SB 1337 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

homeowner's associations; violations; notice

SB 1337 requires homeowner associations (HOAs) to provide specific written notice when a unit owner violates HOA rules. The notice must include the exact rule broken, the violation date, and the full name of the person who observed the violation. Homeowners have 21 days to respond in writing, and HOAs must then explain the violation details within 10 business days. This law ensures transparency before HOAs can enforce penalties or pursue collections, giving homeowners clear information to address or contest notices.
