Villas Altozano

What Villas Altozano's governing documents say

Villas Altozano is a condominium community in Scottsdale, AZ. You own your unit's interior airspace and share ownership of the building's common elements with other unit owners. The association maintains the common elements and you maintain your unit and certain limited common elements (like your private courtyard, windows, and doors).

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures) and are responsible for its maintenance, repair, and replacement. You also maintain limited common elements allocated to your unit, such as the private courtyard (interior face of yard walls), windows, doors, and the garage interior. The association maintains the exterior of buildings, common areas, and the exterior faces of yard walls.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for the entire unit (no room rentals) and for an initial term of at least six months. After that, renewals can be as short as 30 days. All leases must be in writing and include a provision that the tenant must follow the condo documents. You must notify the association of the lease start and end dates and tenant names.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common household pets (dogs, cats, or similar) are allowed. They must not cause noise, odor, or nuisance. Dogs must be leashed outside your unit. No pet structures visible from the exterior. The board can set additional pet rules.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles (cars, motorcycles) must be parked inside your garage. No trucks (except pickups or SUVs), trailers, campers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be parked on the property unless inside a garage. Visitor parking is available in designated common element spaces. Garage doors must remain closed except when entering or exiting.
• Architectural review: Structural changes to your unit require prior written approval from the Board of Directors and a licensed architect/engineer certification. Any alteration visible from the exterior (including window coverings, antennas, signs) also needs board approval. Non-structural interior changes do not require approval.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use by a single family. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, and don't create traffic or nuisance. No short-term rentals (under 6 months initially). No antennas, satellite dishes, or clotheslines visible outdoors. Window coverings must be white or natural wood when viewed from outside. Balconies cannot be used for storage.
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are shared equally among all units (each unit pays an equal percentage). The association may levy regular and special assessments. Late payment can lead to liens and enforcement. A working capital fund and reserves are maintained.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not include age restrictions, income limits, or affordable housing requirements. It also does not detail specific assessment amounts, insurance deductibles, or the association's bylaws (which are a separate document).
