In Spite of Its Ban on Prohibitions on Artificial Grass, Homeowners Need to Be Wary of How HOAs Can Take Advantage of HB2131’s Nuances

On March 30, 2022, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed HB 2131 into law. Sponsored by Representative Kavanaugh of Fountain Hills, the bill essentially limits an associations’ ability to enforce provisions of its Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R) that include a prohibition on artificial grass. HB 2131 will become effective 91 days after the 2022 regular legislative session ends and will be established as A.R.S. § 33-1819.
