In this session, there are a couple of bills currently on our radar that may directly impact Arizona HOAs.
HOA Priority Bills:
CONDOMINIUMS; INSURANCE COVERAGE; CLAIMS
Condominium associations are required to maintain property insurance on the units. Each unit owner has the right to report a loss under the association’s property insurance policy. If the cause of damage to or destruction of any portion of a condominium originates from the common elements or an event outside of the units and common elements, the insurance deductible is a common expense for the association. If the cause originates from a unit, the owner of the unit is responsible for the deductible of up to $10,000.

PLANNED COMMUNITY AUTHORITY; PUBLIC ROADWAYS
If a planned community regulates any public roadway, the planned community is required, by June 30, 2025, to hold a vote of the membership on the question of whether to continue to regulate public roadways. If a majority of a quorum of the membership of the community votes to continue regulating public roadways in the planned community, the planned community retains its authority to regulate those public roadways. If the vote fails or if the planned community does not hold a vote, the planned community no longer has authority to regulate the public roadways in the planned community and any existing regulations expire.
