Cooper Commons Community Homeowners Association

What Cooper Commons Community Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Cooper Commons is a standard homeowners association (HOA) in Sun Lakes, AZ — you own your lot and home, and the association manages common areas and enforces rules. The documents here are a partial set: they cover architectural review procedures, violation fines, pool rules, and assessment collection, but do not include the full declaration of covenants (CC&Rs), which would contain complete restrictions on leases, pets, parking, and more.

• Architectural review: Any exterior change to your home (painting, landscaping, fences, pools, etc.) must get prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Submit an application with details; the committee has up to 45 days to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove. Applications must include dimensions, colors, drawings, and contractor info.
• Violation fines & enforcement: For non-monetary CC&R violations, the HOA uses a progressive fine schedule: first notice gives 14 days to cure; if not cured, a $50 penalty is assessed. Subsequent notices add $100 penalties per 14-day period. After 180 days with no repeat violations, the process resets to a first notice. Health/safety violations (e.g., trash, fire risk) may skip notice and get immediate action. Owners can request a hearing before fines are imposed.
• Pool rules: Pool open April 1–Oct 31 (summer hours 8am–9pm; gates lock at 8:30pm). Closed in winter. Children under 16 must be supervised by an adult. No alcohol, smoking, glass, diving, or loud music. Guests must be accompanied by owner. Parties require written board approval and proof of liability insurance. Violations may result in key revocation or arrest.
• Assessment collection: If an assessment is not paid within 30 days of due date, a $10 late fee may apply. The HOA sends a reminder letter at 30 days, a demand letter at 60 days (with 15 days to pay or enter a payment plan), and may record a lien at 90 days. At 120 days, the HOA may take the owner to small claims court or refer to an attorney for foreclosure. All collection costs are the owner's responsibility.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are partial documents (application forms, rules, bylaws, etc.). The full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) is not included — that document would specify rules on leasing, pets, parking, age restrictions, and other key restrictions that apply to homeowners.
