The Island at Scottsdale Ranch

What The Island at Scottsdale Ranch's governing documents say

The Island at Scottsdale Ranch is a townhome/attached residential community in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (The Island at Scottsdale Ranch Owners Association). It is part of the larger master-planned Scottsdale Ranch community, which imposes additional assessments and rules. Owners own individual lots with attached residences (common walls may exist) and share common areas.

• Land use & residential restrictions: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. No business activity is allowed unless it is not detectable from outside, conforms to zoning, and does not involve customers coming to the lot. Temporary structures for residences are prohibited, and lots cannot be further subdivided.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for a term of 12 months or more. If a lease is terminated early, the owner cannot re-lease the lot until the 12-month period expires. Owners must submit a rental registration form to the association for each new tenant. Tenants must agree to abide by all governing documents, and owners remain liable for tenant violations.
• Pets: A reasonable number of domestic pets (no commercial breeding) are allowed. Pets must be leashed (max 6 ft) when off the owner's lot, and owners must immediately remove droppings. No animal may cause a nuisance, and pet structures must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: No overnight street parking; vehicles must be parked in garages, carports, or driveways. Restrictions apply to trucks over 3/4 ton, trailers, boats, recreational vehicles, and commercial vehicles. Inoperable vehicles and vehicle repairs visible from the street are prohibited. The association may tow violators at owner expense.
• Architectural review: All exterior alterations (including color changes, additions, landscaping changes) require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee and the Board. If no decision is made within 60 days of a complete application, approval is deemed granted. Approval from the Master Association may also be required.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas and front yards (from street to exterior wall of the residence), including landscaping and irrigation. Owners maintain the rest of their lot, residence, and improvements. Lakefront easement areas are maintained by the association. Owners may request to maintain their own front yard with board approval.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied at a uniform rate per lot (75% rate for lots 76-80). Lakefront lots pay additional lakefront assessments. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. A transfer fee equal to 25% of one year's common assessment is due upon sale. Late payments accrue interest at 12% per annum and may result in a lien and foreclosure.
