Overview

Incorporates the display of division flags of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard in the list of flags that associations of condominiums and planned communities cannot prohibit.

History

Condominium unit owners' associations cannot prohibit the outdoor display of certain flags. Similarly, a nonprofit corporation or unincorporated association of owners of a planned community cannot prohibit the outdoor front yard or backyard display of certain flags. Both associations are prevented from prohibiting any of the following: 1) the American flag or an official or replica of a flag of the uniformed services of the United States by a unit owner on their property if the flag is displayed in a manner consistent with the federal flag code; 2) the POW/MIA flag; 3) the Arizona state flag; 4) an Arizona Indian nations flag; 5) the Gadsden flag; 6) a first responder flag; 7) a blue star service flag or gold star service flag; and 8) any historic version of the American flag. Further, the both associations' rules can regulate flagpole size and location but not the installation of a flagpole (A.R.S. §§ 33-1261, 33-1808).
