If you received a written notice that your property violates the community documents, Arizona law sets two clocks. Enter the dates below to see them. This tool reports statutory deadlines only — it is not legal advice.
1. Your response deadline
You may respond by sending a written response by certified mail within 21 calendar days after the date of the notice, to the address identified in the notice.
2. The association's reply deadline
Within 10 business days after it receives your certified response, the association must give you a written explanation that includes, unless already in the notice:
- The provision of the community documents allegedly violated
- The date of the violation, or the date it was observed
- The first and last name of the person(s) who observed the violation
- The process you must follow to contest the notice
Notes.
- “Business days” here excludes Saturdays and Sundays. It does not subtract state or federal holidays, which can push the association's deadline later — treat the date shown as the earliest possible deadline.
- Keep your certified-mail receipt and the green return card; the association's clock starts when it receives your response.
- Under § 33-1803(E), if the notice did not tell you how to contest it, the association generally may not proceed with enforcement (including collecting attorney fees) during this exchange, and must tell you about your option to petition the Arizona Department of Real Estate under § 33-1803/§ 32-2199.01.
