Saddle Rock Ranch

What Saddle Rock Ranch's governing documents say

Saddle Rock Ranch is a single-family residential community in Scottsdale, Arizona, governed by a homeowners association. You own your individual lot outright; the association maintains shared common areas and enforces design and use standards through a Design Review Board.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and your home (minimum 3,000 sq ft); you're responsible for all maintenance, repairs, and landscaping on your property. The association maintains common areas, shared facilities, and perimeter landscaping, including an equestrian trail.
• Residential use & restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only; home-based occupations permitted under city zoning. No commercial operations, temporary structures, hotels, or lodging allowed. Entire lots may be leased or rented, but not subdivided; minimum lot size is 20,000 sq ft.
• Home design & construction: All improvements require Design Review Board approval. Homes must be single-story (max 24 ft high), with specific setbacks (25 ft front, 25–35 ft rear, 10 ft side minimum depending on lot). Restrictions on roof materials, reflective surfaces, satellite dishes, and outdoor lighting apply. Garages must accommodate three full-sized automobiles.
• Architectural review process: A Design Review Board (initially appointed by the developer, with up to 3 members and 2 alternates) reviews and approves all exterior changes, from new construction to landscaping and accessory placement. All designs must comply with architectural guidelines and zoning setbacks.
• Pets & animals: Commonly accepted household pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) are allowed in reasonable numbers as determined by the association. Pets must be restrained by fence, cage, or leash and cannot eliminate waste in common areas or other lots.
• Vehicles & parking: Vehicles must be parked overnight in enclosed garages or designated parking areas only. No overnight street parking except temporarily with board approval. No vehicles may be stored, neglected, or abandoned outside enclosed structures; the board may adopt specific rules for recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers.
• Assessments & fees: Owners pay uniform regular assessments per lot to cover common area maintenance, management, and insurance. Special assessments may be charged for repairs caused by owner negligence or to enforce compliance. Capital improvement assessments require member vote. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property (at default rate of 18% or greater per annum) and have priority over subsequent liens (except first mortgages).
• Homeowners association governance: Every lot owner is a member of the nonprofit association. The board (3–7 directors) manages common areas and enforces rules. Voting: regular owners get 1 vote per lot; the original developer initially gets 10 votes per lot until the last developer lot is sold or 5 years have passed. Voting rights are suspended if an owner is 15+ days delinquent on assessments.
