Delinquent assessments, together with interest, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Lot at the time when the assessment was levied. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments shall not pass to his successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.

Section 6.02. Purpose of Assessments. The Annual Assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the recreation, heath, safety and welfare of the Members and their guests, for the improvement and maintenance of the Common Property including, but not limited to, the operation and maintenance of the private streets and sewer system within the  Common Area, and for all purposes set forth in the Articles, Bylaws and this Declaration.

From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner, the maximum Annual Assessment may be increased effective January 1 of each year without a vote of the membership in conformance with the raise, if any, of the Consumer Price Index (for U.S. City Average—All Urban Consumer—published by the Department of Labor, Washington, D.C.) for the preceding month of July.
  2. From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the  first Lot to an Owner, the maximum Annual Assessment may be increased above that established by the Consumer Price Index formula by a vote of the Members for the next succeeding two(2)years and at the end of each such period of  two years, for each succeeding period of two years, providing that any such change shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of each class of Members who are voting in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for this purpose, written notice of which shall be sent to all Members not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty(60) days in advance of the meeting setting forth the purpose of the meeting. The limitations thereof shall not apply to any change in the maximum and basis of the assessments undertaken as an incident to a merger or consolidation in which the Association is authorized to participate under its Articles of Incorporation.
  3.  The Board of Directors may fix the Annual Assessment at an amount not in excess of the maximum.

Section 6.04. Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the Annual Assessments authorized above, the Association may levy, in any assessment year, a Special Assessment applicable to that year only for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Common Areas, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, provided that any such assessment shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of Members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose.

At the first such meeting called, the presence of Members or of proxies entitled to cast twenty-five percent (25%) of all the votes of the membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirements, and the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting.

Section 6.06. Uniform rate of Assessment. Both Annual and Special Assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots and may be collected on a monthly basis.

Section 6.07. Date of Commencement of Annual Assessments: Due Dates. The Annual Assessments provided for herein shall commence as to all Lots on the first day of the month following the conveyance of a lot to an Owner. The first Annual Assessment shall be adjusted according to the number of months remaining in the calendar year. The Board of Directors shall fix the amount of the Annual Assessment against each Lot at least thirty (30) days in advance of each annual assessment period. Written notice of the Annual Assessment shall be sent to every Owner subject thereto in the event of its increase or decrease from the last Annual Assessment. The due dates of such assessments, partial payment for which may become due on a periodic basis, shall be established by the Board of Directors. The Association shall, upon demand, and for a reasonable charge, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessment on a specified Lot has been paid. A properly executed certificate of the Association as to the status of assessments on a Lot is binding upon the Association as of the date of its issuance.

Section 6.08. Effect of Nonpayment on Assessments: remedies of the Association. Each Lot Owner shall be deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association the assessments provided for herein, and agrees to the enforcement of the assessments in the manner herein specified.

    If an assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date, the assessment is deemed delinquent and shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Late payments shall first be credited toward interest due, then toward assessments first due. In the event the Association employs an attorney for collection of any assessments, whether by suit or otherwise, or to enforce compliance with or specific performance of the terms and conditions of this Declaration, or for any other purpose in connection with the breach of this Declaration, each Owner agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs thereby incurred in addition to any other amounts due or any other relief or remedy obtained against said Owner. In the event of a default in payment of any such assessment when due, in which case the assessment shall be deemed delinquent, and in addition to any other remedies herein or my law provided, the Association may enforce each such obligation in any manner provide by law or in equity, or without any limitation of the foregoing, by either or both of the following procedures.

  1.  Enforcement by Suit. The Board may cause a suit at law to be commenced and maintained in the name of the Association against an Owner to enforce each such assessment obligation. Any judgment rendered in any such action shall include the amount of delinquency, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of the delinquency until paid, court costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees in such amount as the court may adjudge against the delinquent Owner of Member.
  2. Enforcement by Lien. There is hereby created a right of claim of lien, with power of sale, on each and every Lot to secure payment to the Association of any and all assessments levied against any and all Owners together with interest thereon at the maximum rate permitted by law per annum from the date of delinquency until paid, and costs of collection which may be paid or incurred by the Association in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. At any time after the occurrence of any default in the payment of any such assessment, the Association , or any authorized representative may, but shall not be required to, make a written demand for payment to the defaulting Owner, on behalf of the Association. Said demand shall state the date and amount of the delinquency. Each default, shall constitute a separate basis for demand or claim of lien but any number of defaults may be included within a single demand or claim of lien. If such delinquency is not paid within ten (10) days after delivery of such demand, or, even without such a written demand being made, the Association may elect to file such a claim of lien on behalf of the Association against the Lot of the defaulting Owner. Such a claim of lien shall be executed and acknowledged by an officer of the Association, and shall contain substantially the following information:

               (1) The name of the delinquent Owner;

               (2) The legal description of the Lot against which claim of lien is made;

               (3) The total amount claimed to be due and owing for the amount of delinquency, interes thereon, collection costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees (with any proper offset allowed);

               (4) That the claim of lien is made by the Association pursuant to this Declaration; and,

               (5) That a lien is claimed against said Lot in an amount equal to the amount stated.

