Laveen Village and Southern View Vote to Enforce On-Street Overnight Parking Rules Under New Arizona HOA Law

🗳️ Residents Vote to Enforce Overnight Street Parking Rules

Laveen Village and Southern View homeowners have officially voted to continue enforcing overnight parking restrictions on public streets—a move made possible under the recent amendments to Arizona HOA laws.

This decision ensures that on-street parking enforcement remains in place past the state-imposed June 30, 2025, deadline for HOAs established prior to 2015.

📜 Background: Arizona HOA Street Parking Law Changes

Under Arizona Revised Statute §33-1818, amended by House Bill 2298, HOAs formed before January 1, 2015, could previously regulate parking on public streets. However, starting July 1, 2025, they lose that power unless a majority vote of homeowners reaffirms it.

🔍 Summary of the Law:

• HOAs after 2014: Cannot regulate public street parking.

• HOAs before 2015: Must hold a vote before June 30, 2025 to keep enforcement authority.

• If no vote occurs: HOA automatically loses power to enforce parking on public roads.

🏘️ What This Means for Laveen Village & Southern View

✅ Enforcement Continues Post-2025

Thanks to a successful community-wide vote, the Laveen Village HOA and Southern View HOA will retain their authority to:
