Bill > HB2185

This bill, concerning homeowners' associations and lawn maintenance during droughts, amends existing Arizona law to prevent these associations from mandating that homeowners overseed or water their lawns when a drought declaration or drought emergency declaration is in effect, as issued by the governor under section 26-309. This means that during declared drought periods, homeowners' associations, which are organizations that manage and maintain common areas in planned communities or condominiums, cannot enforce rules requiring lawns to be overseeded or watered. The bill also makes a technical change to how associations must respond to homeowner violations, allowing them discretion rather than requiring them to proceed with enforcement actions before or during the information exchange period with the homeowner.
