Rosalee Ranch

What Rosalee Ranch's governing documents say

Rosalee Ranch is a 40-lot single-family home subdivision in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners and occupants, setting rules for use, maintenance, and architectural control to preserve the community's character.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The HOA maintains landscape easements (entry strips and an equestrian trail) on certain lots, funded by common expenses. You must maintain any natural wash or drainage way on your lot, as well as any perimeter wall along your boundary, keeping it in its original form and color.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alterations, changes in landscaping, grading, or drainage visible from other lots must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee. Plans are automatically approved if the committee fails to act within 60 days after submission. The committee initially consists of three members appointed by the Board.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No more than three unrelated persons may occupy a dwelling. Household pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) are allowed but not for commercial purposes, and must not become a nuisance. No livestock, horses, or reptiles. Signs limited to one 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign up to 4 square feet. No spotlights or high-intensity lighting past 10 pm or that shines on other lots without approval. No window air conditioners.
• Party walls: Walls or fences on lot boundaries are shared party structures. Owners share repair costs equally unless damage is caused by one owner, who bears the full cost. Disputes are resolved by the Board. Each owner must allow access for repairs upon reasonable notice.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA can levy annual common expense assessments and special assessments (for capital improvements) with 67% owner approval. The maximum annual assessment is adjusted by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from a base set at the first lot sale. Assessments are a lien on the lot if unpaid, with 15% annual interest and up to 25% late fee. Voting rights may be suspended for nonpayment.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted but subject to the single-family occupancy limit (no more than three unrelated persons). 'For Rent' signs are limited to one sign of up to 4 square feet. There is no minimum lease term specified in this document.
• Amendment & duration: The CC&Rs run for 20 years from recording (1986) and auto-renew every 10 years. Amendments require 75% of votes during the first 20 years and 57% thereafter. Certain amendments may require higher percentages as specified in the document.
