SB 1184 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

HOAs; uniformed services division flags

SB 1184 prohibits Arizona homeowners associations (HOAs) from banning the display of a "uniformed services of the United States division flag" (a military service flag) on owners' property, alongside existing protected flags like the American flag, POW/MIA flag, and Arizona state flag. The bill requires HOAs to allow these flags when displayed per federal flag code guidelines and sets reasonable size/location rules for flagpoles but cannot prohibit their installation. It directly affects all unit owners in Arizona condominiums and planned communities governed by HOA rules. The key provision expands protected flag displays to specifically include military service division flags, ensuring HOAs cannot restrict this form of expression.
