Arizona Planned Communities Act — A.R.S. § 33-1801 requires rules to be reasonable. Noise-based restrictions tied to specific decibel limits are more enforceable than blanket bans. Review your CC&R language — if motorcycles aren't explicitly prohibited, the HOA may be overreaching.
Arizona HOA street parking rules — public vs private roads
In Arizona, the distinction is critical: HOAs can enforce parking rules on private roads they own and maintain. However, for public streets owned by the city/county, the HOA generally cannot issue fines or tow vehicles — only law enforcement can.

Under Arizona Planned Communities Act — A.R.S. § 33-1801, arbitrary or excessive fees may be challenged. $10/day for first offense; $25/day thereafter — max set by CC&Rs. If the permit fee seems punitive rather than administrative, request a breakdown of the cost justification at the next board meeting.
Can HOA tow my visitor's car without notice in Arizona?
In Arizona, HOAs must typically provide warning before towing — such as a sticker, notice on the vehicle, or written warning to the homeowner. Under Arizona Planned Communities Act — A.R.S. § 33-1801, immediate towing without notice may only be permitted for clearly marked fire lanes, blocking access, or abandoned vehicles. If your visitor's car was towed without warning for a parking rule violation, you can dispute the tow and demand reimbursement.
