What Cortez Canyon Condominium's governing documents say
Cortez Canyon Condominium is a 6-unit condo community in Scottsdale, AZ—you own your unit's finished interior and share ownership of the building structure, grounds, and common elements, which the association maintains and insures. Costs are split equally among units via assessments.
- What you own & maintain: Your unit ownership includes the finished interior surfaces (wallboard, paint, flooring, finished fixtures). The building structure, unfinished walls/ceilings, and common elements are jointly owned and maintained by the association. You have exclusive use of your allocated garage and patio/balcony, plus exclusive control of any utilities (pipes, conduits) outside your unit that serve only your unit.
- Residential use & home business: All units must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they're completely undetectable from outside (no visible, audible, or odor-based signs), don't require visitors or door-to-door solicitation, and don't create nuisances or security concerns.
- Alterations & renovations: Non-structural changes within your unit don't require Board approval, but you're liable for any resulting damage to other units or common elements. Structural changes and any visible exterior modifications (like enclosing a patio) require prior written Board approval plus certification from a licensed Arizona architect/engineer that the work won't impair the building's structural integrity.
- Parking & garages: Each unit is allocated an exclusive garage (boundaries are interior unfinished surfaces; garage door is included). During the original developer's active sales period, the developer may reserve other parking spaces for prospective buyers and their representatives.
- Assessments & financial obligations: The association levies common expense assessments equally among all units to cover shared costs, plus special assessments as needed. Non-payment results in an assessment lien on your unit. The association maintains a working capital fund and reserves.
- Master insurance: The association obtains and maintains master insurance for common elements and building structures. Details of coverage, premiums, and claims procedures are set forth in the declaration.
- Access gates & security: Electronically-activated access gates may be installed at community entrances and are maintained by the association. However, gates do not guarantee security or prevent unauthorized access, and may delay or restrict entry by emergency vehicles. Residents assume all risk of emergency response delays caused by the gates.
