Northwood Glen

What Northwood Glen's governing documents say

Northwood Glen is a single-family home subdivision in Sun City, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions that runs with the land. The rules focus on architectural standards, building requirements, and land use—not on fees, assessments, or a formal homeowner association board. These covenants bind all lot owners and are intended to maintain a consistent, upscale residential character.

• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee must approve all buildings, fences, walls, landscaping, and exterior changes before work begins. The committee has 2 weeks to respond; if no decision, the application is deemed approved. After 90% of lots are sold, owners elect the 3 members.
• Building standards & materials: Main dwellings must be at least 2,000 sq ft (ground floor, livable area), no more than 2 stories. Exteriors must be brick, colored block, or painted/colored stucco; wood siding limited. Roofs must be tile, wood shake, or flat with parapet — no asphalt shingles. Accessory buildings/garages minimum 720 sq ft, must be in rear yard, and cannot be built until main dwelling is started.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Front yards must be landscaped within 5 months of occupancy. Lawns and fences must be regularly maintained. All garbage must be in closed containers; no burning. Clotheslines, equipment, and storage must be screened from view.
• Pets: Only customary household pets allowed; no horses, poultry, or other farm animals.
• Signs: Only one 'For Sale' sign up to 2 sq ft per lot. Developer may use larger signs until lots are sold.
• Term & amendments: Covenants run until Oct 1, 2000, then automatically extend for successive 10-year periods. They may be amended or revoked by a recorded instrument signed by the Declarant (if still owns lots) and 60% of lot owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not establish an HOA with dues, assessments, or a board of directors. It does not address leasing restrictions, age requirements, or parking rules beyond requiring vehicles to be stored in garages.
