Horseshoe Bay HOA

What Horseshoe Bay HOA's governing documents say

This document is the Articles of Incorporation for Horseshoe Bay Homeowners Association, a standard single-family HOA in Sun City, AZ. It creates the association as a nonprofit corporation to manage common areas and enforce the community's CC&Rs. The document defines the association's corporate structure, powers, and governance, but it does not contain the detailed rules that directly affect homeowners — those are in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Bylaws.

• What this document is: These are the Articles of Incorporation, which legally form the homeowners association as a nonprofit corporation under Arizona law. This document is not the full rulebook; it outlines the association's basic structure and authority.
• Association purpose and powers: The association's primary purpose is to manage, operate, maintain, and provide architectural control over the common property and any other areas of association responsibility. It has the power to levy assessments, collect fines, borrow money, mortgage common area (with 2/3 member vote), and dedicate or transfer common area to public agencies.
• Membership and voting rights: The qualifications, voting rights, and assessment liabilities of members are defined in the separate Declaration and Bylaws, not in this document. Amendments to the Articles require a 75% vote of the total voting power.
• Board of Directors: The association is managed by a board of 3 to 5 directors, with the exact number set by the Bylaws. The initial directors are listed in the document.
• Dissolution: Upon dissolution, after paying debts, remaining assets are divided equally among members, unless the association holds assets in trust, in which case Arizona nonprofit law applies.
• Amendment process: Articles can be amended by a 75% vote of the total voting power, but amendments must not conflict with the Master Declaration. If FHA or VA has approved the development, certain actions (annexation, merger, mortgage of common area, etc.) require their prior approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify any use restrictions, age limits, pet rules, leasing terms, parking rules, architectural standards, fee amounts, or any other day-to-day rules for homeowners. Those are found in the CC&Rs, Bylaws, and other governing documents.
