Madera Reserve Homeowners Association

What Madera Reserve Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Madera Reserve is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Scottsdale, AZ. These bylaws describe how the HOA is governed: how owners vote, how the board is elected, and how assessments work. This document does not contain detailed use restrictions (like pet limits or architectural rules) — those are in a separate Declaration.

• Meetings & Voting: Annual meetings are held in February, with notice 10–50 days in advance. Special meetings can be called by the president, a majority of the board, or by owners holding 25% of the votes. A quorum is 10% of total votes; voting is per lot (fractional votes not allowed) and can be done in person or by absentee ballot. If co-owners disagree, the vote is lost.
• Board of Directors: The board has 5–9 members, all owners, elected to staggered two-year terms. Directors serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for expenses. Vacancies are filled by a majority vote of remaining directors. A director may be removed with or without cause under Arizona law. Board meetings are generally monthly and open to members, with 48-hour notice for special meetings. A majority of directors constitutes a quorum.
• Powers & Duties of the Board: The board can adopt rules for common areas, suspend voting and facility use for nonpayment or rule violations (up to 60 days after notice and hearing), fix annual assessments, foreclose on delinquent liens, and maintain common areas. The board must also arrange for annual review of association books and provide assessment certificates upon request.
• Assessments & Liens: Each owner must pay annual and special assessments. Assessments not paid within 30 days of the due date are delinquent and accrue interest at 9% per year plus a late fee of the greater of $15 or 10% of the delinquent amount. The association may sue the owner personally or foreclose the lien on the lot. Nonuse of common areas does not excuse payment.
• Amendments: The board may amend these bylaws, but owners representing at least 75% of total votes can override or repeal an amendment at a duly held meeting. In case of conflict with the Declaration or Articles, the Declaration controls.
• Books & Records: Association books and records are available for inspection by any member, with copies obtainable under Arizona law.
