Sanctuary at Desert Ridge

What Sanctuary at Desert Ridge's governing documents say

Sanctuary At Desert Ridge is a standard single-family residential homeowners association (HOA) within the larger Desert Ridge master-planned community in Scottsdale, AZ. This declaration governs all lots, common areas, and residents, and is supplemented by a Master Declaration. The text provided is a partial excerpt (Articles 1 through 5 of a longer document), so some rules (e.g., rentals, pets, parking) are referenced in the table of contents but their actual terms are not included here.

• Architectural review: No construction, modification, or exterior change to a lot may be made without prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). During the Declarant Control Period, the builder Taylor Morrison appoints the ARC; later, the Board takes over. The ARC may base decisions purely on aesthetics, and if it fails to act within 45 days of a complete application, approval is deemed granted. A review fee and optional compliance deposit may be required.
• Easements & access: Every owner, tenant, and guest has an easement to use common areas (subject to rules and suspensions for nonpayment or violation). Utility easements exist over common areas and lots for installation and maintenance. The Association and ARC have a right to enter lots (excluding residence interiors) for inspections, maintenance, and enforcement. The Declarant retains extensive development easements (e.g., for models, sales offices, signs) until the Declarant Control Period ends.
• Master Association relationship: This community is part of the Desert Ridge master-planned community. Owners automatically become members of the Desert Ridge Community Association and must comply with the Master Declaration. Master Association assessments are in addition to this community’s assessments. In conflicts, the Master Declaration governs. The Master Association also holds a maintenance easement over this community’s common areas if the local association fails to maintain them.
• Assessments (summary from partial text): The Association can levy Regular, Special, Enforcement, and Benefited Property Assessments. Regular assessments are to be determined by the Board; no specific amount or formula is given in this excerpt. Assessments create a lien on the lot. Owners more than 15 days delinquent may lose common area use (except street access).
• What this document doesn't cover: The provided text ends partway through Article 5. Sections on use restrictions (rentals, pets, vehicles, signs, etc.) listed in the table of contents are not included here. For complete rules, refer to the full recorded declaration.
