SB 1378 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

political signs; homeowners' associations

SB 1378 (Arizona) prohibits homeowners' associations (HOAs) from banning certain displays on property, directly affecting HOAs and homeowners. It removes restrictions on displaying flags (including U.S., state, military, and service flags), for-sale/rent signs (max 18x24 inches), and political signs during specific election windows (71 days before primary to 15 days after general election). HOAs may set reasonable size limits (max 9 square feet total for political signs) and timing rules but cannot prohibit signs based on content, require commercial production, or restrict association-specific political signs during election periods. The law applies to all Arizona HOAs with condominium documents.
