Scottsdale Mountain Summit I

What Scottsdale Mountain Summit I's governing documents say

Scottsdale Mountain Summit I is a single-family residential HOA in Scottsdale, Arizona — you own your individual lot and house, with the association maintaining shared landscaping, easements, and common infrastructure. This community is also subject to a master association (Scottsdale Mountain Estates). The initial maximum annual assessment is $1,200 per lot, paid quarterly.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and house; you maintain the house (interior and exterior), your lot's landscaping (except easement areas), perimeter fencing, and termite control. The association maintains common areas, natural and drainage easements, perimeter wall exteriors, streets, guard services, and shared facilities like the entrance and bell tower.
• Assessments & payment: Initial maximum annual assessment is $1,200 per lot, billed quarterly in advance. The board can increase assessments annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) without a vote. Increases beyond CPI require a 2/3 member vote. Late payments (after 20 days) accrue 18% annual interest and create a lien on your property.
• Building & architectural requirements: New homes must be at least 2,500 square feet of livable area, built within the approved 'Building Envelope,' and completed within 15 months of starting construction. All architectural plans require committee approval. Landscaping outside the building envelope must use only native plants; non-native plants inside the envelope are permitted up to 20 feet in height. No relocated or temporary structures are allowed.
• Architectural review: A three-member Architectural Control Committee approves all exterior changes and new construction. The committee may charge a processing fee. If the committee does not approve or disapprove your application within 30 days, non-required (non-regulatory) items are automatically deemed approved.
• Use restrictions: Properties are restricted to single-family residential use only. No temporary structures (trailers, tents, shacks) are permitted as residences. The document references additional rules on nuisances, animals, parking, and exterior alterations, enforced by the HOA and detailed in its rules and regulations.
• Liability for damage to common areas: If your negligence or intentional acts damage common areas or easements, you are liable for $10 per square foot of damage plus the actual repair cost. Unpaid repair invoices become a lien after 10 days and accrue 18% annual interest.
• Voting rights: Each lot owner receives one vote. However, owners cannot vote in HOA affairs until the developer (Declarant) has finished selling all lots in the development. If your assessments are 15 or more days delinquent, your voting rights are suspended until you bring payments current.
• Master association oversight: This property is subject to the master CC&Rs of Scottsdale Mountain Estates. The master association and local government can impose additional approval requirements that are separate from this HOA's architectural committee approval.
