Santuario Homeowners Association

What Santuario Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is the Bylaws of the Santuario Homeowners Association, a standard single-family HOA in Scottsdale, AZ. It defines the internal governance and operating rules for the association — how meetings are run, how the board is elected and its powers, and fiscal management. Homeowners and residents should know these rules govern association operations, but the specific property-use restrictions (like pet rules, leasing limits, architectural guidelines) are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions.

• Meetings of Members: Annual meeting in March; special meetings callable by president/board or 1/4 of Class A members. Notice must be given 15–60 days in advance. Quorum is 30% of votes; if not met, a subsequent meeting may be held with a quorum of 15%. Proxies allowed, valid up to 11 months.
• Board of Directors: 3 to 7 members. After transition from developer control, directors serve staggered 3-year terms. Directors can be removed by 2/3 vote of members present. Vacancies filled by majority of remaining directors within 30 days. A director is automatically removed if more than 30 days delinquent on assessments or in violation of the Declaration or Architectural Guidelines.
• Officers: Principal officers are President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, elected annually by the board. Officers may be removed with or without cause. Secretary and treasurer may be the same person.
• Fiscal Management: Funds deposited in banks approved by board. Annual budget prepared and provided to owners at least 30 days before fiscal year. Financial records available for owner inspection with 10 days notice. Fiscal year is calendar year unless board changes.
• Amendments: Bylaws may be amended by majority vote of the board, but cannot conflict with the Declaration or Articles of Incorporation. The Declaration controls in case of conflict.
• What this document doesn't cover: Actual homeowner rules (pets, leasing, parking, architectural standards, etc.) are not in these Bylaws — they are found in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and any separate Rules and Regulations adopted by the board.
