Scottsdale Somerset Condominium

What Scottsdale Somerset Condominium's governing documents say

Scottsdale Somerset Condominium is a condominium community in Scottsdale, AZ. You own your unit individually and share ownership of common elements, which are maintained by the homeowners association. The declaration sets rules for residential use, pets, parking, exterior appearance, and more.

• Residential use & home business: Units must be used exclusively as residences. A home business is allowed only if it is not noticeable from outside the unit, complies with zoning, involves no customer visits, and does not disrupt the residential character.
• Pets: Only dogs, cats, fish, or birds kept as household pets are allowed (called 'Permitted Pets'). The board sets a reasonable limit. Dogs must be leashed outside and waste must be removed immediately. Pet structures visible from outside are prohibited. The board may adopt rules on pet size/weight with member approval.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicle repairs or storage of inoperable vehicles on the property. Parking is allowed only in designated parking spaces (some assigned as limited common elements). The board may tow vehicles parked in violation at the owner's expense.
• Signs & exterior appearance: No signs (including 'For Sale' or 'For Rent') are allowed on the building exterior or visible from outside without board approval. Window coverings must not be reflective; window tinting is prohibited except original. All exterior alterations must be approved by the board and match the color palette.
• Balconies & patios: Balcony furniture must be neutral-colored and board-approved; no BBQ grills, astro turf, or storage of non-balcony items (like bicycles). Patio items must not extend above the fence/wall without board approval.
• Alterations & improvements: Nonstructural changes inside a unit do not require board approval, but structural changes, or any change visible from outside, need prior written approval. The board may impose conditions such as insurance, deposits, and professional plan reviews.
• Assessments: The association levies regular assessments, special assessments, and other fees (e.g., enforcement, user fees) to cover common expenses, reserves, and operations. Specific amounts are not stated in this excerpt.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration includes a section on renting units (Section 4.15), but the specific terms (e.g., minimum lease duration, restrictions) are not available in this excerpt.
