The Villas at Desert Park Village — DC Ranch Parcel 1.15 and 1.16

What The Villas at Desert Park Village — DC Ranch Parcel 1.15 and 1.16's governing documents say

This is a townhome/attached-home community in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). Owners own their lot and residential unit, but the association maintains certain exterior elements (roofs, exterior painting, common areas). The declaration sets rules on architecture, use, parking, pets, leasing, and assessments, and it operates under a master community (DC Ranch) with additional layers of rules.

• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement visible from neighboring property—including changes to color, structure, or landscaping—requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Approval is deemed granted if no decision within 60 days of submission.
• Parking & vehicles: Motor vehicles must be parked in garages except as allowed; guest parking limited to 72 hours per 7-day period. No inoperable or visible vehicle repairs exceeding 72 hours. Garage doors must stay closed except when in use.
• Pets: No livestock; up to 3 dogs, 3 cats, or combined total of 4 domestic pets allowed. Animals must be leashed or enclosed; owners must clean up after them. Outdoor structures for animals must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for at least 90 days; transient/hotel use prohibited. Owners must notify the association and provide a copy of the lease. Owners remain liable for tenant violations.
• Home businesses: Home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside, comply with laws, involve infrequent visitor traffic, and are consistent with residential character. Leasing a unit is not considered a business.
• Private courtyards: Plants, furniture, and decorative items in private courtyards require Architectural Committee approval. Items must be movable to allow repainting. No affixing items to courtyard walls.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board, initially up to $4,200 per lot, with annual increases tied to CPI or 10%, whichever is greater. A transfer fee up to half the annual assessment is due when a lot is sold by a non-declarant. A working capital fund of up to one annual assessment is paid by each initial purchaser.
