Arizona HOA complaint filing fee returns to $550

As of April 1, 2007, this past Monday, the Arizona filing fee for a single count HOA complaint returns to $550 again; multiple counts remains $2,000.   I just discovered this change today, without any feedback or notice from DFBLS, just a posting on its web site. 

 THIS IS A WIN FOR US!

As I wrote relating to homeowners filing numerous counts for unrelated violations, just file 1 very narrow complaint like a failure to act in good faith, or a violation of a particular statute or declaration provision.  Later, you can file a second or a third complaint on different violations — and don’t forget to ask for fees paid and penalties against intential violations by the HOA.  That could easily be $$1,100 or $1,650 in penalties agains tthe HOA.

Of course, the response to my review request is still open, but I expect the question to be moot for now.  See,

April 1, 2007 In 2006, the Arizona 47^{th Legislature passed legislation that provides the people of Arizona a venue to homeowners and condominium and planned community associations (HOA) to resolving disputes. These administrative procedures do not limit the rights of the parties to pursue matters in the legal system, but provides an alternative. This legislation became law on September 21, 2006.}
