The Sonoran Cottages at Desert Mountain

What The Sonoran Cottages at Desert Mountain's governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs) for The Sonoran Cottages at Desert Mountain, a single-family home village within the larger Desert Mountain master-planned community in Scottsdale, AZ. It establishes a village homeowners association, defines common areas, and imposes rules on use, maintenance, and assessments that apply to all lot owners and occupants. The community is part of a master association and does not include golf club or private recreational facilities.

• Residential use only: Lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only; business use is generally prohibited unless it is not detectable from outside the lot and consistent with residential character.
• Architectural & landscape control: All exterior changes to a lot, including buildings, landscaping, and colors, require prior approval by a Design Review Committee following adopted Design Guidelines.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner must pay regular assessments, capital improvement assessments, and individual charges to fund common expenses, with late payments accruing interest at a default rate (prime plus 4%, minimum 18%). Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
• Common areas & access: Owners and occupants have a nonexclusive easement to use common areas (e.g., private roads, open space) but may be suspended for rule violations or delinquent assessments. The association maintains common areas and may install security gates.
• Use restrictions (pets, vehicles, signs): The declaration restricts animals, signs, boats, motor vehicles, antennas, garbage, and other nuisances; specific limitations are detailed in association rules and design guidelines (exact pet limits or vehicle types not specified in the provided text).
• Leasing & rentals: The table of contents references a section on rental or leasing of lots (Section 11.17), but the full text is not included; owners should refer to the complete declaration for lease term minimums or restrictions.
