Arizona HOAs enforce CC&Rs, design rules, and bylaws, but A.R.S. § 33-1803 channels enforcement through a detailed violation-notice process. A member who gets a violation notice may demand, within 21 days, the specific provision violated, the date, who observed it, and how to contest — and the HOA cannot collect attorney fees until it provides this.
A.R.S. § 33-1803 governs how an Arizona planned-community association enforces its declaration, bylaws, and rules, including architectural and covenant violations. When the association notifies an owner of a violation, the owner may submit a written response within 21 days by certified mail, and the association then has 10 business days to provide 'the specific provision of the community documents that was allegedly violated,' the date of the violation or notice, the persons who observed it, and the process to contest the notice. The association 'shall not proceed with any action to enforce the community documents or to collect attorney fees' until it furnishes that information unless it was in the original notice. Disputed violations may be appealed to the Arizona Department of Real Estate administrative hearing process.
No specific statutory penalty on the owner beyond any reasonable fine under § 33-1803. The association, however, loses the right to enforce or to collect attorney fees until it supplies the required violation details, and an owner may contest the violation through a state administrative hearing.
