Receiving an HOA violation notice can be stressful. Understanding the process and your rights is the first step.

What Arizona Law Requires (A.R.S. § 33-1803)
  • You must receive written notice of the alleged violation
  • You have the right to a hearing before fines are imposed
  • The HOA must follow its own published enforcement procedures
  • Fines must be reasonable
  • Selective enforcement is a valid defense

Common Discussion Topics
  • Violation notices that don't cite specific CC&R provisions
  • Hearings that aren't truly fair or impartial
  • Selective enforcement (your neighbor has the same issue but no violation)
  • Excessive or escalating fines
  • Violation procedures that don't match the HOA's own rules
