Homeowners' Associations

On Thursday, February 9, the Senate Committee of the Whole debated and passed SB 1113 (homeowners' associations, public roadways). Sponsored by Senator Nancy Barto (R-Phoenix), this bill divests homeowners' associations (HOAs) of authority over roads that are dedicated to a governmental entity. The League opposes the measure because of the burdens it imposes on local law enforcement and financial resources. The bill will go on to be third read in the Senate.

Also this week, the House Government Committee heard and passed HB 2030, another HOA and public roadway measure. The sponsor, Representative John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills), amended this version to permit an HOA to regulate the parking of passenger vehicles on public roadways if that HOA allows each member household to park two or more vehicles in its driveway. Despite the amendment, the League opposes the bill for the same reasons it opposes SB 1113. HB 2030 now proceeds to the House Rules Committee.
