It is important to note that although a Scottsdale home might not be located in an HOA neighborhood, it still might be bound by CC&Rs of the previous owners (for instance, in the event of lot splitting, etc), or by zoning restrictions of Scottsdale. Living in a non-HOA subdivision does not necessarily give you carte blanche to do whatever you want with your Scottsdale property. When buying a home without a homeowners association, use your inspection period to perform due diligence on what rules may apply to your potential new Scottsdale real estate. Save yourself from headaches later.
