Hiding the flamingos from the HOA
Self-managed HOAs in Arizona operate under the Arizona Planned Communities Act (A.R.S. Title 33, Chapter 9). Use the free board checklist below, then open your city guide for late-fee limits, county recorder offices, xeriscaping rules, and monsoon readiness workflows.
Arizona planned-community HOAs operate under A.R.S. Title 33, Chapter 9 (the Arizona Planned Community Act). The statute covers assessments, late fees, meetings, architectural review, owner records access, and resale disclosures — your recorded CC&Rs may add stricter rules.
KindHOA helps volunteer boards document decisions, automate assessments, and stay audit-ready — without enterprise software built for property managers.
Arizona planned communities must follow A.R.S. Title 33, Chapter 9 (the Arizona Planned Community Act) with strong notice, assessment, and architectural review requirements. Use this free checklist before enforcing covenants, publishing HOA rules and regulations, or recording liens.
AZ checklist — confirm current statutes and CC&Rs with association counsel before assessments, fines, or liens.
Most Arizona HOAs are planned communities under A.R.S. Title 33, Chapter 9. Homeowners search for “Arizona HOA rules and regulations,” “Planned Community Act,” and “Arizona HOA statutes” when they need to separate state law from city ordinances and recorded CC&Rs.
Boards should publish a searchable rules directory(CC&Rs, bylaws, resolutions, and ACC guidelines) so owners can find enforcement standards without emailing the board for every question.
KindHOA helps volunteer directors store governing documents, run architectural review, automate dues, and track compliance tasks — confirm lien and amendment requirements with Arizona counsel.
The Arizona Planned Community Act is A.R.S. Title 33, Chapter 9. It governs most planned-community HOAs in Arizona — assessments, late fees, meetings, architectural review, records access, and resale disclosures. Your recorded CC&Rs and bylaws may add stricter rules but cannot contradict mandatory state protections. Educational guidance only; confirm with association counsel.
Arizona HOA rules and regulations usually come from three layers: (1) the Planned Community Act (state baseline), (2) city or county ordinances (zoning, STR licensing, noise), and (3) your association's recorded CC&Rs, bylaws, and published rules. Boards enforce layer 3 on private lots; cities enforce layer 2 on public code. KindHOA publishes city guides at kindhoa.com/compliance/arizona.
Start with the Arizona Legislature's online statutes for Title 33, Chapter 9, and KindHOA's free Arizona compliance checklist at kindhoa.com/compliance/arizona. For lien, amendment, and enforcement questions, consult Arizona association counsel — this directory is educational, not legal advice.
State Planned Community Act requirements apply statewide, but city zoning, short-term rental rules, water conservation ordinances, and county recorder offices differ. Maricopa County HOAs (Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale) follow different municipal codes than Pima County (Tucson) or Yavapai County (Prescott). Use the city guide for your community.
Many Arizona communities reference statutory late-fee frameworks (commonly discussed as $15 or 10% caps — always reconcile your exact declaration language and current statute with counsel). Send itemized delinquency notices, document owner communications, and confirm county recorder formatting before liens.
