Casitas Tempe

What Casitas Tempe's governing documents say

Casitas Tempe is a multifamily planned residential community in Tempe, Arizona, with four-unit buildings on individual lots and shared common areas managed by the association. Unit owners own their individual living spaces and parking, while the association maintains the building exterior, roofs, grounds, and utilities serving all units, funded by mandatory per-unit assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your living unit's interior, enclosed patio (if any), and appurtenant parking parcel. You maintain interior surfaces, fixtures, equipment, and HVAC systems. The association maintains the building exterior, roofs, common grounds, utilities, and exterior surfaces, including costs added to your assessment.
• Assessments & fees: Initial maximum annual assessment: $300 per living unit. Can increase up to 5% annually without a vote; increases above 5% require a 2/3 member vote. Non-payment incurs 6% annual interest, and the association may foreclose on the property.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their units, but rentals must be for at least 30 days. Transient or hotel rentals (defined as less than 30 days OR with hotel services like maid service) are prohibited without prior written association approval.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and birds are permitted if the association determines they are not a nuisance or threat. All pets must be leashed or caged when outside the living unit or enclosed patio.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alterations, fences, walls, or new structures require written board approval before construction. The board has 30 days to approve or disapprove; if no response within 30 days, the proposal is automatically deemed approved.
• Parking & vehicle storage: Vehicles must be parked only in assigned carports or parking spaces. On-street parking is restricted to deliveries, pickups, and short-term guests. No exterior storage of boats, trailers, RVs, or non-operational vehicles is allowed without written association approval.
• Use restrictions: All properties are restricted to residential use only. Prohibited without approval: antennas, exterior signs, gardening/landscaping outside enclosed patios, and exterior garbage storage. Properties must be maintained to avoid unsightly appearance or nuisance to neighbors.
• Insurance & casualty: The association maintains hazard insurance at no less than 80% of replacement value, with premiums added to unit assessments. Insurance proceeds for losses under $10,000 are paid to the association; losses exceeding $10,000 are held in trust for owners and mortgagees.
