Desert Mountain Arrowhead

What Desert Mountain Arrowhead's governing documents say

Desert Mountain Arrowhead is a single-family residential master-planned community in Scottsdale, AZ. You own your individual lot and house; the Village Association maintains shared roads, utilities, landscaping, and common areas, funded by regular per-lot assessments. The community is part of a larger Desert Mountain master development and includes separate Golf Club Facilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot (dwelling, garages, structures, and improvements). The Association maintains all Common Areas: Private Roads, landscaping, shared utilities (water, electricity, gas, sewer, trash pickup), security, and gates.
• Assessments & fees: Regular Assessments are levied per lot to cover common expenses. The Association may also charge Individual Charges for lot-specific costs and Capital Improvement Assessments for major improvements. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and accrue interest; you cannot offset assessments against disputes.
• Architectural review & design control: A Design Review Committee must approve any changes to your lot's exterior, improvements, or landscaping per the Design Guidelines. Your lot has a defined Building Envelope (maximum developable area). Approval is required before you proceed with any such work.
• Common areas & amenities: Common Areas include Private Roads, landscaping, and shared utilities. Golf Club Facilities and other Private Facilities (e.g., the Sonoran Club swim and tennis facility) are separate—not part of the common areas and not automatically accessible to residents.
• Use restrictions: Your lot is for residential use only. Business activity is prohibited except for invisible home-based work (no outside visitors, no door-to-door sales). Rental of your lot is permitted. Standard nuisance and safety restrictions apply.
• Membership & voting: Each lot owner holds one membership vote on association matters. The original Developer retained Class B voting rights (3 votes per lot) until a Transition Date, when all votes convert to single-vote Class A status. Major decisions require member approval; Developer consent was required on certain matters while Developer owns property.
• Insurance & damage to common areas: The Association maintains insurance for common areas. If common areas are damaged or destroyed, the Association handles reconstruction; insurance proceeds are held in trust. Costs exceeding insurance may trigger special Reconstruction Assessments on all owners.
