2026 proposals to sunset HOAs invite Arizona boards and homeowners to weigh HOA value: well-kept shared spaces, consistent standards protecting home values, predictable budgeting and reserves, and lasting stewardship.
Snowbirds returning to Mesa, the Valley or Prescott? Boards: check vacant homes, restart water/irrigation gradually to avoid leaks, confirm parking and storage rules, handle mail and packages, and send arrival guidance before residents land.
Final 2027 Colorado River guidelines: AZ's cut ~760,000 acre-feet. HOAs: assess landscape water use; replace nonfunctional turf; tune controllers, check leaks; update landscape/reserve budgets. Ask your water provider & pros.
Coyotes, javelinas, and snakes are common in Arizona. Secure trash, never feed wildlife, trim landscaping, leash pets, and report injured or dangerous animals to authorities. Follow AZGFD guidance; apply HOA rules fairly.
Arizona HOA boards: Review cell-tower, rooftop-antenna, small-cell and telecom easements. Check escalators, renewals, insurance, maintenance, removal, authority and safety; flag auto-renewals. Notify residents before work.
Mid-term HOA vacancy? Check governing documents and Arizona law; confirm who fills the seat; follow required notice, application and interview steps; verify eligibility; record minutes; fill promptly; seek legal counsel.
Who fixes what? Written map shows owner/HOA roles for walls/fences, landscape, sidewalks/driveways, plumbing/roofs & common fixtures. Use governing docs + AZ law; publish to residents; onboard new owners; annual review.
More HOA data ≠ better decisions. Arizona boards need connected reporting: link financial and operational trends, flag variances, add a “so what” and action, then use one format monthly. Tri-City connects data to action.
Arizona HOA boards: Pickleball is growing, plan for noise, not just play. Site courts away from bedrooms/shared walls; consider quieter paddles or barriers; set hours and signage; communicate before projects; review rules annually.
Arizona HOA boards: Master-policy scope follows your declarations, not just state statute. Confirm bare-walls vs. broader coverage, replacement cost vs. actual cash value, and deductibles with your broker before renewal.
Can I put solar on my roof? Arizona HOA boards should use architectural review and respond consistently. Reasonable standards can address placement, screening, documentation, and color/uniformity, not unnecessary delays.
Arizona HOA boards: set a camera policy pre-install. Cover no windows/yards/interiors; resident notice; footage access/requests; retention limits/security; vendor insurance/data; and legal review of privacy and governing docs.
Post-monsoon HOA check: walk basins and swales, inspect cracked sidewalks, washed-out rock and erosion. Photograph and log findings, then add repairs to deferred maintenance before the next budget cycle.
Arizona trees support shade, beauty, and property value, but mature trees need documented care. Track a common-area tree inventory, inspection dates, recommendations, and hazards near walkways, roads, and structures. #HOA
Gate systems are only as effective as their access lists. Arizona communities should schedule periodic audits of resident credentials, vendor codes, former-owner access, delivery permissions, and emergency contacts. #HOA
Resident portals and HOA websites should be usable. Improve access with readable contrast, descriptive links, captions, mobile-friendly layouts, plain-language notices, and alternate contact paths. #HOA#Accessibility
