Sunrise Meadows Estates

What Sunrise Meadows Estates's governing documents say

Sunrise Meadows Estates is a standard single-family HOA in Tolleson, AZ — you own your lot and home, and the association maintains common areas and enforces rules through covenants, conditions, and restrictions recorded in 2002. These rules run with the land and bind all owners, residents, and tenants.

• Architectural review: Any change visible from a neighboring property requires prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). This includes exterior color, structures, landscaping, fences, and even basketball hoops. ARC has 30 days to respond; if no response, approval is deemed given. ARC can charge a fee and require a bond.
• Residential use & home businesses: Lots must be used only for residential purposes. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside (no signs, customers, or noise) and consistent with residential character. Leasing a unit is not considered a business.
• Animals & pets: Only reasonable numbers of common house or yard pets are allowed, kept as domestic pets only. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off the lot and cannot enter other lots. Pet feces must be removed immediately. Structures for pets cannot be visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, RVs, boats, or trailers may be parked visibly from neighboring property except temporary loading (72 hrs max). Cars must be parked in garage or driveway; street parking limited to daytime for owners and 24 hrs for guests. Overnight street parking by owners is prohibited. Inoperable vehicles cannot be stored visibly.
• Leasing & rentals: Entire residential units may be leased; no minimum lease term stated. Leases must include a provision that tenant agrees to be bound by the HOA rules. Owners remain responsible for tenant compliance.
• Signs: No signs visible from neighboring property without ARC approval, except: signs required by legal proceedings, residence identification signs consistent with Design Guidelines, and one 'For Sale' sign per lot.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot (equal share). Late payments incur 12% interest and a late fee (up to $15 or 10% of delinquent amount). Special assessments require 2/3 vote of members. A lien can be placed on the lot for unpaid assessments.
• Minimum home size: Each residential unit must have at least 2,600 square feet of livable area, excluding porch, patio, garage, and guest house.
