Arizona homeowners often feel frustrated when it seems like their homeowners’ association (“HOA”) has decided to start randomly or inconsistently enforcing certain rules, especially after years of non-enforcement.
It can appear to the homeowner that they are being singled out for a rule that many of their neighbors are also breaking, but without any similar consequences.
This type of enforcement can include things like external paint colors or textures, fence styles, garage doors, and landscaping choices, among other things. Being forced to make changes at the whim of the HOA can be costly and unwanted.
Under a combination of statutory provisions and court decisions, Arizona HOAs have a duty to enforce their rules in an unbiased, reasonable, and just manner towards all residents.
If you find yourself being penalized for rules that have long gone unenforced, or if your alleged violations are prevalent in your neighborhood, it may well be worthwhile to have an attorney review the situation to determine your rights.
