Courtyards of Scottsdale

What Courtyards of Scottsdale's governing documents say

Courtyards of Scottsdale is a standard single-family home HOA in Scottsdale, AZ. These CC&Rs bind homeowners and residents to rules about property use, assessments, architectural changes, and rentals. The HOA manages common areas and enforces the rules.

• Assessments & fees: All owners must pay regular, special, and reimbursement assessments. Regular assessments can increase up to 10% or the CPI increase, whichever is higher, without a vote; a 2/3 owner vote can override. Special assessments over 10% of budgeted expenses need a 2/3 vote. Late fees of $10 or 10% (whichever more) apply after 15 days, and interest accrues after 30 days.
• Use restrictions & residential character: Lots are for single-family residential use only; business activities are prohibited unless permitted by Scottsdale Municipal Code and not disruptive. No commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, or trailers allowed except for temporary loading/unloading. Overnight street parking is prohibited. One US flag and one for-sale sign are allowed; no other signs or flags.
• Pets & animals: Household pets are allowed but not in unreasonable quantities or for commercial breeding. Pets must be leashed, not tied to structures, and droppings must be removed. The HOA can expel any pet deemed a nuisance.
• Architectural control: All exterior changes visible from other lots, common areas, or public areas must be approved in writing by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and the Board. The ARC has 45 days to respond. Variances may be granted after a 30-day owner comment period and a hearing.
• Leasing & rentals: Rentals must be for a term of at least 90 consecutive days per calendar year; transient use is prohibited. Leases must include language allowing the HOA to demand rent payments from tenants to satisfy owner obligations. Owners must provide tenants with the governing documents.
• Maintenance & nuisances: Owners must maintain their lots in good condition. The HOA may enter and perform minimum maintenance at the owner's cost after notice and hearing. Nuisance activities, unsightly conditions, and any interference with quiet enjoyment are prohibited.
• Insurance & destruction: The HOA carries property insurance on common areas, general liability ($1M minimum), workers' comp, and D&O insurance. Owners insure their own units. If common areas are damaged, the HOA must repair unless 80% of owners vote not to rebuild.
• Enforcement & amendment: The HOA and any owner can enforce the rules. Penalties include reimbursement assessments, suspension of common area use, and voting privileges. CC&Rs can be amended by 65% of voting members. The declaration runs for 25 years, auto-renewing every 10 years unless all owners vote to terminate.
