SB 1039 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

homeowner's associations; meetings; recordings

SB 1039 requires Arizona homeowner associations to hold all meetings of the board and unit owners' association open to members, with limited exceptions (like legal advice, pending lawsuits, or personal health information). It explicitly allows members to audiotape or videotape open meetings without needing board permission and mandates associations to keep unedited recordings for six months, making them available to members upon request. The bill also specifies that boards must state which exception they’re using when closing a meeting and sets notice requirements for meetings, including a 48-hour advance notice for board meetings after full owner control. This directly affects all HOAs in Arizona and their members by increasing transparency and access to decision-making processes.
