Sponsor: Representative Carter, LD 15

Committee on Regulatory Affairs

Overview

Prevents Homeowner's Associations (HOA) from restricting door-to-door political activity for unit owners in condominiums and planned communities.  

History

An association of condominiums or planned communities, commonly known as HOAs, are for profit, nonprofit or unincorporated associations of owners created under a declaration to operate portions of common ownership and obligations. HOAs assess fees and costs to members for payment of these obligations (A.R.S. §§ 33-1202, 33-1241, 33-1802)

An HOA may not prohibit door-to-door political activity or the circulation of political petitions on property normally open to visitors within the association except under specific circumstances (A.R.S. §§ 33-1261 and 32-1808).
