Harmony at Tempe

What Harmony at Tempe's governing documents say

Harmony at Tempe is a standard single-family home HOA in Tempe, AZ — the covenants, conditions, and restrictions apply to all owners, residents, and tenants. The HOA manages common areas and enforces rules to protect property values and community appearance.

• Architectural review: All exterior changes (construction, modification, painting, fences, landscaping, etc.) require prior written approval from the Design Review Committee. The committee can deny based on aesthetics alone, and its decisions are final. No approval is needed to repaint to the original color or rebuild per approved plans.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for an initial term of at least one month, and cannot be subleased or assigned. Owners must notify the association at least 10 days before the lease starts with lease dates, tenant names, and owner contact info. The owner remains liable for tenant rule violations.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in the garage if space allows; otherwise on the driveway. No parking on streets if garage or driveway space is available, except for short-term guest parking. No vehicles over 1 ton, 8 feet tall, or 24 feet long on streets or visible from neighboring property. Inoperable vehicles and storage (e.g., covered cars) are prohibited outside garages.
• Animals: Only dogs, cats, and household birds are allowed as domestic pets (not for commercial purposes). The board determines the 'reasonable number' per lot. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) off the owner's lot, and feces must be removed immediately. The board may remove pets that bite, attack, or create a nuisance.
• Signs: One temporary 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign up to 18×24 inches, plus a 6×24 inch rider, is allowed. One residential identification sign up to 9×30 inches is permitted. Signs required by law or approved by the Design Review Committee are also allowed. Builder sales signs are exempt.
• Home businesses: Home-based businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve no customer visits or employee non-residents, generate no excess traffic, and use no hazardous materials. Leasing a home is not considered a business.
• Window coverings & exterior lights: Permanent window coverings (white, beige, cream, natural wood, or earth tone) must be installed within 60 days of ownership. No paper, sheets, or reflective materials without approval. Exterior spotlights, floodlights, or other lights require prior approval from the Design Review Committee.
