Arizona HOA Rental Compliance: The Exact Data You May Collect—and the Amendments That May Not Hold

Arizona has the most prescriptive tenant-information statute in the country: it lists the exact fields an association may collect when a home is rented, caps the fees to the dollar, and prohibits everything else. Layer on Kalway—the Arizona Supreme Court decision that puts retrofitted rental amendments in doubt—and Arizona compliance is equal parts disciplined intake and amendment audit.

The statutes that create tracking duties

Each of these laws requires your association to be able to prove something. That's a record-keeping obligation, whether or not anyone calls it that.

A.R.S. § 33-1806.01 (planned communities) / § 33-1260.01 (condominiums)

The permitted-data list and fee caps

On rental of a home, the association may collect only: the names and contact information of adult occupants, the lease start and end dates, and a description and license plates of tenants' vehicles. It may not require the rental application, a credit report, or a copy of the lease. Fees are capped—up to $25 for a disclosure the owner requests, up to $15 for late or incomplete tenant information—and no other rental-related fees are allowed. Tenants cannot be made to waive due process, and non-occupant owners cannot be barred from the board.

What your association must track:

  • An intake process that collects exactly the permitted fields—names, contacts, lease dates, vehicles—and nothing more
  • A fee schedule that respects the $25/$15 caps, with no other rental fees anywhere in your documents
  • Lease start and end dates per rented property

Kalway v. Calabria Ranch HOA, 506 P.3d 18 (Ariz. 2022)

Rental amendments must have been foreseeable

CC&R amendments bind non-consenting owners only if the original declaration gave notice that such an amendment was foreseeable. Rental and STR restrictions added by later amendment—without a hook in the original declaration—are vulnerable to challenge.

What your association must track:

  • An audit of every leasing amendment against the original declaration's amendment authority
  • Per-owner consent records where foreseeability is doubtful
  • Documentation supporting any grandfathering positions taken

SB 1350 (2016) — A.R.S. § 9-500.39 / § 11-269.17

Cities can't ban STRs—so associations are the gatekeeper

Arizona preempts cities and counties from banning short-term rentals by duration, leaving private CC&Rs untouched. In practice, associations are the main remaining STR gatekeeper in Arizona—but only through express covenant language, consistently enforced.

What your association must track:

  • Express STR covenant language and its adoption record (Kalway applies here too)
  • Consistent, dated enforcement files for STR violations

The test: could your board produce this tomorrow?

If a dispute, an audit, or a new manager asked for the following, a compliant Arizona association should be able to hand it over without a scramble:

Proof your tenant intake collects only the statutorily permitted fields
A rental-fee schedule that survives the $25/$15 caps
The amendment-authority analysis behind every leasing restriction you enforce
Lease dates and occupant records for every rental, current

Watch this space

The 2026 session closed with several HOA bills signed into law, effective September 12, 2026: SB 1246 aligns condominium foreclosure thresholds with 2025's planned-community change (18 months or $10,000 in delinquent assessments, whichever comes first), and HB 4011 codifies a duty for associations to act reasonably when exercising discretionary powers. Neither changes the §33-1806.01/§33-1260.01 tenant-data rules directly, but both affect enforcement posture. HB 2429, which would have let cities carve out narrow exceptions to STR preemption (occupancy limits, permit caps), passed the House but stalled without a Senate hearing and did not pass this session—Arizona's SB 1350 preemption is unchanged, and associations remain the primary STR gatekeeper through CC&Rs.

Arizona HOA rental restrictions: common questions

Short answers drawn from the statutes above. General information, not legal advice.

Can an HOA restrict rentals in Arizona?
Arizona doesn't cap rentals by statute, and SB 1350 bars cities and counties from banning short-term rentals by duration—so associations are the main STR gatekeeper, but only through express covenant language. Under Kalway v. Calabria Ranch (2022), a rental or STR restriction added by later amendment binds non-consenting owners only if the original declaration gave notice that such an amendment was foreseeable.
What information can an Arizona HOA collect when a home is rented?
Under A.R.S. § 33-1806.01 (planned communities) and § 33-1260.01 (condominiums): the names and contact information of adult occupants, the lease start and end dates, and a description and license plates of tenants' vehicles. The association may not require the rental application, a credit report, or a copy of the lease.
How much can an Arizona HOA charge in rental fees?
Up to $25 for a disclosure the owner requests and up to $15 for late or incomplete tenant information. No other rental-related fees are allowed, and tenants cannot be made to waive due process.
