Arizona HOA bill

HB2397

homeowners' associations; property covenants; disclosures

Before you buy into an HOA, you should know what its covenants (CC&Rs) will and won't let you do. This bill requires disclosure of an HOA's property covenants to prospective buyers so the restrictions aren't a surprise after closing.

In short: Requires disclosure of an HOA's property covenants (CC&Rs) to prospective buyers.

Signed into law (Ch. 249) Pro-homeowner · 2026 · 57th Reg. Session · signed Jun 22, 2026

What it does & where it stands

Makes revisions to Condominium and Planned Communities statutes relating to the sale of units or properties.

For homeowners: Pro-homeowner/buyer and now law (Ch. 249): it tightens resale disclosure with a notice-then-transmit process, added disclosures on insurance, declarant control, and ownership concentration, and a remedy against a seller or association that knowingly or recklessly provides false or misleading disclosures. The good-faith-reliance-on-records standard is a modest limit on association liability but does not outweigh the added buyer transparency and remedy.
