Skyview Estates Owners' Association

What Skyview Estates Owners' Association's governing documents say

Skyview Estates is a standard single-family home HOA in Tumwater/Olympia, Washington. This document is the full rulebook (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) that binds every owner and occupant. It explains what you own (your lot and house), what the association maintains (common areas like parks, stormwater tracts, private alleys/roads), and what living here requires of you.

• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 30 days (no short-term rentals like Airbnb or VRBO). The owner must provide tenant names to the board, ensure tenants follow all HOA rules, and remain responsible for compliance.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: No commercial vehicles, boats, or large RVs may be parked visibly; no in-window AC units; no basketball hoops in front yards or on streets; no metal or chain‑link fences; and no activities that unreasonably interfere with neighbors' quiet enjoyment.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (fences, sheds, paint, landscaping) need approval from the Architectural Committee. Front‑yard fences are not allowed; side/back fences must be cedar, redwood, or masonry; metal and chain link are banned. Satellite dishes under 36” are allowed but must be in the rear third of the home unless signal quality requires other placement.
• Assessments & fees: Monthly assessments start at $75 for lots with residences; unfinished lots pay $10/month. Alley‑load lots pay an extra $90/month for front‑yard mowing and irrigation. A one‑time working capital fee equal to 3 months’ current assessment is due at purchase. Assessments are due quarterly. The board may levy special assessments with owner ratification.
• Vehicles & parking: No parking on community property (including private alleys or streets). Recreational vehicles and boats larger than 7 feet tall or 124” wheelbase are not allowed unless screened from view. Commercial vehicles over 3/4‑ton or with business signage are prohibited. Minor repairs must be inside an enclosed garage.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, caged indoor birds, fish, and other small household pets are allowed but not for breeding or commercial purposes. Pets must be leashed on common areas, waste must be removed, and noise that disturbs neighbors is not permitted. Kennels or outside cages are not allowed (except temporary dog kennels).
• Signs & decorations: No signs, banners, or flags visible to the public except for a single real‑estate sign per home, U.S. flags, and short‑term political signs per state law. Seasonal decorations must be removed by February 1st.
