Bill > HB2834

This bill modifies existing Arizona law to establish a standardized filing fee for disputes brought before the Department of Real Estate concerning homeowners associations (HOAs), specifically for issues related to condominium documents or planned community documents, or violations of statutes governing these entities. Previously, the fee was set by the commissioner, but this bill mandates a $300 fee per issue claimed in a petition, which will be deposited into a dedicated fund and refunded if the case is dismissed before a hearing is scheduled at the petitioner's request or by agreement. The bill also clarifies that the Department of Real Estate's role in enforcing certain provisions of the law related to HOAs does not alter its existing powers regarding public reports for subdivisions, but it explicitly assigns the department the responsibility of administering the dispute resolution process outlined in section 32-2199.01.
