What Litchfields Subdivision's governing documents say
Litchfields Subdivision (Surprise, AZ) is a single-family-home subdivision subject to a special covenant regarding membership in the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District. This document, recorded in 1997, does not establish a homeowners association or typical community rules; instead it imposes a mandatory groundwater replenishment assessment and lien on each parcel to help ensure the subdivision's water supply certification. The rules bind all current and future owners of lots in the subdivision.
- Replenishment Assessment: Each parcel is subject to an annual assessment levied by the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD) based on the parcel's groundwater usage above the allowed amount (Excess Groundwater). The assessment amount is set by CAWCD and is used to fund groundwater replenishment.
- Lien & Personal Obligation: The replenishment assessment, plus interest, costs, and penalties, constitutes a continuing lien on the parcel. It is also a personal obligation of the owner(s) at the time the assessment came due. CAWCD has the right to enforce the lien and collect delinquent amounts as provided by Arizona law.
- Document Type & Scope: This is an ancillary document that adds a water district membership covenant to the subdivision. It does not contain typical HOA rules (e.g., architectural review, pets, leasing limits, parking). The subdivision may be governed by separate CC&Rs or an HOA not included here.
- What this document doesn't cover: This document does not address any of the usual community living rules such as leasing restrictions, pet limits, architectural controls, parking rules, or maintenance responsibilities. For those, you would need to consult the subdivision's main CC&Rs or HOA documents.
