Caucus & COW
Overview
Precludes a condominium association and a planned community association (homeowner's
association) from prohibiting the installation or use of a lighted home address device.
History
Statute allows for the formation of a homeowner's association in accordance with its
declaration, bylaws and articles of incorporation. These governing documents outline the
responsibilities of the association as well as give the association certain authorities to enact
community rules and regulations. Statute provides additional governance and restrictions
for homeowner's associations (Title 33, Chapter 9, Title 33, Chapter 16, A.R.S.).
Provisions
1. Precludes a homeowner's association from prohibiting the installation or use of a lighted
home address device that:
a) provides a lighted display of the house number;
b) flashes red and blue when activated to indicate pending response by emergency
services;
c) is visible from the street; and
d) has a low-light adjustment. (Sec. 1, 2)
2. Stipulates a homeowner's association may adopt reasonable rules for the placement of a
lighted home address device provided such rules do not prevent the installation, defeat
the purpose or impair the functioning, restrict the use or adversely affect the cost or
efficiency of the device. (Sec. 1, 2)
3. Allows the homeowner's association to apply reasonable lighting restrictions. (Sec. 1, 2)
4. Requires the lighting device to comply with all municipal lighting ordinances. (Sec. 1, 2)
5. Instructs the court to award reasonable attorney fees and costs to any party who
substantially prevails in an action against the homeowner's association board of directors
for a violation relating to lighted home address device installation or use. (Sec. 1, 2)
Amendments
Committee on Commerce
1. Modifies the specifications of the lighted home address device to include that the device
flashes when activated to signal the location of an emergency and does not exceed 250 lux
of illumination.
