The governing documents create the legal foundation and organizational framework of an HOA and consist of the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs), the articles of incorporation, the bylaws and the rules and regulations (A.R.S. § 33-1802).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state GF associated with this legislation.
