Treasure Canyon Estates

What Treasure Canyon Estates's governing documents say

Treasure Canyon Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Scottsdale, AZ — you own your lot and house, and the homeowners association (Treasure Canyon Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.) maintains the common areas (Tracts A–F) including landscaping, drainage, and dry wells, funded by uniform assessments per lot.

• Architecture & alterations: All exterior changes (structural, painting, fences, antennas, satellite dishes, landscaping) must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee. Houses must be no more than 2 stories with an attached 2‑car garage. No temporary structures, trailers, or tents; no moving a building onto the lot.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance. Initial maximum annual assessment was $228 per lot ($19/month). The Board can increase the annual assessment each year by the Consumer Price Index increase and by actual cost increases for utilities, taxes, or common area needs without a membership vote. Increases above that require 2/3 vote of each membership class. Special assessments also require 2/3 vote. Assessments are due as set by the Board; delinquent assessments accrue 18% annual interest, become a lien, and can be foreclosed.
• Pets & animals: Household pets (e.g., dogs, cats) are allowed but not for commercial purposes. On Lots 1–36, a maximum of 2 horses per lot may be kept. Owners must keep pets under control, clean up deposits, and avoid nuisance (e.g., barking). Failure can result in forfeiture of the right to keep the pet.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, boats, campers, RVs, or trailers may be parked on a private street or lot for more than 12 hours without written approval from the Association, unless screened behind a wall or RV gate, or enclosed in a garage. No vehicles on blocks or jacks.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single‑family residential use only. No business, professional, commercial, religious, or institutional uses, except home occupations allowed by local zoning. No outside clotheslines. No subdivision of lots or time‑share ownership. Signs limited to 24" × 30"; no unauthorized signs. All utility lines must be underground.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners maintain their house, yard, and landscaping. Front yard landscaping must be approved within 120 days of closing and installed within 10 months. The Association maintains common areas (Tracts A–F). If an Owner fails to maintain their property after 15 days’ notice, the Association may do the work and charge the Owner as a special assessment.
• Party walls: Walls built on Lot dividing lines are party walls. Repair and maintenance costs are shared equally by the adjoining Owners whose use of the wall caused the need. Damage from an Owner’s act is that Owner’s responsibility. Disputes go to arbitration under Association rules or a 3‑arbitrator panel.
