Bill > HB2723

This bill amends Arizona law regarding municipal planning and homeowners associations (HOAs). The bill clarifies that municipalities cannot require developers to establish an association when creating a subdivision or development, and developers cannot be penalized for not creating a planned community. However, municipalities may require developers to establish an association specifically for maintaining private or community-owned improvements that are part of a preliminary plat, final plat, or specific plan. The bill introduces a new provision stating that if a municipality requires an association to be formed, the municipality cannot mandate that the association create rules or regulations more restrictive than existing municipal rules, and this provision applies only to associations established after the bill's effective date. The legislation aims to provide more flexibility for developers and limit municipal oversight of HOAs, ensuring that associations are primarily focused on maintaining common areas and community property without excessive regulatory burdens.
