FAQ
The absence of an HOA board can result in significant risks, including financial mismanagement, where bills go unpaid and dues are uncollected, leading to financial instability. Residents and city officials can also bring about legal actions against the HOA, resulting in expensive court actions.
The Supreme Court held that an HOA may not rely on a general amendment power provision in its covenants, conditions, and restrictions to place restrictions on landowners' use of their land only as to those restrictions for which the HOA's original declaration has provided sufficient notice.
In Arizona, CC&Rs are usually enforced by homeowners associations (HOAs). In many cases, however, they may also be enforced by individual homeowners.
You can use the Recorded Document Search to find the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for a property or HOA. CC&Rs are typically recorded under the name of the property subdivision or the name of the HOA. When searching, please search using the "Business Name" section.
My limited understanding is, restrictive covenants are only enforceable by a home owners association created among them. A local government isn't going to swoop in and enforce, or defend, a covenant that you created on your property. The local government is only concerned with land use ordinance's and state laws.
Arizona courts have confirmed that CC&Rs are a contract between all the homeowners bound by the CC&Rs, so any other homeowner has the right to file a lawsuit to enforce that contract.
If a deed restriction is not enforceable, you can choose to ignore it and take on the risk of a neighbor filing suit, or you can seek out a judge's ruling to have the covenant removed from the deed. Obtaining that ruling is easier when no one is actively enforcing the covenant.
Some of the most common restrictive covenants include: Alterations and extensions to the building. Changes to the use of a property, for example, converting a building into flats or turning a house into business premises. Rent and lease restrictions. Limitations on pets. Limitations on home colour.
Recording Requirements Each document must have original signatures or carbon copies of original signatures, except when otherwise provided by law. Each document must be no larger than 8 1/2 inches wide by 14 inches long, and shall have a print size no smaller than ten point type.
