Desert Hills V Homeowners Association

What Desert Hills V Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Desert Hills V is a planned community homeowners association (HOA) in Green Valley, AZ — you own a lot/dwelling unit and are a mandatory member of the association. The documents provided are a partial set: a board resolution on enforcement policy & procedures (with a monetary penalty schedule), a tenant information form, articles of incorporation, and amended bylaws. The full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) is referenced but not included.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one occupant must be age 55 or older, and no person under 18 may reside permanently or stay longer than one month in any calendar year. This is enforced via the tenant information form and the monetary penalty guidelines (daily fines for violation).
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 30 days. Owners must provide tenant information (name, lease dates, etc.) to the HOA within 15 days of renting. Owners are ultimately responsible for tenant compliance and any resulting fines.
• Pets: Pets are allowed but subject to restrictions: no livestock, no commercial keeping/breeding, no nuisance, must be confined/leashed, and waste must be picked up. Violations incur $25 weekly fines (or daily for certain offenses).
• Parking & vehicles: Parking restrictions include a 72-hour grace period for residents and 14 days for guests. RVs, commercial vehicles, and inoperable/stored vehicles require separate permits or have higher fines (e.g., $150 weekly for RV parking violations). Violations incur $25 daily or $150 weekly penalties.
• Monetary penalties for violations: The board adopted a detailed penalty schedule effective April 5, 2022, with fines for specific violations. Most violations have a 10-day notification period and a $25 initial penalty, with weekly fines of $25 if unresolved. Some violations (e.g., nonconforming improvements) have higher initial fines ($250) and monthly penalties.
• Enforcement process: Violations typically start with a friendly reminder from a committee. If unresolved, the board issues a Notice of Violation, giving the owner at least 21 days to respond. A hearing is scheduled no earlier than 30 days after the notice. The board can then impose self-help, monetary penalties, record a notice of violation, or refer to legal action.
• Assessments & membership: Annual dues and assessments are set by the board unless changed by a member vote. Voting rights and privileges are suspended if assessments are delinquent for more than 30 days. Each lot has one vote; proxies are not allowed (only absentee ballots or written ballots).
• What this document doesn't cover: The full CC&Rs (including architectural guidelines, maintenance obligations, common area rules, and detailed use restrictions) are not included. The provided documents are ancillary: enforcement policy, penalty schedule, tenant form, and bylaws.
