Superior Highlands

What Superior Highlands's governing documents say

Superior Highlands is a residential HOA community in Superior, Arizona where all property owners, lessees, and residents are bound by comprehensive covenants governing land use, architecture, maintenance, and vehicles. The community imposes two key financial obligations: per-unit assessments to the HOA association and a mandatory annual groundwater replenishment assessment (a state-mandated water fee). Approval from the Architectural Control Authority is required before any exterior changes to your property.

• Architectural review & approval: Before any excavation, grading, construction, or change to your building's exterior appearance, you must submit written plans and specifications to the Architectural Control Authority for approval. The authority has 45 days to respond; if it doesn't, approval is automatically granted. The authority may deny plans if they violate rules, aren't aesthetically acceptable, or don't harmonize with the community. Review fees may apply.
• Residential use only: Units are restricted to residential use. A limited home-based business is permitted if it remains undetectable from outside, involves no client visits or door-to-door solicitation, employs only residents of the unit, and doesn't conflict with zoning or residential character. Leasing your unit is not considered a business.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and parakeets may be kept as domestic pets only—not for commercial breeding. Pets must stay confined to your lot; a dog may leave only on a leash of 6 feet or less. Pets cannot make an unreasonable amount of noise, and any structures housing animals must not be visible from neighboring properties.
• Vehicles & parking: Motor vehicles must be parked in your garage. If garage space is insufficient, you may park in the driveway only vehicles under 7 feet tall and under 18 feet long. RVs and motor homes may occupy the driveway only during loading/unloading: maximum 24 consecutive hours or 72 hours within any 7-day period. Guest vehicles are allowed 72 hours within any 7-day period. Inoperable vehicles cannot be visible from neighboring properties.
• Groundwater replenishment fee (state requirement): Your property is designated Member Land in the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District. You must pay an annual Replenishment Assessment calculated by CAWCD based on groundwater delivered to your parcel. Unpaid assessments create a lien against your property and accrue interest and penalties.
• HOA assessments & membership: All property owners are association members and pay per-unit assessments levied annually to fund common-area maintenance and operation. Specific assessment amounts are not stated in this document.
• Exterior maintenance & property restrictions: Buildings, landscaping, and structures must be maintained in good condition. Trash must be in covered containers not visible from neighboring properties. Utility lines must be underground. Plants cannot overhang sidewalks above 8 feet. No clotheslines, nuisances, odors, or loud noises are allowed. No temporary structures, mineral extraction, or further subdivision of lots are permitted without approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt; specific HOA assessment amounts, detailed Design Guidelines, complete bylaws, existing amenities, and detailed enforcement procedures are referenced but not included in this text.
