Ocotillo Villas Community Association of Sierra Vista, Inc.

What Ocotillo Villas Community Association of Sierra Vista, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is the bylaws of the Ocotillo Villas Community Association of Sierra Vista, Inc., a homeowners' association (HOA) in Sun Lakes, Arizona. These rules govern how the association is run — board elections, meetings, assessments — but do not contain the specific community rules for residents (like pets or leasing). Those are in a separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions.

• Who lives here & association type: The community is a planned development of lots, likely single-family homes or townhomes, governed by an HOA. Each lot owner is a member of the association.
• Board of Directors & elections: The board has 2 to 7 directors, all must be members. Directors serve staggered 3-year terms. Elections are by secret ballot; nominations can come from a committee or from the floor.
• Meetings & voting: Annual members' meetings are held at 11:00 a.m. on the same day each year. Special meetings can be called by the President, the board, or by members holding 1/10 of votes. Quorum is 1/10 of each class of membership, reduced to 1/20 at a second meeting. Proxies are allowed.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot must pay annual and special assessments. The President sets the annual assessment at least 30 days before the period. If not paid within 30 days after the due date, the assessment is delinquent and may incur interest, late fees, and a lien on the property. Non-use of common areas does not excuse payment.
• Rules & penalties: The board can adopt rules for the community and suspend a member's voting rights and access to common areas for up to 60 days for rule violations (after notice and hearing). Suspension can also occur for non-payment of assessments.
• Books & records: Members can inspect the association's books and records by appointment during reasonable hours. Copies of the Declaration, Articles, and Bylaws are available for purchase at reasonable cost.
• Amendments: Bylaws can be amended by a majority vote of a quorum of members or by the board. While Class B membership exists, amendments require approval from the Veterans Administration or FHA.
• What this document doesn't cover: These bylaws do not state the specific community restrictions — such as age limits, pet rules, lease terms, or architectural standards. Those are in the Declaration, which is referenced but not included here.
