Overview

Makes unit owners, members or their designated representatives eligible to provide notice for meetings in planned community and condominium associations.

History

An association of condominiums or planned communities are for-profit, nonprofit or unincorporated associations of owners created under a declaration to operate portions of common ownership and obligations. The associations can assess fees and costs to members for payment of these obligations (A.R.S. §§§ 33-1202, 33-1241, 33-1802).

Currently Statute allows members in associations for planned communities and condominiums to call meetings for the removal of a board member, other than a declarant appointee, from the board of directors. This requires a percent threshold of members that are eligible to vote to sign a petition equaling:

1)   At least 25% of votes in associations with 1,000 or fewer members; and

2)   At least 10% of votes in associations with more than 1,000 members (A.R.S. §§ 33-1243 and 33-1813).

For a special meeting in a unit owner's or planned community association to take place, either the president, a majority of the board of directors or at least 25% of the voting members in an association, unless specified otherwise in the bylaws, is required to call for a meeting (A.R.S. §§ 33-1248 and 33-1804).

Notices for meetings must be delivered by hand or by mail and must contain the date, time, place of the meeting and the purpose for which the meeting is called (A.R.S. §§ 33-1243 and 33-1813).
