HB 4017 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

pet ownership limits; planned communities.

HB 4017 prohibits homeowners' associations in Arizona from banning or limiting pets based on breed, size, or weight in planned communities. It makes any existing rules restricting pets by these characteristics unenforceable, regardless of when they were adopted. Associations may still create reasonable rules about pet behavior that comply with federal, state, and local laws. The bill directly affects households living in planned communities governed by homeowner associations.
