Like other Arizona residents living in homeowners or other associations, Sun Cities residents live under a list of rules called covenants, conditions and restrictions.
These rules govern what homeowners can and cannot do with and on their properties. The CC&Rs supplement the ordinances of the community in which the HOA is located. Since the Sun Cities are unincorporated areas of Maricopa County, the county ordinances govern those communities.
But cities, towns and counties do not enforce CC&Rs in specific HOAs as in most cases they go beyond the scope of municipalities’ ordinances. In addition, each HOA’s CC&Rs are different.
