The Sanctuary

What The Sanctuary's governing documents say

The Sanctuary is a single-family home HOA (a subdivision) in Tanque Verde, Arizona. These Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) govern how you may use your property and what the homeowners association (SHOA) is responsible for. This is a full rulebook, not just an amendment.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. You are responsible for all exterior maintenance, repairs, painting, and upkeep of your home and improvements. The Association maintains common areas (private streets, recreation area) and some easements.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your home, but the lease must be in writing for a term of at least 30 days. A copy must be provided to the SHOA secretary, and the lease must state that the tenant's failure to follow the rules is a default.
• Pets: No more than two domestic pets (house or yard pets) per dwelling unit, unless the Board determines otherwise. Animals cannot be raised or bred for commercial purposes. On Lots 16 and 17, one horse per acre is also allowed.
• Vehicles & parking: Garage doors must be kept closed except for ingress/egress. No storage or parking of recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, or boats outside the garage for more than 72 hours. No carports permitted.
• Architectural & landscaping review: Any exterior change (new construction, additions, alterations, landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Architectural and Landscape Review Board (the Board of Directors). Plans must be submitted; if not approved or disapproved within 30 days, approval is deemed denied. The Board has broad discretion based on aesthetics and harmony.
• Home businesses & activities: Lots are for private single-family residential use only. Home offices and consultancies are permitted if they don't involve equipment or processes that offend sight, sound, or smell. Exterior storage for businesses is not allowed.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied uniformly per lot. Special assessments may be approved by members. Failure to pay results in a lien on the property. The Board may set a processing fee for architectural review requests.
• Other restrictions: No exterior antennas, signs (except for sale/lease signs approved by the Board), clotheslines, or unsightly articles visible from neighboring property or the street. Landscaping must use low-water, low-pollen plants. Construction must be completed within one year of starting; fire-damaged structures must be repaired within three months.
