Aviary Condominium Association of Sun City West

What Aviary Condominium Association of Sun City West's governing documents say

Aviary Condominium Association is a 55+ active-adult condominium in Sun City West, Arizona. You own your individual unit and share the building's common areas and recreation facilities, maintained by the Association and Recreation Centers funded by per-unit assessments. Unit ownership includes automatic Recreation Center membership with voting rights (unless assessments are overdue).

• Age & occupancy: At least one resident must be at least 55 years old; no one under 19 may reside in the unit except for visiting.
• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior, patio, and entry walkway. You maintain all interior systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances) and pest control. The Association maintains exterior surfaces, roofs, driveways, and common landscaping.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is generally prohibited as of February 10, 2005. Only owners already renting before that date may continue (until they sell, die, or stop renting for 12 consecutive months). The Board may permit short-term rentals for hardship (death, illness, transfer). Any renter must be 55+ years old.
• Recreation Centers & voting: Unit ownership automatically grants tied membership in the Recreation Centers with voting rights in Association elections and special assessment votes (voting rights suspend if assessments are 30+ days overdue). Membership cannot be transferred separately from the unit.
• Assessments & fees: Monthly per-unit assessments (uniform rate) fund common area and recreation maintenance. Special assessments for capital improvements require member approval (51% vote). Unpaid assessments after 30 days incur 15% annual interest and become a lien subject to foreclosure.
• Pets: A reasonable number of domestic house or yard pets are allowed if they don't create unreasonable noise or nuisance. Pet housing structures cannot be visible from neighboring properties or common areas.
• Parking & vehicles: Only passenger vehicles are permitted in common areas and on public streets. Recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, campers, commercial vehicles, and mobile homes are prohibited (except short-term repairs/parking up to 72 hours per calendar month).
• Architectural review & exterior changes: All exterior modifications (painting, landscaping, fences, lighting, antennas) require written Board approval before work begins. The Board has 30 days to approve or deny; no response within 30 days means approval is deemed granted.
