homeowners' associations; assessments; liens; payments

HB 2614 clarifies key definitions for homeowners' associations (HOAs) related to dues, liens, and payments under Arizona law. It specifically updates the definition of "common expense lien" to explicitly include late fees, reasonable collection costs, and court-awarded attorney fees when enforcing payment of assessments. This change affects all HOAs in Arizona that collect regular dues and use liens to recover unpaid amounts. The bill refines existing legal language to reduce ambiguity in how HOAs can legally pursue unpaid dues without creating new financial obligations. It directly impacts the administrative processes of HOAs and their members regarding debt collection procedures.
