Bill > HB2909

This bill modifies Arizona's dispute resolution process for real estate matters, specifically concerning condominium associations and planned communities. It clarifies that owners or associations can petition the Department of Real Estate for a hearing on violations of governing documents or relevant statutes, with a filing fee capped at the cost of superior court application fees and a limit of four complaints per petition. The bill also establishes a maximum civil penalty of $500 per complaint that can be levied by an administrative law judge, and it ensures that the filing fee for a rehearing is refunded if the request is denied. Furthermore, it explicitly states that the Department of Real Estate will administer the dispute resolution process outlined in section 32-2199.01, while clarifying that this does not alter the commissioner's existing powers regarding public reports or the enforcement of other specific subdivision laws.
