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!
