What is the cost of the annual assessment?
The 2020 annual assessment is $221.00
and payment is due January 1st. A late fee is charged if payment reaches our office after January 15th.
How many homes are in the HOA?
There are 5,073 homes within the planned community of Ahwatukee,
governed by the Ahwatukee Board of Management.
What is the difference between a subdivision and sub-association?
A subdivision is the act of dividing land into pieces that are easier to sell or otherwise develop, usually via a plat. A subdivision is also known as a "phase" or "phasing" within a master plat and may include a single phase or, in the case of a master planned community, many phases. Typically, developers open subdivisions incrementally within communities as infrastructure is built in conjunction with demand. Ahwatukee has 56 subdivisions within our master planned community. In large scale communities, subdivisions can vary and include varying architecture, price points, amenities (such as equestrian, agritopia, lakes) mountainside or view lots, etc. Unless a home is located within a rural or unincorporated area, most homes are part of a subdivision.
A sub-association indicates additional services or amenities are present that require an additional assessment. Townhomes and duplexes, custom home areas and “themed” communities require a sub-association, including separate governance and management, to maintain exterior paint, roofs, mailboxes, landscape, clubhouses, common areas, pools or playgrounds and the like. Sub-associations are typically managed by a separate management entity, but not always.
Do you have sub-associations in the HOA?
Yes, we have numerous sub-associations, but not all homes have a sub-association.
Approximately three-quarters are our 56 subdivisions have a second or third sub-association.
Some sub-associations are age restricted, others include
front landscape maintenance, exterior painting and roof repair.
To obtain specifics, please call the ABM office at 480-893-3502 with the property address.
We'll be happy to provide detailed information!
What are assessments used for?
Assessments are used to maintain the property owned by the ABM. We have approximately
100 acres of drainage channels and common area, a 10 acre RV storage park, and
a 6 acre Community Center which includes a park, swimming pool, baseball field,
6 tennis courts, 2 pickleball courts, and community garden.
Are there fees associated with the amenities?
Yes; swimmers, tennis players and pickleball players pay a small fee for daily, monthly, or annual use. Instructional classes such as child enrichment and fitness are also pay per use.
The park and community garden are free and open to the public.
How can I find the CC&Rs and Rules and Regulations for my home?
Ahwatukee has 56 different sets of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs), exclusive to each subdivision. There may also be amendments to the original document. To obtain a complete set of your subdivison's CC&Rs, please fill out this form: CC&Rs REQUEST FORM.
Does ABM have architectural guidelines?
Yes. Painting, re-roofing, fences, patio covers, hardscape landscaping, driveways, additions, and various other exterior changes are all subject to approved architectural review. An Architectural Review Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, reviews applications twice each month to keep our community as aesthetically pleasing as possible to maintain property values and maximize enjoyment of residents. The Architectural Review Committee meetings are open to homeowners.
Who operates the Ahwatukee HOA?
ABM is an Arizona nonprofit corporation. It is governed by a nine member volunteer Board of Directors who are elected by the membership. Each April, an annual membership meeting is held and three Directors are elected to a three year term. ABM is a self-managed community and employs its own management and staff for all operations. The Board of Directors directs ABM staff to implement its policies and procedures.
