Sonoran Commons

What Sonoran Commons's governing documents say

Sonoran Commons is a single-family home community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) establishes rules for all lot owners, residents, and guests regarding property use, maintenance, and architectural standards. Key requirements include HOA assessments, architectural approval for exterior changes, and restrictions on vehicles, pets, and rentals.

• Architectural review: Any exterior construction or modification (including fences, landscaping, paint, and structures) requires prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. Decisions may be based on purely aesthetic considerations. The committee can charge a review fee and require a compliance deposit.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay regular assessments (same amount per lot, cannot increase more than 20% year-over-year), special assessments (approved by 67% of voting members after developer control ends), and enforcement assessments for late fees or penalties. Nonpayment triggers interest at 10% per year, late fees, and a lien on the lot.
• Leasing & rentals: Lots may be rented, but the declaration includes restrictions (see Article 8.15). Specific minimum lease terms or limits are not fully legible, but rentals are subject to all community documents and owner responsibility for tenant compliance.
• Pets: Article 8.8 (Animals) restricts pets, but specific numbers (e.g., two pet limit) are not clearly readable. Expect limitations typical of HOAs; check the full Design Guidelines for details.
• Vehicles & parking: Only 'Permitted Motor Vehicles' (cars, mini-vans, SUVs, pickups, motorcycles, jeeps, station wagons) are allowed; commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, and boats are likely restricted. Parking and garage use are regulated (see Article 8.11-8.12).
• Maintenance responsibility: The association maintains common areas and certain elements within lots (Areas of Association Responsibility). Lot owners must maintain their own residences, landscaping, and other improvements to a standard set by the board. Improper maintenance may result in association intervention.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. Nuisances, commercial activity, construction debris, and improper drainage are prohibited. Flags, signs, antennas, and window coverings are regulated. Temporary buildings and playground equipment require approval.
