Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to SB 1582

Overview

Includes restrictions for a planned community association in regulating pets and fowl.

History

A condominium or planned community association (HOA) is formed and organized under governing documents which include a declaration, bylaws and articles of incorporation, if any. An HOA is responsible for managing, maintaining and improving community property. Members of the association elect a board of directors who are given general management powers to act on behalf of the association. Statute dictates a condominium and a planned community association be organized as either a profit, nonprofit corporation or as an unincorporated association (Title 33, Chapters 9 & 16, A.R.S.).
