Plain English Breakdown

The bill amends existing statutes for both condominiums and planned communities, but the summary must reflect that these are two separate legal sections (33-1258 and 33-1805) with nearly identical rules.

HB2612: Rules for Homeowners' Association Record Requests

This bill sets rules on how members of condominium and planned community associations in Arizona can view and copy financial records, including time limits and fees.

What This Bill Does

  • Requires associations to make all financial and other records available for examination by any member or their written representative within ten business days.
  • Prohibits charging a fee just to review records but allows associations to charge up to fifteen cents per page for copies.
  • Lists specific types of documents that may be withheld, such as attorney communications, pending lawsuits, closed board meeting minutes, and private personal data about members or employees.
  • States that associations do not need to provide the same record if it was already requested within the last two years and has not changed.

Who It Names or Affects

  • Homeowners' associations for condominiums in Arizona
  • Homeowners' associations for planned communities in Arizona
  • Individual members of these associations who request records

Terms To Know

Association
The group that manages a condominium or planned community.
Member
A person who owns property within the association's area and has rights to request records.
Representative
A person chosen in writing by a member to view or copy records on their behalf.

Limits and Unknowns
