A significant number of homeowners belong to homeowners’ associations.  This gives rise to many questions about how Arizona HOAs can change their rules.  Homeowners should always check their community’s CC&Rs for a description of the rule-changing process specific to their HOA.
When homebuyers purchase a home in a HOA, they agree to abide by the terms

QUESTION: I installed a playset in my backyard about three years ago. My CC&Rs say that all improvements must be approved by the association before installation and that things in my backyard must be below the fence line. I installed the playset without getting it approved and it is taller than the fence. Just recently, my HOA sent me a letter telling me that I must remove the playset or it will take me to court. Our association is dotted with the same playset but they are not cited, just me. Can my HOA now, years later, demand that only I remove the playset? Isn’t that selective, unreasonable enforcement?
