Transparency Isn’t Optional: Your Rights at HOA Meetings

Arizona law is clear: homeowners’ association meetings must be open and transparent for the board or the whole membership. Both the Arizona Condominium Act (ACA) and the Planned Community Act (PCA) require that:

• Meetings must be conducted openly.

• Agendas and notices must include enough detail to inform homeowners what will be discussed or voted on.

• Homeowners must be allowed to speak on agenda items before any vote is taken.

This isn’t just best practice—it’s state policy. Board members and community managers are required to favor openness when interpreting the law.

If your HOA conducts business behind closed doors, fails to provide proper notice, or limits your right to participate, it may be violating the law.
