Arizona HOA bill

HB2185

homeowners' associations; lawns; drought

Many HOAs still require thirsty grass lawns even in drought. This bill protects a homeowner's right to install drought-tolerant/xeriscape landscaping, so an association can't force water-wasting turf during a shortage.

In short: Protects drought-tolerant/xeriscape landscaping from HOA turf mandates during drought.

Passed House only Pro-homeowner · 2026 · 57th Reg. Session
