​Annual Dues
Each lot is assessed association dues on an annual basis, paid to the Association. Dues notices will be sent to the mailing address of record for the homeowner on October 1 and are payable by the end of November.

Green Valley Recreation (GVR) also assesses an annual fee for a required membership.

Transfer Fee
When a property is sold there is a transfer fee, payable to the HOA, for changing ownership records.  If this applies to you, please contact the Treasurer for the current fee amount but generally this is an automatic process handled by the title transfer company.

​​Homeowner Responsibilities
By purchasing a home in Desert Hills V, an association governed by Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), you have agreed to follow a number of policies, rules and conditions for the use and maintenance of your property.  Below are some of the issues that occasionally cause problems. Consult the Bylaws and the full CC&Rs document (in the Documents page) for the governing text.

• Keep the HOA up-to-date on property information

The HOA needs correct information as to who owns a property, contact info, emergency contact info, non-local mailing address, etc. Use the Homeowner Information Form to submit updated information to the HOA.  Form is located on the Documents page.

• Rental Units

If you are renting your unit, you must provide the HOA with certain information.  All leases shall be for a minimum of 30 days. Refer to Article 7.9 of the CCRs for further rules and restrictions on rentals.  Print the Renter Information Form, located on the Documents page, and mail it back to us.

• Consulting the Architectural Committee

​Prior to any work being done, residents (not contractors) must submit to the Architectural Committee the details of any proposed modification to the exterior of the structure, walls, fences, mail boxes, exterior finish, any exterior painting with or without color changes, etc.  For more information on approved house colors, see House Color Information document.  Modifications include the attachment of devices and details previously not on the structure, including satellite dishes.  Changes to landscaping, lot design, plantings, decorative yard rock, etc., must also receive approval. Any addition or modification to anything on your property should be addressed to the Architectural Committee to determine if a formal review document must be submitted. See CC&Rs article 6.  The Architectural Committee is very prompt about addressing any of these issues. Contact the Architectural Committee here.

• Maintenance of patio walls and drainage easement walls

Each lot owner is responsible for the maintenance of any wall on their property and jointly and equally responsible for maintaining common patio walls and drainage easement walls. If a wall abuts a common area the owner of the lot containing the wall is responsible for the walls maintenance.

• Weed Control

Everyone needs to control plant and weed growth on their property. If you are a seasonal resident, you should have someone available to remove the plant and weed growth in your absence. For those homeowners who have a drainage easement at the back or side of your property, you and the homeowner behind you or beside you are jointly responsible for controlling plant and weed growth in the easement.  Be a good neighbor and keep your property looking good.  We are particularly concerned about removing several invasive species that are threatening native plants in SE Arizona.  See the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management invasive plants website page here.

• Parking

Homeowner vehicles are required to be in a garage or carport at all times. Occasionally, outside parking is necessary for visitors but should be limited to 72 hours or less. Recreation vehicles can only be parked in a garage or carport. RV parking in front of your property is allowed for the purpose of loading and unloading only. Full details are in the CC&Rs.

Because of Arizona Revised Statue limitations on HOA Board rules, particularly regarding consistency in applying rules to ALL homeowners, parking in driveways is not allowed. 

In an effort to limit wear and damage to the curbing between the streets and front yards of homeowner property, please avoid parking on curbs by owners, guests and contractors.

• Garage/Yard and Estate Sales

The Board must be notified in advance if you intend to hold a garage, yard or estate sale. Rules are in the Garage Sales Rules document located on the Documents page.  Contact HOA Board President to discuss parking issues. IMPORTANT: Limit parking to one side of street only so as not to block emergency vehicle access.

• Trash Collection

The HOA has negotiated a common rate for all homeowners with one hauler, which provides for once a week pick up of trash and recycling. Only this HOA hauler may be used.  Contact information for the approved hauler is on the Services page.

• Common Areas

The HOA is responsible for the maintenance of streets that are not county roads and landscape common areas. All the landscape areas are outside individual lot walls. These areas are: 1) Common area bordering Retorno de Anza; 2) Hillside along Camino del Sol;
​3) Golf cart path connecting de Anza and the Rustica cul de sac; 4) Walking path and open area off de Anza between Hacienda and Manana; 5) Area from concrete bench next to Desert Hills IV to Hacienda; 6) Common ground behind the homes on Via Del Bac and the mine property open desert; 7) Common area bordering the west side of Camino Mercado from de Anza south to Desert Hills IV.
