pet ownership limits; planned communities

SB 1729 prohibits homeowners' associations in Arizona from banning or limiting pets based on breed, size, or weight in community rules. It directly affects residents of planned communities and the associations that govern them. The bill makes any such restrictions unenforceable, even if adopted before this law took effect. Associations may still set reasonable rules about pet behavior as long as they follow existing federal, state, and local laws. This bill focuses on removing breed-specific restrictions from community documents.
