Desert Ridge Community HOA

What Desert Ridge Community HOA's governing documents say

Desert Ridge is a standard single-family home HOA in Green Valley (Scottsdale, AZ). You own your lot and house; the association maintains common areas and private streets. The community is age-restricted (55+), with occupancy limits on minors. Owners must follow architectural review for any exterior changes, and leasing is limited to 28-day minimum terms.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one occupant per lot must be 55 or older. Minors (under 18) cannot reside for more than 3 months in any 12-month period. 80% of lots must be occupied by a person 55+ to maintain the housing-for-older-persons exemption.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration or addition (painting, fencing, landscaping, etc.) requires prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. Submit a detailed application with drawings, dimensions, materials, and colors. The committee responds within 30 days; if no action, the request is deemed approved.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire lot for a minimum of 28 days. No room rentals or subletting allowed. Provide the association with the lessee's name, lease term, and proof of age (must satisfy 55+ rule). All rules apply to tenants.
• Pets: Up to 4 dogs or cats per dwelling unit. Rabbits, poultry, livestock, and other farm animals are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: Park only in the garage or driveway; no vehicle may extend onto sidewalk or street. Recreational vehicles, inoperable vehicles, and commercial vehicles (over 3/4 ton) are prohibited except in garage or with board permission. Garage doors must remain closed except when in use.
• Property maintenance: Owners must maintain their lot and dwelling exterior to a standard comparable to neighboring lots, including landscaping, weeds, and general appearance. If the owner fails, the association can enter and correct, charging the owner as a reimbursement assessment.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board and cannot increase more than 20% over the prior year without member approval. Special assessments require 2/3 vote of members. Reimbursement assessments cover costs from rule violations or damage. Delinquent assessments carry late fees and interest.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial submission including an architectural request form and the CC&Rs. Specific fee amounts, pool rules, clubhouse amenities, or community events are not detailed here.
