Boulder Vista Association

What Boulder Vista Association's governing documents say

Boulder Vista Estates is a single-family residential planned community in Scottsdale, AZ where you own an individual parcel subject to restrictive covenants governing land use, architectural standards, and community maintenance. The Association, funded by assessments on each parcel, maintains common roadways, gates, and utilities. All exterior changes require Architectural Committee approval before you proceed.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual parcel; the Association owns and maintains common areas (roadways, entrance gates, water systems, lighting). You may build one single-family residence, a garage for up to 3 cars, a guest house, and servant quarters on your parcel.
• Permitted uses: Single-family residential use only—no commercial, occupational, or rental businesses are permitted. Leasing your home to tenants is allowed, subject to the Declaration's terms.
• Architectural review & exterior standards: All exterior improvements, alterations, landscaping, color changes, and repairs require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Front setback: 40 feet from property line; side setback: 20 feet. Roofs must blend with the natural desert landscape and cannot be reflective or white; exterior colors must conform to natural desert color schemes.
• Vehicles & parking: All vehicles must be kept in an enclosed structure, hidden from view when not in use. No outside parking or storage is allowed. Helicopter pads are permitted in designated areas (H-1, H-2, H-3) for private, exclusive use only.
• Pets & animals: A reasonable number of domestic household pets are permitted, kept solely as household pets and not for commercial purposes. The Board has sole discretion to determine whether the number of animals is reasonable or constitutes a nuisance.
• Annual assessments & special fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance and operations. Initial cap: $500/year for improved parcels, $250/year for unimproved parcels. The Board may increase the maximum assessment up to 50% annually without a member vote; increases exceeding 50% require approval by members holding 2/3 of voting power. Special assessments for capital improvements may also be levied (with 2/3 member approval, over up to 20 years). Delinquent assessments accrue 18% annual interest and become a lien on the property.
• Parcel subdivision restrictions: Your parcel cannot be subdivided or converted to a condominium without Board approval. Parcels in Area A can only be subdivided into minimum 3-acre sub-parcels; parcels in Area B into minimum 6-acre sub-parcels.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the Declaration of Covenants only; detailed rules, procedures, current assessment amounts, and enforcement specifics are contained in the Association's separate Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Rules documents.
