What are CC&R’s for a home owner’s association
Chances are if you are a homeowner in the Phoenix area, you’ll become familiar with HOA’s because the majority of homes are part of a HOA. The rules that home owners agree to abide by are called Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s). These restrictions regulate various aspects of home ownership, such as leasing or renting, vehicle parking, architectural guidelines, animal and pets, and so on. Becoming familiar with the CC&R’s before you purchase a homes is a wise decision. Also find out if the HOA is attempting to exercise more control than it should.

Some of the more relevant areas a buyer should review in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions include renting and leasing, vehicles and parking, architectural guidelines, residential use, and animal & pet restrictions. A less covered topic is the accuracy of CC&R’s when compared to the Arizona Revised Statutes. An important section of the statutes is found in ARS Title 33 Chapter 16 – Planned Communities. This welcomed section affirms the rights of homeowners who live in a HOA. For example, it sets legal boundaries for aspects such as signs, renting and leasing, displaying flags, parking and vehicles, and solar energy devices. Well worth the reading.
