Street Parking Rules

Hi Alberto,

The Arizona Planned Communities Act Section 33-1809 states that associations may not prohibit homeowners from parking on a street or driveway if the vehicle needs to be available at designated times at the homeowner’s residence as a condition of their employment, and either of the following applies:

• “The resident is employed by a public service corporation that is regulated by the corporation commission, an entity regulated by the federal energy regulatory commission or a municipal utility and the public service corporation or municipal utility is required to prepare for emergency deployments of personnel and equipment for repair or maintenance of natural gas, electrical, telecommunications or water infrastructure, the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating of twenty thousand pounds or less and is owned or operated by the public service corporation or municipal utility and the vehicle bears an official emblem or other visible designation of the public service corporation or municipal utility.”
• “The resident is employed by a public safety agency, including police or fire service for a federal, state, local or tribal agency or a private fire service provider or an ambulance service provider that is regulated pursuant to title 36, chapter 21.1, and the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating of ten thousand pounds or less and bears an official emblem or other visible designation of that agency.”

If these conditions are not met, then the HOA may regulate street parking on private roads. It’s best to consult the governing documents to verify what the parking rules are, including the restrictions on street parking. However, keep in mind that HOAs are generally not allowed to regulate parking on public roads as they are maintained by the government.