    Upon recordation of a duly executed original of such a claim of lien, and mailing a copy thereof to said Owner, the lien claimed therein shall immediately attach and become effective in favor of the Association as a lien upon the Lot. Such a lien shall have propriety over all claims of liens created subsequent to the recordation of the claims of lien thereof, except only tax liens for real property taxes on any Lot, assessments on any Lot in favor of any municipal or other governmental assessing unit, and the lien of any first mortgage. Any such lien may be foreclosed by appropriate action in court or in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of a realty mortgage or trust deed as set forth by the laws of the State of Arizona, as they may be changed or amended. The lien provided for herein shall be if favor of the Association and shall be for the benefit of all other Owners. The Association shall have the power to bid in any foreclosure sale and to purchase, acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, and convey any Lot. In the event such foreclosure is by action in court, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, title search fees, interest and all other costs and expenses shall be allowed to the extent permitted by law. Each Owner hereby expressly waives any objection to the enforcement and foreclosure of this lien in this matter and agrees to subordinate any property exemptions provided for by statute or otherwise to those liens for any assessments provided for in this Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of Owner to pay assessments provided for herein shall not constitute a default under any federally insured mortgage.

    Section 6.09. No Exemption of Owner. No Owner is exempt from liability for payment of assessment by waiver of the use of enjoyment the Common Property, or by abandonment of his Lot except as specifically provided in Section 8.08.

    Section 6.10. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessment provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Lot, pursuant to mortgage foreclosure or any proceeding in lieu thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to the payments which become due prior to such transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.

    Section 6.11. Mortgage Protection and Additional Assessment as Common Expense. Notwithstanding and prevailing over any other provision of this Declaration, or the Association’s Articles of Bylaws, or the Rules, the following provisions shall apply to and benefit each holder of a first mortgage upon a Lot (called the first Mortgagee):

    1. At such time as the first mortgagee shall become record Owner of a Lot, said first mortgagee shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of these Restrictions, including but not limited to the obligation to pay for all assessments and charges accruing thereafter, in the same manner as any Owner.
    2. During the pendency of any proceeding to foreclose the first mortgage, including any period of redemption, the first mortgagee (or receiver appointed in such action) may, but need not, exercise any of all of the rights and privileges of the Owner of the mortgaged Lot, including but not limited to the right to vote as a Member of the Association to the exclusion of the Owner’s exercise of such rights and privileges.
    3. The first mortgagee shall not in any case or manner be personally liable for the payment of any assessment or charge, not for the observation or performance of any covenant, restriction, regulation, rule, article or bylaw, except for those matters which are enforceable by injunctive or other equitable actions, not requiring the payment of money, except as hereinafter provided.
    4. The first mortgagee, or any other party acquiring title to a mortgaged Lot through foreclosure suit or through any equivalent proceeding such as, but not limited to, the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall acquire title to the mortgaged Lot free and clear of any lien authorized by or arising out of any of the provisions of this Declaration or Bylaws which secures the payment of any assessment for charges accrued prior to the final conclusion of any  such foreclosure suit or equivalent proceeding, including the expiration date of any period of redemption except as follows:         Any such unpaid assessment against the Lot foreclosed against may be treated as an expense common to all of the Lots, which expense may be collected by a pro rata assessment against each of the Lots, including the Lot foreclosed against and which pro rata assessment may be enforced as a lien against each Lot in the  manner provided for other assessments.

    Any such unpaid assessment shall nevertheless continue to exist as the personal obligation of the defaulting Owner of the respective Lot to the Association, the Board shall use reasonable efforts to collect the same from the Owner even after he is no longer a member of the Association. There shall be a lien upon the interests of the first mortgagee or other party which acquires title to a mortgaged Lot by foreclosure suit or by equivalent procedures for all assessments authorized by these Restrictions which accrue and are assessed after the date the acquirer has acquired title to the Lot free and clear of any right of redemption.
