Siena Hills is a neighborhood in which homeowner-members agree to restrict certain uses of their respective properties, and to pay for maintenance and improvement of common areas. The latter includes landscaping, mowing, and snow removal of some areas.

The declarations are the organizing basic building blocks of the association. The bylaws describe how the board of directors conducts business.

Covenants are rules governing what each homeowner-member can and should do on his or her property. The goal of covenants is to maintain property values, safety, and courtesy among homeowner members. The covenants are designed to be minimally invasive. Example include whether or not large vehicles or boats may be stored on property.

A notice that Siena Hills is a covenant-protected neighborhood is provided during any real estate transactions. Covenants are usually provided to incoming homeowner-members by their respective real estate professionals at the time of a home purchase.

In addition to being posted here, these rules have been publicly recorded with the Office of the Polk County Recorder, Des Moines, Iowa.
