Saddle Vista

What Saddle Vista's governing documents say

Saddle Vista is a single-family home subdivision in Tonopah, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that run with the land. There is no mandatory homeowners association; instead, these rules are enforced privately by property owners. The covenants cover permitted uses, animals, leasing, maintenance, and nuisance prevention for all parcels.

• Permitted uses: Parcels may be used only for residential, recreational, or agricultural purposes. Raising livestock is prohibited; only growing crops is allowed as agricultural use. No business or retail activity is permitted on any parcel, though leasing the entire parcel and improvements is allowed.
• Animals: A reasonable number of animals may be kept per parcel, subject to zoning. Animals must not create unreasonable noise or become a nuisance, and must not roam onto other owners' property. An animal may only be kept after a single-family home or appropriate fencing is complete and the owner is present.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted only for an entire parcel (including all improvements). Leases for less than five years are not considered transfers of interest in the project. Tenants must agree to abide by the Declaration.
• Temporary occupancy & structures: No trailer, tent, garage, barn, or other temporary building may be used as a residence. Temporary structures for construction must be removed immediately after completion. No parcel may be used residentially without indoor water-flushed toilets and bathrooms.
• Nuisance & maintenance: No nuisance, noxious activity, or unlawful use is permitted. Owners must keep their parcels free of weeds, debris, and unsightly conditions, and maintain all improvements in good repair. Garbage must be in covered containers, and no odors may disturb neighbors.
• Easements & mineral rights: Public easements for access, drainage, and utilities exist as shown on the recorded survey. Owners burdened by these easements must keep them clean and safe and may not block them. Mineral exploration and water/oil removal are prohibited except for domestic/irrigation wells.
• Amendment & term: The covenants run for 20 years from recording (1997) and automatically renew for successive 10-year periods. They may be amended by a written instrument signed by owners of more than 50% of the parcels, with Declarant's consent while it owns any parcels.
