Belcara at Mccormick Ranch

What Belcara at Mccormick Ranch's governing documents say

Belcara at McCormick Ranch is a condominium community in Scottsdale, Arizona — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements, which the association maintains. This is the full declaration governing use, maintenance, and restrictions for unit owners, residents, and their guests.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit; the association maintains the common elements (buildings, parking, clubhouse, pool, landscaping, etc.) and carries master insurance. Your unit includes interior finishes, and you are responsible for maintaining your unit and any limited common elements (like your balcony, patio, or parking space) as assigned.
• Leasing & rentals: The document says leasing is allowed but does not specify a minimum or maximum lease term here; it states that lessees have the right to use common elements during their lease, and owners lose that right while the unit is rented. Any restrictions on lease duration or other rental rules would come from the Rules, not this declaration.
• Pets & animals: The declaration does not set a specific pet limit here — it only references that rules regarding animals may be adopted by the board. Check the association's Rules for any pet restrictions.
• Architectural review & alterations: You need prior written board approval for any structural additions or changes, and for any nonstructural changes visible from outside. The board may require plans, insurance, and a security deposit. You may not overload floors or electrical wiring, or enclose balconies/patios without approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit is allocated at least one parking space as a limited common element. The board may assign unallocated spaces, lease them, and adopt parking rules. Towing of improperly parked vehicles is authorized.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only; home businesses are allowed only if invisible and inaudible from outside, involve no customer visits, and do not affect residential character. Antennas and satellite dishes outdoors require board approval (except where prohibited by law).
• Assessments & fees: The association levies common expense assessments, special assessments, user fees, enforcement assessments, and individual expense assessments. A reserve contribution (equal to two months' common expense assessment) is required from new owners upon purchase. Failure to pay may result in a lien and enforcement.
• Dispute resolution: The declaration includes mandatory alternative dispute resolution procedures (mediation) before litigation for most claims, as described in Article XI. This applies to claims arising under the declaration or other project documents.
