Committee on Regulatory Affairs
Overview
Prevents Homeowner's Associations (HOA) from restricting door-to-door political activity for unit
owners in condominiums and planned communities.
History
An association of condominiums or planned communities, commonly known as HOAs, are for
profit, nonprofit or unincorporated associations of owners created under a declaration to operate
portions of common ownership and obligations. HOAs assess fees and costs to members for
payment of these obligations (A.R.S. §§ 33-1202, 33-1241, 33-1802)
An HOA may not prohibit door-to-door political activity or the circulation of political petitions on
property normally open to visitors within the association except under specific circumstances
(A.R.S. §§ 33-1261 and 32-1808).
Provisions
1. Prohibits an HOA from preventing unit owners in condominiums and planned communities
from engaging in door-to-door political activity including:

b) circulations of political petitions, nomination petitions or petitions in support of or
