Emerald Mesa Condominiums

What Emerald Mesa Condominiums's governing documents say

Emerald Mesa Condominiums is a condominium community in Scottsdale, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association maintains common areas and carries master insurance, funded by per-unit assessments. This declaration explains unit boundaries, use restrictions, leasing rules, pet policies, and assessment procedures.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior finished surfaces of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings). The association maintains all common elements, including structural parts and exterior areas. Limited common elements like patios and balconies are allocated to specific units and must be maintained by the unit owner, except for structural parts.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing and require the tenant to comply with all condo documents. Unit owners must notify the association of the lease start and end dates and tenant names. No minimum lease term is stated in this excerpt.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of house pets allowed, kept solely as domestic pets and not for commercial purposes. Dogs must be leashed on common elements and must not relieve themselves on common areas. No pet structures visible from neighboring units. The board can restrict pet numbers and locations.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be parked on the condominium, except for certain small pickup trucks with camper shells (≤7 ft height) and mini-motor homes (≤7 ft height, ≤18 ft length) used regularly. No inoperable vehicles or vehicle repairs on the property. The board may tow violators at owner expense.
• Architectural review: Any structural additions, alterations, or improvements within a unit require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee, plus an engineer's certification that the work won't impair structural integrity. Changes to exterior appearance (e.g., window coverings, antennas, signs) also need approval.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are allocated equally among all units. The initial maximum assessment per unit is $900 per fiscal year, adjustable annually by the Consumer Price Index without a vote. Increases beyond the CPI require a 2/3 vote of unit owners. Special assessments also require 2/3 approval. Delinquent assessments bear 18% interest and are secured by a lien.
• Use restrictions: Units are for single-family residential use only. No businesses, no antennas or satellite dishes outdoors without approval, no clotheslines, no temporary occupancy (tents/trailers), no nuisances, and no reflective window coverings without Architectural Committee consent. Patios and yards must be kept neat and free of debris.
