The Reserve at Black Mountain

What The Reserve at Black Mountain's governing documents say

The Reserve at Black Mountain is a planned residential community in Scottsdale, Arizona, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions that creates a mandatory homeowners association. Lot owners must obtain design review approval before making any exterior changes, pay regular assessments, and comply with restrictions on lot subdivision, timesharing, and certain vehicle types.

• Architectural review & modifications: Any exterior construction or modification requires written approval from the Design Review Committee before starting work. If the committee doesn't respond within 45 days of receiving a complete application, approval is automatically granted. No changes to approved plans are permitted without new written approval.
• Design Review Committee standards: The committee sets guidelines on building size, height, style, landscaping, colors, materials, and placement. Decisions are made purely on aesthetic grounds; the committee can deny a project it views as undesirable or unattractive even if it meets the design guidelines.
• Review fees & compliance deposits: A review fee is required with each application; it covers processing costs and any professional consultations. The committee may also require a compliance deposit to ensure proper construction cleanup and plan adherence, refunded after the project is completed and inspected.
• Permitted & prohibited vehicles: Allowed vehicles are standard passenger cars, vans (up to 10 people), sport utility vehicles, street-legal motorcycles, jeeps, and pickup trucks with ≤1-ton payload capacity. Prohibited vehicles include buses, large vans (>10 people), trucks, RVs, motor homes, non-street-legal motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, boats, and vehicles with more than two axles; the Board may modify these classifications.
• Property ownership restrictions: Owners cannot subdivide lots, sell portions of a lot, replat, or allow timesharing without prior written approval from the declarant and association. Views are not guaranteed and carry no protective easement—even a lot purchased at a premium price offers no guarantee of view preservation.
• Community association & assessments: A nonprofit association manages common areas and collects regular, special, and enforcement assessments from all lot owners to cover maintenance and administration. Unpaid assessments become a lien against the property.
• What this document excerpt doesn't show: This is a partial excerpt from the full Declaration. Specific assessment amounts, lease and rental terms, pet/animal rules, parking location restrictions, and detailed architectural design guidelines are referenced in the full document but not included in this excerpt.
