homeowners' associations; assessments; liens; payments

HB 2280 clarifies definitions related to homeowners' association (HOA) fees and liens in Arizona law. It defines key terms like "common expense lien" to explicitly include unpaid assessments, late fees (if authorized), collection costs, and attorney fees awarded by court. The bill does not change HOA practices but ensures clarity on which costs can be secured by a lien against a property. It directly affects HOA members who pay assessments and HOAs managing collections. This is a definitional amendment to existing statutes (sections 33-1202 and 33-1256), not a new policy.
