Springer Ranch

What Springer Ranch's governing documents say

Springer Ranch is a single-family detached home community in Scottsdale/Peoria, Arizona, where you own your individual lot and home. The community enforces extensive architectural and design standards through a Design Review Committee, with detailed restrictions on landscaping, exterior materials, structures, and land use to maintain neighborhood character.

• Architectural Review & Design Control: Nearly all exterior changes—additions, alterations, landscaping, fences, walls, colors, and utilities—require prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. No deviations from approved plans are allowed without additional approval. The committee approves all design guidelines and has the right to inspect your lot during reasonable hours with notice (except the interior of completed homes).
• Landscaping Requirements & Timeline: Visible landscaping must be completed within 90 days of receiving a certificate of occupancy. All landscaping visible from neighboring properties or common areas requires Design Review Committee approval. You are responsible for ongoing maintenance of lawns, plants, hedges, trees, and adjacent public right-of-way areas.
• Roofing & Exterior Materials: Pitched roofs must use clay or concrete tile. All fences and walls must be integral-color cinder block (wrought iron inserts allowed if approved and painted to match). Side and rear fences are limited to 6 feet in height. Chain link and wire fencing are prohibited. Exterior colors and all materials require Design Review approval.
• Utilities & Equipment Restrictions: All utility lines (electrical, telephone, cable, water, sewer, gas) must be installed underground in conduits or cables. No solar panels, air conditioning units, heating equipment, ventilation systems, antennas, or satellite dishes can be visible from neighboring properties without Design Review approval. Roofs cannot have any structural equipment.
• Permitted Uses & Home-Based Work: Lots are for single-family residential use only. You may maintain a private office for personal work, but no home-based business, profession, trade, or commercial activity is allowed. One detached dwelling, one guest house, one outbuilding, and one tennis or sport court are permitted per lot.
• Pets & animals: A 'reasonable number' of domestic house or yard pets are allowed (the Board determines what is reasonable). No animals of any kind are permitted before the City issues a certificate of occupancy. Animals cannot create unreasonable noise or become a nuisance, and no housing structures for animals can be visible from neighboring properties.
• Construction Rules & Nuisance Restrictions: During construction, maintain neat conditions, use enclosed trash containers, provide temporary toilets, and immediately remove dirt and debris from streets. No exterior speakers, horns, bells, whistles, or fireworks are allowed. All construction materials and equipment must be stored in Design Review Committee-approved areas. Violations can trigger Board action, including completion at your expense.
• Assessments & Homeowner Fees: The Association levies annual regular assessments per lot, plus special assessments for capital improvements and capital reserve assessments. Non-payment results in an assessment lien on your property and collection costs plus interest. Design review plan fees also apply.
