Arizona shields flag display from HOA rules; this bill protects a homeowner's right to install a flagpole, so an association can't use its architectural rules to block one outright.
In short: Protects a homeowner's right to install a flagpole despite HOA restrictions.
Signed into law (Ch. 155) Pro-homeowner
Bars planned-community and condo associations from prohibiting a member's front- or back-yard flagpole, and protects the display of a broad list of flags (U.S., military service branches, POW/MIA, Arizona, tribal nations, first-responder, gold/blue star, Gadsden and historic flags), subject only to reasonable height and quantity limits.
For homeowners: A net expansion of display rights: it bars associations from prohibiting front- or back-yard flagpoles and widens the list of flags an owner may fly (U.S., every military service branch, POW/MIA, Arizona, tribal nations, first-responder, gold- and blue-star and more), subject only to reasonable limits on height and number. More owner rights, few strings — pro-homeowner. Enacted as Chapter 155.
Session law: Chapter 155 (Laws 2024)
