Villa Pequena

What Villa Pequena's governing documents say

Villa Pequena is a single-family home subdivision in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). All lots are for single-family residential use only. Owners and their tenants must follow use restrictions on leasing, pets, vehicles, and property appearance. The HOA maintains common areas and enforces the rules through assessments and penalties.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. You are responsible for maintaining your property in good condition, including repairs, painting, and landscaping. The HOA maintains common areas (Tracts A-C) and certain landscaping in 'Association Maintenance Areas' originally built by the developer.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire lot, and for a term of at least 30 days. Transient or hotel use is prohibited. Tenants have no voting rights. Owners must submit a copy of the lease to the HOA and are responsible for tenant compliance.
• Pets: Only customary household pets (dogs, cats, birds) are allowed. No livestock or poultry. Pets must be kept under control, leashed in common areas, and waste promptly removed. The HOA board can decide if a pet is a nuisance and require removal.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles or recreational vehicles (campers, boats, trailers) may be parked where visible from other lots or streets for more than 24 consecutive hours. Standard pickup trucks used for business and personal use are allowed if commercial markings are unobtrusive. Street parking is limited to 24 hours. No vehicles in common areas except for HOA operations.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) must approve any external changes, including fencing, sheds, antennas, solar collectors, satellite dishes, and house additions. No structure may be built without prior written approval. Minimum house size is 1,500 livable square feet. Garages cannot be converted to living space without ACC approval.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual assessments determined by the HOA board. The maximum annual assessment can increase up to 10% per year or by the Consumer Price Index, whichever is greater. Higher increases require a 2/3 vote. Late payments incur 12% interest and a $25 late charge. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property and can be foreclosed.
• Use restrictions: No business or trade may be conducted on a lot unless it is a home office that is not detectable from outside and complies with zoning. Only one 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign per lot (max 5 sq ft). No outdoor basketball hoops (except portable ones stored out of front yard). Storage sheds and play equipment must not be visible from the front or exceed fence height. Garbage cans must be screened except on collection days.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not specify assessment dollar amounts, pool rules, or details about HOA meetings beyond quorum requirements. It also does not address age restrictions or affordability programs; the community is not age-restricted or income-limited.
