What Silverthorn Estates's governing documents say
Silverthorn Estates is a standard single-family home HOA in Tolleson, AZ. This Declaration establishes the association, architectural controls, use restrictions, and assessment obligations that apply to all lot owners, residents, and tenants.
- Architectural review: All exterior improvements (including landscaping, paint colors, fences, solar panels, basketball goals) require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Applications are deemed disapproved if not acted on within 45 days.
- Pets: Only a 'reasonable number' of customary domestic house pets are allowed. Pets must be leashed when off the owner's property, and waste must be promptly removed. Animals that create a nuisance may be prohibited.
- Parking & vehicles: No inoperable vehicles visible from neighboring property or common areas. Recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers may only be stored in enclosed backyards (one each), not on corner lots if visible. Motorcycles and ATVs may only be parked in garages. Street parking for guests is limited to 24 hours.
- Home businesses: Businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside the home, occupy no more than 20% of floor area, employ no more than one non-resident, and do not increase traffic or parking. Leasing a unit is not considered a business.
- Assessments & fees: Each lot must pay annual assessments and special assessments as set by the Association. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property. A transfer fee may be charged upon sale.
- Signs: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited. Exceptions include required legal signs, approved residence identification signs, temporary 'for sale' signs (max 120 days per year), and open house signs between 10 AM and 6 PM.
- Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted. Tenants (Lessees) have the right to use common areas. Owners remain responsible for compliance with the Declaration. No specific minimum lease term is stated in the excerpt.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt from the Declaration does not specify the maximum annual assessment amount, exact pet limits, or details about insurance requirements. It also does not include age restrictions or affordability provisions.
