What Donatela's governing documents say
Donatela I is a single-family residential HOA community in Avondale, Arizona, where you own your individual home and lot. The association maintains all common areas and recreational facilities through mandatory per-lot assessments. Your ownership is subject to extensive covenants, use restrictions, and architectural controls that shape what you can do with your property.
- What you own & maintain: You own your home and lot individually and are responsible for maintaining your dwelling's interior and exterior. The association maintains all common areas, landscaping, perimeter walls, and recreational facilities.
- Assessments & special fees: You pay annual per-lot assessments for common expenses (specific amount not stated in this document). The association can levy additional special assessments with proper member voting and notice. Non-payment can suspend your recreational facility access.
- Architectural approval required: Most exterior modifications need Architectural Committee approval before work begins. This includes HVAC units, solar panels, antennas, satellite dishes, fences, roof materials, new structures, and any changes visible from neighboring properties.
- Use & modification restrictions: Your property is for residential use only. Extensive restrictions prohibit temporary structures, new construction (without approval), outdoor burning, and numerous other modifications. Violations can result in suspension of common area privileges.
- Leasing your home: You can lease your home to tenants. However, during an active lease, you (the owner) lose the right to use common areas—only your tenants can use them. Your common area access resumes when the lease ends.
- Recreational facilities & access: You and your residents have non-exclusive access to common area recreational facilities. Access can be suspended during assessment delinquency or for violating property rules—up to 60-day suspension periods that can be renewed if violations continue.
- Voting rights & membership: All lot owners automatically become association members with voting rights. Initially, the developer has enhanced voting (3 votes per lot); owners have 1 vote per lot. Developer voting converts to equal 1-vote-per-lot status once 75% of lots are owner-occupied, after 10 years, or by developer election.
