Bella Montagna

What Bella Montagna's governing documents say

Bella Montagna is a single-family home subdivision in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). This is a standard homeowners' association (HOA) where you own your lot and home, and the association maintains common facilities (trail easements, landscaped areas, walls, entry features, a retention area and tennis court) funded by annual assessments. The rules are binding on all owners and aim to preserve a luxury custom-home character.

• Architectural review & style: All exterior improvements require prior approval by an Architectural Committee. Permitted architectural styles are Southwestern, Territorial, or Mediterranean (not Tudor, Colonial, or Modern). Minimum residence size is 3,500 sq ft. Homes must be single-story with a maximum roof height of 23 feet; a loft or living area may not exceed 20% of the living area. Roof materials prohibited: shake, corrugated plastic, sheet metal, high-gloss concrete tile, and composition; allowed: clay tile, no-gloss true color tile, concealed built-up roofs. Siding: wood, plastic, aluminum, or asbestos siding prohibited. Exterior must be painted or colored stucco/plaster or approved masonry; Spanish Lace stucco finish prohibited.
• Landscaping & yards: Front yards must be landscaped per an approved plan, with minimum $5,000 spent and at least 50% green grass.

• Animals: Farm animals and structures for housing them are prohibited, except for horses.
• Assessments & liens: Annual assessments are set by the Board at a uniform rate per lot. Special assessments require approval of two-thirds of voting members. Assessments are a continuing lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner. Delinquent payments bear interest and may incur late fees and collection costs. The association can foreclose on the lien.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is allowed: an owner may delegate use of common facilities to tenants. No minimum lease term is stated in this excerpt, but tenants are subject to the rules.
• Construction regulations (during building): Builders must follow detailed rules: daily cleanup, no dumping/burning trash, portable toilets only within building envelope, vehicles parked only on the lot, no damage to other property, dust and noise control, working hours from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset unless otherwise set.
