Sands Scottsdale Two

What Sands Scottsdale Two's governing documents say

Sands Scottsdale Two is a single-family home HOA in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by the Sands Scottsdale Home Owners Association. Residents own their lot and residence; the association maintains common areas and enforces the rules in this 1973 declaration. The declaration sets the basic framework for property use, assessments, and architectural control.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association owns and maintains the common elements (e.g., recreational facilities, landscaping, pathways, streets) and bills owners through assessments.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, or other structure may be built or altered without prior written approval. Initially, American Builders, Inc. approves plans; after 39 new homes are built or 5 years, the review shifts to the association's board or its committee. Approval is deemed granted if no response within 30 days.
• Use restrictions: Lots are limited to single-family residential use only. No business, professional, commercial, religious, or institutional activities are allowed (except during construction/sales). No temporary structures, trailers, tents, or outbuildings may be used as residences. Each lot may have only one single-family dwelling, no more than two stories high.
• Pets: Only commonly accepted household pets are allowed. No animals, fish, or birds may be raised, bred, or kept for commercial purposes. Specifically prohibited: hogs, goats, cows, horses, poultry, rabbits, sheep, or pigeons.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, buses, or trailers (other than passenger automobiles and electric carts) are allowed on any lot without prior approval for screening or concealment from neighboring property and streets.
• Renting & leasing: A lot may be rented only as a whole (not partial) and only to a single family. No other rental restrictions (e.g., minimum term) are stated in this declaration.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner must pay annual assessments set by the board. The initial maximum annual assessment was $120 per lot. The board may increase it up to 10% per year without member vote; any larger increase requires a 2/3 vote of members. Special assessments for capital improvements also require 2/3 approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 8% annual interest and become a lien on the property.
• Amendments & duration: The declaration runs for 30 years from 1973, then renews for 10-year periods. During the first 30 years, amendments require 90% owner approval; thereafter, 75% approval is needed. An amendment must be recorded within 90 days before the end of a term to take effect.
