Surprise Farms II

What Surprise Farms II's governing documents say

This is the master declaration for Surprise Farms II, a large master-planned community in Surprise, AZ. It creates a community-wide association that governs all lots, parcels, and common areas. Homeowners, tenants, and residents are bound by the rules and must pay assessments to support the association and common areas.

• Architectural review: Any improvement visible from neighboring property (e.g., exterior changes, new structures, fences, landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. Plans must be submitted with supporting information; if not decided within 45 days of complete submission, approval is deemed granted. Construction must be completed within 60 days of approval.
• Pets & animals: Only generally recognized house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets (not commercial). No birds, fowl, livestock, or excessive noise. Structures for pets must not be visible from neighboring property. The board decides what constitutes a reasonable number or a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be parked visibly from neighboring property, common areas, or streets, except for standard passenger vehicles under 7 ft tall and 18 ft long used for basic transportation. Inoperable vehicles and repairs are prohibited. On-street parking may be further restricted by board rules. Vehicles in violation may be towed at owner's expense.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their entire dwelling unit to a single family lessee. No short-term rental restrictions are specified in this excerpt. Tenants must comply with all declarations and rules.
• Home‑based business: Business activities are allowed inside a dwelling unit only if not detectable by sight, sound, or smell from outside, conform to zoning, do not involve clients coming to the lot or door‑to‑door solicitation, and are consistent with the residential character. Leasing the whole unit is not considered a business.
• Assessments & liens: Annual and special assessments are levied per membership (tied to lots/parcels). Assessments, plus interest and costs, are a lien on the property and a personal obligation of the owner at the time due. Voting rights may be suspended for non‑payment after 60 days.
• Nuisances & maintenance: No rubbish, debris, odors, or nuisances. Each owner must maintain lawns, shrubs, and plantings on their lot and certain abutting public areas (unless the association or city assumes responsibility). Buildings must be kept in good repair. Antennas and satellite dishes require approval unless federal law prohibits it; placement and appearance may be regulated.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt of a master declaration. Specific annual assessment amounts, fee schedules, amenity details, age restrictions, and complete rules for sub‑associations or individual neighborhoods are not included here. Pet limits (e.g., maximum number) and exact lease terms are also not specified in the provided text.
