Legal Alert: New Ruling from Arizona Supreme Court Limits CC&R Amendments
By: Cameron Artigue
On March 22nd, 2022, the Arizona Supreme Court issued an opinion on Kalway v. Calabria Ranch HOA LLC et al. regarding the scope of permissible amendments to Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs).

A general provision for amendments (such as “these restrictions may be amended in whole or in part’) does not open the door to all possible amendments. Rather, amendments to CC&Rs are permitted only if they are foreseeable refinements to existing obligations.
The Court’s ruling only applies to amendments that impose “affirmative obligations” that create restrictions on use.
