Candlewood Estates at Troon North Homeowners Association

What Candlewood Estates at Troon North Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Candlewood Estates at Troon North is a single-family home HOA in Scottsdale, AZ, part of the larger Troon North master-planned community. The HOA maintains common areas (landscaping, streets, guard houses, recreation) and enforces rules for all homeowners. Owners own their lot and home, and must comply with both this declaration and the Troon North master declaration.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it, and are responsible for its maintenance. The Association maintains the common areas (tracts, landscaping, streets, guard houses, recreation). If your negligence causes damage to common areas, you pay for repairs via a special assessment.
• Architectural review: Any improvement (building, fence, pool, landscaping change, etc.) requires prior approval from both the Candlewood Estates Architectural Review Committee and the Troon North Association's committee. Plans must include location, materials, colors, and design. The more restrictive rule between the two declarations applies.
• Assessments & fees: You pay annual regular assessments set by the Board, plus potential special assessments for repairs, violations, or new facilities. Transfer fee is $75 (or actual cost, whichever greater) per sale. Late fees ($30) and 18% interest apply to delinquent assessments. Assessments are a lien on your property.
• Use restrictions: Property may only be used for activities permitted by the Troon North Declaration and this declaration. No specific use details are in this document; additional restrictions come from the master declaration and Board rules.
• Dispute resolution: All claims related to the governing documents must go through mandatory mediation and arbitration via the Arbitration & Mediation Center of Arizona before any lawsuit. Exceptions include assessment collection, emergency restraining orders, and certain owner-versus-owner suits.
• Declaration term & amendments: The declaration lasts 20 years from 2004, auto-renewing every 10 years unless 80% of owners vote to terminate. Before the Turnover Date (when Declarant transfers control), the Declarant can amend unilaterally; after that, amendments need 67% owner vote.
• Master document hierarchy: This declaration is subordinate to the Troon North Declaration, Articles, and Bylaws. If there is a conflict, the more restrictive provision controls. The HOA can enforce both declarations, but must coordinate with Troon North to avoid duplicate penalties.
