Covenants
Concho Valley covenants
The land we sell in Concho Valley carries private neighborhood covenants, recorded with Apache County decades ago and still in effect. Here is what they say, in plain terms.
What these cover
This page covers Concho Valley Units 6 and 8. The two sets of covenants are closely similar. Unit 8 was recorded on February 24, 1972 as document 1972-066386. Unit 6 was recorded on February 16, 1971 as document 1971-061602. Both were recorded by Transamerica Title Insurance Company of Arizona, as Trustee.
The basics
- Single family homes only, newly built, at least 800 square feet of ground floor living area.
- New manufactured homes are allowed. A used or moved in home from another location is not.
- No shed, tent, garage, or other temporary structure may be used as a residence.
- There is no homeowners association, no dues, and no architectural committee.
The covenants don't restrict short recreational visits. For anything beyond the basics above, read the recorded documents below or ask us for the property report on the parcel you're looking at.
Who enforces them
Apache County does not enforce private covenants. In the county's own words, these are private agreements that are not enforceable by the county. Enforcement rests with the property owners. Any owner of land in the same unit may ask a court to enforce the covenants. No association is involved.
The covenants remain on file and in effect. Unit 8's current term runs through January 1, 2032, and Unit 6's through January 1, 2031, and both renew automatically. Changing them takes a written vote of at least two-thirds of the owners.
