Villa De Cholla Amended

What Villa De Cholla Amended's governing documents say

Villa De Cholla Amended is a single-family residential community in Scottsdale, Arizona, where you own your individual lot and the homeowners association maintains shared common elements (roads, recreation areas, pools, landscaping, utilities). The association is governed by lot owners through voting and funded by per-lot assessments.

• Assessments & monthly costs: Regular assessments are due monthly (1st through 15th) for your proportionate share of common expenses. The initial maximum is $420/year for an improved lot (or 10% of that for unimproved lots); annual increases are capped at 10% without a member vote, requiring 2/3 member approval if higher. Unpaid assessments bear interest at the highest legal rate and create a lien the association can foreclose.
• Voting rights & governance: Each lot owner has one vote; the developer initially has three votes per lot (converting to one when conditions are met by December 31, 1982). Your voting rights are suspended if an assessment remains unpaid 15+ days after written notice. The Board makes most decisions; member votes resolve disputes or disputes go to arbitration.
• What the association maintains & pays for: The association maintains all common elements (roads, recreational facilities, pools, walkways, parking, landscaping) and front-yard irrigation/lawns on every lot. The association also carries master insurance on these shared facilities. Costs are covered by regular assessments and special assessments for unanticipated needs.
• What you maintain & pay for: You are responsible for all interior decoration, painting, flooring, and window treatments inside your building. You also pay for any damage to other lots or common elements caused by your own alterations or improvements.
• Architectural review & exterior changes: Interior changes need no approval. Any exterior alteration visible from neighboring property—including paint color, landscaping changes, or structural modifications—requires prior Board or Architectural Committee approval. Committee decisions are final; if they don't respond within 30 days of a complete application, approval is deemed granted, provided the work matches your submitted plans exactly.
• Party wall responsibilities: Walls built on the property line between your lot and a neighbor's lot are party walls. If you or your family/tenants damage one, you pay for full repair. If damage results from other causes, both adjoining owners share repair costs equally. Any modification affecting a party wall's structure requires written consent from all owners with an interest in that wall.
• Your rights in common elements: You and your family, tenants, or licensees can use common facilities, but the association can limit guests, charge reasonable fees for recreation, and suspend your recreational privileges for up to 60 days for rule violations or 15+ days if assessments are delinquent.
