News Updates

Appliances, hazardous waste, construction materials, and tires are not picked up as bulk trash and require special arrangements. Reference the City of Flagstaff bulk trash schedule for pickup dates.

Do not place items curbside sooner than the day before the scheduled date — items must remain out of view at all other times. Note: there is not necessarily a pickup each month, so be sure to check the schedule.

Winter Parking Ordinance: There is NO PARKING on city streets or alleyways from midnight to 7:00 a.m. The City of Flagstaff's Winter Parking Ordinance goes into effect on November 1st and remains in effect through April 1st. This restriction is enforced whether it is snowing or not. The ordinance allows Streets Section crews to thoroughly plow streets for safe travel and aids street sweepers in the removal of cinders following a snowstorm.

The Flagstaff Police Department enforces the ordinance. If you are parked in violation and it's not snowing, you will receive a ticket. If it is snowing, your vehicle is likely to be towed in addition to receiving a citation.

Clearing Sidewalks: Property owners and occupants are responsible for keeping sidewalks adjacent to their property free and clear of snow, ice, or other obstructions — in any event no later than 24 hours after accumulation. The ordinance also prohibits moving snow or ice onto city streets or alleys. Shoveling snow onto streets after plowing compounds ice buildup.

The Safe Sidewalk Ordinance includes owners/occupants being served a Notice of Violation once per season, with unsafe sidewalks being abated at their cost. Please be considerate of your neighbors — clear your sidewalk following a snowstorm or other accumulation.

Routine inspections take place between March and November, typically not in line with bulk trash collection, along with random inspections at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Below are helpful tips to avoid receiving a violation notice.

Yard Maintenance — Pine Needles: Please keep yards free of pine needles and pine cones. If you have an approved Native Landscaping plan, accumulation must be kept to a minimum. This is a fire safety matter!

Yard Maintenance — Weeds: All graveled landscaped areas must be free of vegetation, including the area between the curb and sidewalk. If you use weed spray, you must rake up the dead weeds. Any natural approved areas must be free of invasive weeds and grasses. Out-of-town owners needing vendor assistance may email pthoa@sterlingrem.com.

Parking: Vehicles must be parked in the garage or driveway — NOT on any landscaping or graveled side yards. Commercial and Recreational Vehicles and Trailers may only be parked in the street or on the lot on a Nonrecurring and Temporary Basis as outlined in CC&Rs Section 1.26: no more than 24 hours at one time, not overnight, and no more than twice in any six-month period. Recreational vehicles include boats, construction and vehicle trailers, campers, mobile and motor homes, and ATVs, UTVs, and OTVs. They may be stored on a lot within a closed garage or other approved parking area (CC&Rs Sections 8.23 and 8.24).

Storage & Trash — Miscellaneous Storage: All personal items must be kept in the garage or in a fenced back yard out of sight. Items commonly seen during inspections include yard tools, pallets, buckets, play toys, and bulk trash items — if you think it should be put away, it probably should.

Storage & Trash — Refuse Container Storage: Trash and recycle cans must be stored out of view when positioned in line with an entrance to the home. If you have a gate to the back yard, cans must be stored behind the fence.

If you have received a home/yard maintenance letter in the past and completed the work, please notify the HOA of the completion. All open violations are subject to the Enforcement Policy. To close out any past or current violations, email pthoa@sterlingrem.com. Have a special circumstance? Email pthoa@sterlingrem.com and let the HOA know the situation.
