Panorama Estates

What Panorama Estates's governing documents say

Panorama Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Tucson, AZ (lots 1–37). The governing rules come from a 1947 Declaration of Conditions and Restrictions, amended in 2026 to remove unlawful restrictions (likely racial covenants). These rules bind all lot owners and run with the land.

• Use restrictions: All lots must be used for private residence purposes only. No business, apartment houses, lodging houses, hotels, or hospitals. Occupants may have up to three paying guests for board/room without violating the lodging house restriction.
• Architectural review: Building plans, specifications, and plot plans must be approved in writing by the subdividers (their architect or agent) for conformity and harmony of external design and location. Approval/disapproval must occur within 30 days, or the requirement is waived. After 75% of lots are sold, owners may organize a committee to supersede the subdividers.
• Building standards: Minimum residence size: 1,000 sq ft of floor area above ground, not counting basements, open porches, or garages. Setbacks: at least 10 ft from front lot line, 6 ft from side lot lines. Structures must comply with Tucson building code. No temporary structures (trailers, tents, shacks) may be used as residences.
• Pets & livestock: No cattle, sheep, hogs, horses, rabbits, poultry, or other livestock. Ordinary domestic pet animals are permitted.
• Leasing & rentals: Not explicitly addressed beyond the allowance of up to three paying guests for board/room. No minimum or maximum lease term stated.
• Signs & advertising: No billboards or advertising signs, except reasonable signs related to sale or rental of the property. The subdividers are the sole judges of reasonableness.
• Duration & amendments: Restrictions originally effective until May 1, 1972, then automatically extend in 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners record termination. The 2026 amendment removed unlawful restrictions (as defined by A.R.S. §33-532) without affecting other restrictions.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is the original declaration plus a 2026 amendment. It does not address HOA fees, dues, assessments, common areas (other than utility easements), parking, or enforcement beyond court injunctions. There is no mention of a current homeowners association board or management company.
