History
Statute defines an association as a nonprofit corporation or unincorporated association of
owners that is created to own and operate portions of a planned community as prescribed in
its own declaration. An association has the power to assess association members to pay the
costs and expenses incurred in the performance of the association's obligations under its own
declaration (A.R.S. § 33-1802).
Provisions

a) adopt and amend bylaws and rules;
b) adopt and amend budgets for revenues, expenditures and reserves;
c) collect assessments for common expenses from their members;
d) hire and discharge managing agents and other employees, agents, and independent
contractors;
e) institute, defend or intervene in litigation or administrative proceedings on behalf of
itself or two or more members on matters affecting the association, planned
community or their members' interests;
f) make contracts and incur liabilities;
g) regulate the use, maintenance, repair, replacement and modification of common
areas;
h) grant easements, leases, licenses and concessions within common areas;
i) impose and receive any payments, fees or charges for the use, rental or operation of
common areas;
j) impose reasonable charges for the preparation and recordation of amendments to the
declaration or statements of unpaid assessments;
k) provide for the indemnification of its officers and executive board of directors;
l) maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance;
m) exercise any other powers granted by community documents; and
n) exercise powers that may be exercised in Arizona by legal entities of the same type as
the association. (Sec. 1)
