Coyote Lakes

What Coyote Lakes's governing documents say

Coyote Lakes is a master-planned community in Surprise, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (the Coyote Lakes Community Association). This document is the Restated Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, which sets the rules for all property within the community, including single-family residential lots, commercial parcels, and a golf course. It applies to homeowners, residents, and tenants, outlining use restrictions, maintenance responsibilities, and association powers.

• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration, construction, or landscaping requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. This includes buildings, fences, color schemes, grading, and even antennas or satellite dishes visible from neighboring property. The Declarant is exempt from these requirements.
• Pets & animals: Only reasonable numbers of common house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets only. They must be fenced or leashed, not cause nuisance, and droppings must be removed promptly. Structures for pets must not be visible from neighboring property unless approved.
• Leasing & rentals: Rental leases must be in writing and expressly subject to the Declaration, Rules, and Guidelines. The entire dwelling unit and lot may be leased to a single family. Owners must notify the association of any lease and remain liable for tenant compliance.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be kept in garages or designated parking areas. No trucks over 3/4-ton, mobile homes, RVs, boats, or trailers may be stored visibly from neighboring property or streets, with limited exceptions for smaller pickups and mini-motor homes used daily. No inoperable vehicles or major repairs outdoors.
• Signs: No signs visible from neighboring property except those required by law, small residential identification signs (up to 72 sq. in.), and other signs (for sale, construction, etc.) approved by the Architectural Committee and conforming to city requirements.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners must maintain landscaping on their lot, adjacent public right-of-way areas, and portions of common area adjacent to their property. They must also keep buildings in good repair. The association maintains common areas and perimeter walls structurally, but owners pay half of structural repair costs for walls on or near their property.
• Golf course use: The golf course land is privately owned and not common area. It must be used as a golf course for at least 20 years from recording, after which it may become open space or another use approved by 80% of association members. The golf course is not subject to most use restrictions, and exterior speakers are permitted.
