AZ HB2570

Adds requirement that condominium boards must submit substantial changes to common elements involving security or outside appearance to a membership vote, with the vote being binding on the condominium and board.

Limits regular assessment increases to no more than 20 percent greater than the preceding fiscal year's assessment unless the condominium documents provide for a lower limit, unless a majority of unit owners approve a higher increase.

Allows unit owners to withhold assessment payments if the association fails to maintain common elements in a manner affecting health, safety, or structural integrity, provided written notice is given and the failure is not corrected within 60 days; withheld assessments are forgiven upon correction.

Unit owners are not liable for assessments accrued during the maintenance failure period once the issue is corrected and they receive written notice, though they must pay subsequent assessments.

Clarifies that payments received on member accounts shall be applied first to unpaid assessments and related fees, then to other unpaid charges, unless the member directs otherwise.
