North Copper Canyon

What North Copper Canyon's governing documents say

North Copper Canyon is a planned community in Surprise, AZ, governed by this Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements. It applies to all owners and occupants of Lots and Parcels within the Covered Property, which may include single-family residential and apartment areas. The document establishes an association (North Copper Canyon Community Association), a Design Review Committee, and rules for architecture, landscaping, common area use, and assessments.

• Architectural & landscape review: Any exterior change, construction, or landscaping must be approved by the Design Review Committee before starting. The committee enforces the Design Guidelines, which cover colors, materials, placement, signage, and more. A processing fee may apply, and decisions can be appealed to the Board (except while Declarant controls the committee).
• Party walls: Walls built on the lot line between adjacent lots become party walls. Each owner may use the wall as long as it doesn't interfere with the other owner's use. If one owner attaches to a wall built by a neighbor, they must reimburse half the reasonable cost of the shared portion.
• Common area use: Each owner has a nonexclusive easement to use the common areas, and occupants have a temporary license. The association can set special fees, limit guest numbers, and suspend use rights for delinquent assessments or rule violations (up to 60 days per infraction).
• Assessments: The association levies annual, special, and maintenance assessments on each lot or parcel. Assessments are due as set by the Board; failure to pay creates a lien and personal obligation. The Board can impose fines and penalties for late payment.
• Use restrictions: The Covered Property is subject to use restrictions (set forth in Exhibit C, not fully provided here). During the Class B Membership period, Declarant may amend these restrictions; after that, the Board can amend them subject to a 67% owner vote to nullify. The association must record any such amendment.
