The Grand Homeowners Association

What The Grand Homeowners Association's governing documents say

The Grand (Sun City Grand Community Association) in Surprise, AZ, is an active-adult homeowners association (HOA) intended for residents aged 45 and older. This document is a reference guide to the community's rules and regulations covering amenities, conduct, and property use. It applies to all residents, owners, renters, and guests.

• Age restriction (45+): The community is intended for people 45 years of age or older. At least one renter occupant must be 45 or older, and no children under 19 may occupy a rental home.
• Membership & activity cards: Resident Activity Cards are issued to qualified occupants (up to two per lot) and are required to use most amenities. Renters may purchase a Renter Activity Card, but without it they have no amenity privileges. Guests must be accompanied by a cardholder and may be limited to three visits per calendar year to chartered clubs.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 30 days; short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb) are prohibited. Casitas cannot be rented separately. Renters are considered residents, not guests, and must follow all rules.
• Assessments & fees: Base and Neighborhood Assessments are paid annually by the owner, due July 1 for most lots. Additional fees apply for extra activity cards, transfers, and guest passes. No specific dollar amounts are listed in this document.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking in common areas is restricted: only vehicles with handicap placards may use designated spaces; golf carts must park in designated spots; no overnight parking of unauthorized vehicles; no 'for sale' signs on vehicles. On-street parking is governed by city rules.
• Architectural review: All exterior modifications must be approved through the Residential Design Guidelines. Owners must submit applications to the Standards Department before making changes.
• Code of conduct & enforcement: Residents are responsible for their own conduct and that of their guests. The Association can impose fines, suspend privileges, or take other sanctions after notice and a hearing. A Code of Conduct Committee hears appeals.
• Amenities & facilities: Amenities include multiple golf courses (open to the public), fitness centers, pools, hot tubs, saunas, sports courts, dog park, and activity buildings. Use requires a valid Activity Card. Specific rules apply to each facility (e.g., age limits for pools/saunas, dress codes, pet policies in common areas).
