Mountain View East Association

What Mountain View East Association's governing documents say

Mountain View East is a single-family residential community in Scottsdale, Arizona—you own your individual lot and home, while the association maintains shared common amenities (perimeter walls, landscaping, entry signs) funded by per-unit assessments. The covenants bind all owners and their successors.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home outright; the association owns and maintains the perimeter walls, entry landscaping, signs, and common areas. You're responsible for maintaining your home's exterior, including painting and yard upkeep.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are required; the first-year maximum is $60/year ($5/month), with each lot paying 1/51 of the total. Monthly payments allowed. Assessments can increase after year one with board or member approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 8% annual interest, become a lien, and cannot be avoided by non-use or abandonment.
• Architectural review: Plans for new structures or exterior changes must be submitted for Board or committee approval. Approval must come within 30 days; if not granted or denied within that time, approval is deemed automatic.
• Use restrictions: Limited to single-family residential; no temporary structures, no chain-link or metal fencing. Boats, motor homes, trailers, and campers allowed only in the rear half of the lot, enclosed by 6+ foot walls. Household pets permitted. Antennas restricted to heights set by the Board. Garage doors must remain closed except in use.
• Voting rights & membership: Membership is automatic upon lot ownership. Regular owners have one vote per lot; the developer initially has three votes per lot until either 3 years pass or Class A votes equal Class B votes. Voting rights are suspended if assessments are 15+ days delinquent.
• Party walls (if applicable): If party walls exist on lot dividing lines, repair costs are shared equally by adjoining owners. If damaged by one owner's negligence or willful act, that owner is liable for full repair. Disputes are resolved by arbitration.
• Yard maintenance standards: The Board establishes front-yard maintenance standards that all owners must meet. If an owner fails to maintain their front yard, the association may perform the work and charge the cost to the owner as an assessment/lien.
• Common amenities & easements: The association maintains perimeter walls and landscaping. Utility companies have easements to run water, sewer, gas, telephone, and electrical lines/poles across properties for system maintenance and repairs.
