Villas at Desert Camp

What Villas at Desert Camp's governing documents say

Villas at Desert Camp is a single-family home community within the larger DC Ranch master-planned community in Scottsdale, AZ. It is governed by its own homeowners association (Villas at Desert Camp Community Association) and also subject to master declarations (Ranch, Community Council, Covenant) that may impose additional rules and fees. The document establishes residential use, architectural control, maintenance obligations, and assessment collection for the neighborhood.

• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for 90 days or longer. A copy of the lease must be provided to the association, and the lease must require the tenant to comply with all governing documents.
• Architectural review: All exterior alterations, including structures, color schemes, and landscaping, require approval from the Covenant Commission (the DC Ranch design review body). Improvements must also comply with City of Scottsdale ordinances.
• Parking & vehicles: On-street parking and parking on common driveways is prohibited. Vehicles must be kept in garages; guest parking only in designated areas. No vehicles visible from neighboring property may park on grass or gravel. Limited short-term parking allowed for loading, guests, and special events.
• Pets: Only generally recognized house pets allowed, in reasonable numbers, kept as domestic pets (not commercial). No structure for animals visible from neighboring property. Pets must not create unreasonable noise or nuisance.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments initially capped at $2,640 per lot, subject to annual increases (max 5% or CPI, plus utility/insurance increases). Special assessments require 2/3 member vote. A capital reserve fee (half the annual assessment) is due upon purchase, and a transfer fee (initially $50) for resales.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas, private roadways, access gates, and periodic exterior painting of homes (including roofs and perimeter wall screening). Owners are responsible for interior maintenance, windows, doors, air conditioning units, landscaping, and party wall repairs (shared with neighbors).
• Use restrictions: All lots are for single-family residential use only; no commercial activity. Temporary structures, antennas (visible), outside clotheslines (unless screened), and further subdivision are prohibited. Owners must keep lots free of weeds and debris.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is supplemental to the DC Ranch Master Declarations (Ranch Declaration, Community Council Declaration, Covenant), which may contain additional rules, fees, and design standards not repeated here. It does not address age restrictions, specific amenity details (e.g., pool, clubhouse), or interior unit regulations.
