Sahuarita FAQ
What happens if I make changes without ARC approval?
The HOA can issue violation notices with fines, require you to restore the original condition at your expense, and potentially place a lien on your property for unpaid fines. Always submit plans before starting work.
Can the ARC deny my solar panel application?
Not effectively. Arizona law ARS 33-1816 protects your right to install solar panels. The ARC can suggest placement modifications but cannot impose conditions that increase cost by more than $2,000 or reduce system efficiency by more than 20 percent.
