La Colina HOA FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

What is the gate code for Sonora Vista?

The gate code is 6539.

When and why do I need to file an architectural request form?

An architectural request form needs to be filed when any change is being made to the outside of your home.

The HOA has rules that cover the blocking of neighbor’s views by structures, but the most restrictive rules come from the City of Scottsdale. City ordinances cover paint color, reflective characteristics, plants and more. The HOA is obligated by law to enforce these rules. If a homeowner is in violation, the city can penalize not only the homeowner, but also the HOA for not enforcing the ordinances. The project may need to be altered or demolished completely, so obtaining approval prior to start is the most prudent way to proceed.

Where do I get the form and what do I do with it when I have filled it out?

You can download a form from this site under “Community Manager”. You can mail or fax the form to the manager using the information shown.

What do I get for my HOA dues?
