Purpose

Prohibits a
condominium unit owners' association (COA) or planned community association
(HOA) from prohibiting a lighted home address device as outlined.

Background

The governing
documents for a COA or HOA consist of the declaration of covenants, conditions
and restrictions, the articles of incorporation, the bylaws and the rules and
regulations. The governing documents may regulate certain aspects of a
community relating to property use and maintenance, including restricting
parking on private streets, exterior modifications and occupancy. Statute
outlines parameters that limit COA or HOA power. A COA or HOA must not prohibit
the outdoor display of: 1) the American flag or an official or replica of a
flag of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard; 2) the
POW/MIA flag; 3) the Arizona state flag; 4) the Arizona Indian Nations flag; 5)
the Gadsden flag; 6) a first responder flag; 7) a blue star service flag or
gold star service flag; and 8) any historic version of the American flag,
including the Betsy Ross flag. A COA or HOA may regulate the display of
political signs by restricting the size and quantity of the signs, except 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. An HOA may not
restrict the installation or use of a solar energy device (
A.R.S. Title 33, Chapters 9
and 16
).

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund
associated with this legislation.
