Can my HOA fine me for a sign or flag in Arizona?

An HOA cannot prohibit political signs on your property from 71 days before an election through 3 days after.

An association may not prohibit the indoor or outdoor display of a political sign on a member's property beginning 71 days before and ending 3 days after an election, subject to reasonable size limits.

An HOA cannot prohibit display of the US flag, the Arizona flag, military branch flags, or the POW/MIA flag.

An association may not prohibit the outdoor display of the American flag, the Arizona state flag, an official flag of a US military branch, or the POW/MIA flag, subject to reasonable rules consistent with federal flag protocols.

An HOA must give you written notice that identifies the specific rule violated and gives you the chance to respond or request a hearing before penalizing you.

Before imposing a penalty, the association must provide written notice that states the provision of the declaration, bylaw, or rule violated, the date of the violation or the date the violation was observed, and notice of the owner's right to request a hearing on the matter.

Members are entitled to examine and copy the association's financial and other records.

The association must make its books and records available to members for examination and copying during normal business hours on request.
