What Ashton Ranch's governing documents say
Ashton Ranch is a single-family residential subdivision in Surprise, Arizona, where you own your individual lot and house while the homeowners association owns and maintains common areas funded by per-lot assessments. The community is governed by detailed covenants covering residential use, architectural design, and common area management.
- What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and detached house; the association owns common areas (landscape and drainage tracts) and maintains them from assessments paid by all owners. You are responsible for maintaining your own lot and structures.
- Assessments & HOA fees: Annual assessments charge uniformly per lot (with reduced rates for unsold builder inventory) and create a lien on your property. Annual increases cap at the greater of 10% or CPI, up to 20% maximum without member vote; special assessments for major repairs require 2/3 member approval.
- Single-family residential use only: Property must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes—no business, commercial activities, mining, drilling, hazardous waste storage, or other non-residential uses are permitted.
- Architectural control & approval required: The Architectural Committee must approve exterior modifications including landscaping, fences, walls, antennas, windows, outdoor structures, and other design changes; written approval is required before construction or installation.
- Vehicles & parking restrictions: Commercial and recreational vehicles (commercial trucks, RVs, boats, ATVs, motorcycles, etc.) are restricted; if permitted, they must park in a screened enclosure approved by the Architectural Committee. On-lot vehicle repairs are prohibited.
- Common area access & community rules: Owners have non-exclusive access to common areas, but the association regulates use, may charge access fees, limits the number of pets and users, and can suspend usage rights for non-payment or rule violations.
- Developer retains initial control: The developer (Beazer Homes) holds 3 votes per lot (vs. 1 for owners) during initial development, controlling major decisions. This enhanced voting converts to standard ownership voting after 10 years, when owner votes exceed developer votes, or when the developer voluntarily relinquishes control.
