Joshua Square

What Joshua Square's governing documents say

Joshua Square is a condominium community in Tempe, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the common elements with the other 24 unit owners. The association maintains common areas, enforces rules, and collects assessments. This declaration establishes the rights and restrictions for all owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own a cubic-space unit with an undivided 1/24th interest in the common elements (land, recreational facilities, streets, etc.). Each unit is assessed 1/24th of common expenses. You maintain interior utilities; the association maintains exteriors, roofs, and common areas.
• Assessments & fees: Each unit pays a pro-rata share (1/24th) of common expenses for maintenance, reserves, and insurance. Assessments are set annually. If unpaid more than 20 days after the 1st of the month, a lien attaches and the association can foreclose.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners must give the association a 15-day right of first refusal before selling or leasing (leases under 1 year are exempt from this right). No lease term less than 6 months is mentioned for general leasing, but the right of first refusal exempts leases under 1 year.
• Pets: No animals, livestock, or poultry for commercial purposes. Household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) may be kept provided they are not bred or maintained for commercial purposes.
• Architectural review: No exterior additions, alterations, fences, or changes without written approval from the Board of Directors (acting as architectural committee) as to conformity and harmony of design.
• Signs & antennas: No advertising signs except one 'For Rent' or 'For Sale' sign up to 5 square feet. No exterior TV or radio antennas except a master system.
• Party walls: Walls between units are party walls. Each adjoining owner bears costs for damage caused by their act; shared costs for other causes. Disputes go to arbitration.
• Term of restrictions: The covenants run for 35 years from 1973 and automatically renew for successive 10-year terms unless revoked or amended by owners of at least 3/4 of the units.
