Scottsdale Marquessa Condominium Association

What Scottsdale Marquessa Condominium Association's governing documents say

Scottsdale Marquessa is a 113-unit condominium in Scottsdale, Arizona — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building structure, grounds, and shared systems through the association. The association maintains the exterior, common areas, and master building insurance; you maintain your unit's interior, appliances, and exclusive patio/parking.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit interior, a patio or balcony, one assigned covered parking space, and exterior fixtures serving only your unit (doors, windows, shutters). You maintain all interior finishes, your appliances, unit-specific HVAC/electrical/plumbing, and your exclusive patio and parking area.
• Common elements & association maintenance: The association maintains the building exterior, roof, structural walls, common hallways, landscaping, recreational facilities, parking areas, main utility lines, and common systems. The association carries master insurance and funds maintenance through assessments levied per unit.
• Renovations & alterations: Minor work (paint, cabinets, appliances, some flooring) needs no approval or only Architectural Committee approval; major work (moving walls, electrical/HVAC/plumbing changes, new windows, exterior painting) requires both Architectural Committee and Board approval. Structural changes to common elements need 51% member vote and a licensed professional engineer.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must run at least 30 consecutive days, and you can lease only once per 12-month period. No more than 20% of all units can be leased to third parties at any time; exceptions include existing owners, family members (parents, children, grandchildren, siblings), and leases that were already in place when this amendment was recorded.
