dogs, cats, household birds) are allowed, in reasonable numbers that do not create a nuisance. Animals must be leashed or fenced on common areas and other lots. The board may require removal of any animal deemed a nuisance.
• Use of property & home-based business: Lots are for single-family residential use only. A home-based business is allowed if it is not visible or audible from outside, conforms to zoning, does not increase insurance, and is not a nuisance. No commercial signs, no institutions, no timeshares, no temporary dwellings.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $2,160 per lot (as of document), with automatic increases tied to CPI or 5% per year. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of owners. Fees include a working capital fee (one annual assessment) and reserve contribution (half of annual assessment) payable at purchase. Delinquent assessments accrue 18% interest and late fees.
• Architectural control: Any exterior alteration (construction, landscaping changes, color changes, etc.) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Design and construction guidelines apply.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles parked on common areas in violation of rules may be towed. The document does not detail specific parking limits but authorizes the association to adopt rules.
• Enforcement & violations: The association may impose fines, suspend voting rights, suspend common area use (except ingress/egress), record notices of violation, and foreclose on lots for unpaid assessments. Owners may also enforce the CC&Rs.
