Maricopa County Westbrook Village

What Maricopa County Westbrook Village's governing documents say

Westbrook Village is a master-planned community in Sun City, AZ, governed by a master association (Westbrook Village Association). This Restated Declaration sets the overarching rules for all residential units, including single-family homes, condominiums, and apartments. Individual neighborhoods may have separate sub-associations with additional rules. The community is age-restricted (55+) and has a master association that maintains common areas and enforces architectural standards.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one occupant per residential unit must be 55 years or older, and no one under 18 may reside except as a guest for up to 90 days per 12-month period. At least 80% of all units must have at least one person 55+. The Board may adopt more restrictive or less restrictive rules consistent with fair housing laws.
• Leasing & rentals: Residential units may be rented or leased only by written lease. Tenants must comply with the Declaration, Bylaws, and rules. Owners are responsible for tenant violations, and the Association may fine the owner and tenant, suspend common area use, and place a lien on the unit. No minimum lease term is specified.
• Pets: No livestock or poultry, but ordinary household pets are allowed subject to rules adopted by the Board. No commercial breeding or keeping. Specific numeric limits are not stated in this document, so board rules govern.
• Parking & vehicles: Private passenger vehicles must be parked in a carport, garage, driveway, or designated area. No recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, or inoperable vehicles may be kept on the property except inside an enclosed garage or for temporary loading/unloading as permitted by the Architectural Control Committee.
• Architectural review: All exterior modifications (fences, HVAC, solar panels, paint, etc.) require prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted; the ACC has 45 days to approve or disapprove, otherwise deemed approved. The ACC may delegate authority to sub-associations.
• Assessments & fees: General assessments are levied equally per unit (apartment buildings pay 20% per unit). Maximum general assessment was $250/unit in 1984, adjusted annually by CPI. Special assessments require 51% member vote. A Capital Preservation Assessment of up to $500 is due at purchase, with annual increases capped at 5% without vote. Assessments are liens on the property.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The Association maintains common areas at the expense of all members. Owners must landscape and maintain their own lot (if owned) and keep it free of debris and weeds. Association may step in and charge the owner if maintenance is not performed, with a lien for costs.
