FAQ

The Homeowners Association Dispute Process is administered by the Arizona Department of Real Estate, which has the statutory jurisdiction to hear issues between residents and homeowner or inium associations.

Here are some of the documents you can ask for as a homeowner: CC&Rs: The covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) outline the rules and regulations of the community. Bylaws: The bylaws establish operational procedures for the HOA, like voting rights, elections, meetings, powers of the board, and more.

Many aspects of HOAs are directly governed by Arizona statutes, such as the Planned Communities statutes, the Arizona inium Act and the Nonprofit Corporations Act.

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES Arizona Department of Real Estate - The Department is responsible for real estate professionals' licensure, education, and discipline, including community managers and property management companies. The Department also administers the Homeowners Association Dispute Process.

A quorum of the board should not be using email to discuss or make decisions on association business, and the use of unanimous consent in lieu of board meeting is potentially subject to legal challenge.

Essentially, HOAs are not subject to open meeting law because they are private entities that do not fit the definition of “public body” in A.R.S. § 38-431. That being said, HOAs are still subject to some meeting requirements laid out in A.R.S. § 33-1804.

How to Seek Legal Action Consultation with an Attorney: Start by scheduling a consultation with an experienced Arizona HOA lawyer. Letter of Demand: In many cases, a letter of demand from your attorney to the HOA may lead to a resolution without going to court.

The ARS grants the board specific powers such as the ability to foreclose on a house for unpaid liens and establish rules concerning the exterior appearance of homes and other community-related restrictions. HOAs in Arizona are also bound by rules set forth in their own governing documents.

Lien Process Limitations: In Arizona, an HOA cannot foreclose on a home solely for unpaid fines (Arizona Revised Statutes 33-1807). While unpaid fines can lead to legal action or liens on the property, foreclosure is only permitted for unpaid assessments (like maintenance fees or dues), not fines alone.
