HOAs; condominiums; enforcement; due process

SB 1440 proposes changes to Arizona law governing homeowners' associations (HOAs) and condominiums, directly affecting unit owners who face enforcement actions. It requires associations to provide detailed written notices of violations - including the specific rule broken, observation date, and required corrections - and gives owners 21 days to respond or appeal. The bill mandates a hearing before penalties can be applied, prohibits penalties that restrict voting or access to essential services, and requires associations to follow published enforcement policies. These changes aim to ensure fairer processes for homeowners before fines or enforcement actions are taken.
