Casa Del Monte

What Casa Del Monte's governing documents say

Casa Del Monte is a condominium (horizontal property regime) in Scottsdale, AZ — you own your individual 'apartment unit' (with defined boundaries) and share undivided ownership of the general common elements (land, private roadways, etc.). This First Amended Declaration adjusts the unit mix and ownership percentages; the association (Casa Del Monte, Inc.) manages common areas and can levy assessments. The document is a legal declaration that binds all current and future unit owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior space between finished floor and roof, and the centerline of interior walls (exterior walls are common). The association maintains the general common elements (land, private roadways, utilities, building exteriors).
• Percentage interests & assessments: Each unit has a fixed percentage interest (e.g., 0.696%) that determines its share of ground rents, maintenance charges, and other common obligations. Real property taxes are assessed separately on each unit plus any exclusive-use areas (patio, carport, etc.).
• Easements & utilities: Blanket easements exist for utilities (water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone, etc.), air conditioning/heating ducts, master TV antenna, and private roadways. Utility companies may install poles and lines above and below ground, and on roofs/exterior walls, provided it does not interfere with unit interiors.
• Governance & amendments: The initial council of co-owners is Casa Del Monte, Inc. (a nonprofit Arizona corporation). A two-thirds vote of co-owners (at least a majority in interest) can elect a council, adopt bylaws/rules/regulations, and amend the declaration. Any unpaid assessment becomes a lien on the unit (subordinate to mortgages). The original builder retained limited amendment rights until construction was completed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not address pet restrictions, leasing/rental minimums, age restrictions, parking rules, architectural review, or any specific resident conduct rules. Those may be found in separate bylaws or rules adopted by the council of co-owners.
