This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding new sections that specifically address the installation and use of lighted home address devices in condominiums and planned communities. Under the new provisions, associations would be prohibited from banning these devices, which must display the house number, flash red and blue when activated, be visible from the street, and include a low-light adjustment feature. Associations would retain the ability to establish reasonable placement rules, provided they do not hinder the device's installation or functionality, and must comply with municipal lighting ordinances.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a party successfully challenges an association's violation of these provisions in court, they are entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs. This change aims to enhance the visibility of home addresses while ensuring that homeowners have recourse if their rights are infringed upon by their associations.
