FACT SHEET FOR S.B. 1378 
political signs; homeowners' associations 
Purpose 
Adds a sign or flag to the definition of a political sign for a condominium unit owners' 
association (COA) or planned community association (HOA). 
Background 
A COA or HOA may not prohibit the indoor or outdoor display of a political sign by a 
resident on the resident's private property. A COA or HOA may not restrict the display of a political 
sign between 71 days before a primary election and 15 days after a general election. 15 days after 
a primary election, a COA or HOA may prohibit the display of a political sign for a primary 
candidate who did not advance to the general election. If the city, town or county in which the 
property is located does not regulate the size and number of political signs, a COA or HOA may 
not limit the number of political signs, except that the aggregate total dimensions of all political 
signs on a member's property must not exceed nine square feet. A political sign is a sign that 
attempts to influence the outcome of an election, including supporting or opposing the recall of a 
public officer or supporting the circulation of a petition for a ballot measure, question or 
proposition or the recall of a public officer (A.R.S. ยงยง 33-1261 and 33-1808). 
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.

Amendments Adopted by House
