What Surprise Farms III's governing documents say
This is the full set of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Surprise Farms III, a master-planned community in Surprise, AZ. It applies to all lots, parcels, and common areas within the development, binding owners, residents, and the association. This document establishes the association, architectural controls, use restrictions, and assessment obligations.
- Architectural review: No exterior improvements visible from neighboring property may be built, altered, or painted without prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. Applications are deemed approved if not acted on within 45 days. Fees may be charged.
- Animals & pets: Only a reasonable number of generally recognized house or yard pets kept as domestic pets, not for commercial purposes, are allowed. They must not cause unreasonable noise or nuisance. No animal structures visible from neighboring property.
