North Jackrabbit

What North Jackrabbit's governing documents say

North Jackrabbit is an irrigation association (a cooperative) for landowners in Queen Creek, AZ, established to qualify for agricultural water from the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal system. Membership is limited to 25 landholders whose parcels meet BOR and CAP eligibility requirements. This document governs agricultural water use and member obligations, not residential living.

• Membership eligibility & limit: Membership is capped at 25 members and restricted to landowners whose parcels meet basic BOR and CAP eligibility requirements (excluding an income test). New members may join only if a slot is open and the Board unanimously approves.
• Voting rights: Each parcel of land is entitled to one vote, regardless of size.
• Water ordering & payment: Each member must order their own CAP water at the time and place designated by the Board and pay in full when ordering. Water will not be delivered to delinquent members. Members must also be in good standing with Queen Creek Ranchos Irrigation, Inc.
• Irrigation scheduling compliance: Water delivery schedules are set by Queen Creek Ranchos Irrigation, Inc. and are not flexible. Each member must divert water from the irrigation ditch to their parcel and release it back at the precise times designated; failure infringes on other users' schedules.
• Agricultural sales contribution requirement: Members must contribute sufficient agricultural sales (recorded through the Association) to ensure the Association's total recorded sales exceed the BOR minimum gross annual sales requirement (currently $5,000). Members file a quarterly statement (or 'no sales' if none) and an annual estimated sales statement by January 31.
• Transfer & termination of membership: Membership is not transferable or assignable. Upon sale of the property, the seller must notify the Secretary; the new owner may join within 6 months before the slot opens to others. The Board may terminate membership for cause, ineligibility, or default after a hearing; terminated members have 90 days to seek reinstatement.
• Cooperative surplus & dissolution: The Association operates as a nonprofit cooperative. Excess funds at year-end beyond reserves and reasonable needs are returned to members in proportion to their business with the Association. Upon dissolution, assets (including gains) are distributed to past and present members proportionally.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is an irrigation association's bylaws for agricultural water delivery. It does not cover typical residential HOA rules such as pets, leasing, architectural review, parking, or common area maintenance. Dues and assessments are set by the Board and not specified in this document.
