Rules and CC&Rs

The Saddle View Community is governed by a set of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) designed to protect property values and maintain a cohesive, attractive neighborhood. These guidelines outline how homes and lots may be used, standards for exterior changes, and each homeowner’s responsibilities for maintenance and care. By following the CC&Rs, residents help ensure a safe, well‑maintained, and harmonious community for everyone.

CC&Rs: key points

  • What the CC&Rs Are: Legally binding community rules that apply to all homeowners, current and future.
  • Property Use: Homes are intended for residential use only; activities that create disturbances or nuisances are restricted.
  • Exterior Changes: Any visible exterior improvements, additions, or modifications typically require prior approval to maintain consistent community appearance.
  • Maintenance: Homeowners are responsible for keeping their property, structures, and landscaping in good condition.
  • HOA Role: The Homeowners Association manages community affairs, enforces the rules, and maintains shared standards.
  • Assessments: Owners are required to pay HOA dues and any approved special assessments that fund community operations.
  • Enforcement: The HOA may issue notices, fines, or take further action if the CC&Rs are not followed.
  • Longevity: The CC&Rs run with the land and may be updated according to procedures outlined in the document.
