There are statewide legislative actions that will impact HOAs in the Town of Queen Creek. To provide information related to the actions and answer questions, the Town of Queen Creek is hosting a meeting for HOA representatives on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Community Chambers, 20727 E. Civic Parkway.  An overview of the various legislative actions is provided below.

HB 2720 - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)

HOA / Neighborhood Restrictions Regulating ADUs

HB 2298 - Community Authority Over Public Roadways

House Bill (HB) 2298, which amends A.R.S. 33-1818, requires communities with HOAs established prior to Jan. 1, 2015 to call for an election if they desire to continue to regulate publicly owned roadways. The HOA must hold a vote by June 30, 2025, or they forfeit their right to regulation (a majority of a quorum of homeowners is required for passage). 

This statewide legislation only impacts HOAs established prior to Jan. 1, 2015. Under A.R.S. 33-1818 any HOA for which the declaration is recorded after Dec. 31, 2014 already has no authority over and shall not regulate any roadway for which the ownership has been dedicated to or is otherwise held by a governmental entity. This statute does not apply to authority over any one-way streets, without regard to ownership, or to any privately owned roadways. 

One way streets and privately owned roadways are exempt from the requirements related to the regulations. The Town retains the authority to regulate roadways within its jurisdiction.
