Arizona HOA Resale Certificate Fee Calculator — ARS § 33-1806(G) / § 33-1260 ($400 Standard Cap; $500 Expedited Cap; 10-Business-Day Delivery; 5-Day Buyer Cancellation Right)

How this calculator works

This is an Arizona HOA resale disclosure fee compliance tool under ARS § 33-1806(G) (Arizona Planned Communities Act) and ARS § 33-1260 (Arizona Condominium Act). Given the association type, request date, delivery type (standard or expedited), fee charged, package delivery date, and as-of date, it returns:

1. The maximum lawful fee ($400 standard; $500 expedited).
2. Whether the charged fee exceeds the statutory cap, and by how much.
3. The delivery deadline (request date + 10 business days standard, or + 3 business days expedited).
4. Delivery compliance status (on time, late, past due, or not yet delivered).
5. The buyer's 5-calendar-day cancellation deadline from the delivery date.
6. Whether the buyer is currently within the cancellation window.

Use this calculator at contract execution to confirm the fee and delivery timeline, at delivery to confirm the buyer's cancellation window, or when auditing a past transaction for compliance.

The relevant ARS Title 33 statutes

ARS § 33-1806(G) — Planned-community resale disclosure fee cap. As amended in 2022, the Arizona Planned Communities Act caps the total fee for a resale disclosure package at $400 for standard delivery (10 business days) and permits an additional fee of up to $100 for expedited delivery (3 business days), for a maximum total of $500 expedited. The buyer has 5 calendar days to cancel after receiving the package.

ARS § 33-1260 — Condominium resale disclosure fee cap. The Arizona Condominium Act contains the equivalent provision with the same $400/$500 caps, 10/3 business day delivery requirements, and 5-day buyer cancellation right.

2022 Arizona HOA Reform Amendments. The $400/$500 fee caps were established by 2022 amendments to ARS § 33-1806(G) and § 33-1260, responding to widespread reports of Arizona associations charging $500–$1,000+ for resale disclosures. The caps are among the strictest in the country.

Arizona-specific gotchas (hard fee cap; 10-business-day delivery; 5-day cancellation)

THE $400/$500 CAP IS A HARD STATUTORY CAP, NOT A MARKET RATE. Arizona HOA associations may NOT charge more than $400 for a standard resale disclosure package regardless of the actual cost of preparation, management company fees, or "document processing" add-ons. Any fee above $400 (standard) or $500 (expedited) is unlawful and refundable. This is materially stricter than Florida (no single statewide cap for HOA resale certificates; market rates of $150–$500+ are common) and Nevada (no statutory cap at all). Third-party document-preparation companies that charge separate fees on top of the association fee are not entitled to additional charges under the statute if the total exceeds the cap.

EXPEDITED DELIVERY MUST BE SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED. The association is not required to deliver on a 3-business-day timeline unless the buyer or their agent specifically requests expedited service in writing. The expedited request should be made at the time of the original request. The association may not charge the $100 expedited premium unless expedited service was requested.

THE 5-DAY CANCELLATION WINDOW RUNS FROM RECEIPT, NOT DELIVERY. The buyer's 5-calendar-day cancellation right runs from the date the buyer RECEIVES the disclosure package — not from the date it was mailed or delivered to an agent. For mailed packages, allow 2–3 days for postal delivery when computing the cancellation window. For hand delivery or email delivery, the clock starts on the delivery date.

THE 10-BUSINESS-DAY DEADLINE CAN AFFECT TRANSACTION TIMELINES. In a 21-day close, a standard 10-business-day delivery period leaves only a few days between delivery and closing. If the resale disclosure is requested at or after contract execution, a 10-business-day turnaround plus 5 calendar days for the buyer's cancellation window can push the cancellation deadline past the scheduled closing date. Request expedited delivery if the timeline is tight.

BUSINESS DAYS EXCLUDE WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. The 10-business-day (standard) and 3-business-day (expedited) delivery deadlines are business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. A request submitted on a Friday starts the business-day clock on the following Monday.

THE FEE CAP COVERS THE ENTIRE PACKAGE, NOT INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS. Some associations and management companies have attempted to charge separate fees for individual components (copies of the CC&Rs, financial statements, ledger balance, etc.) and then aggregate them to a total above $400. The statute caps the TOTAL fee for the resale disclosure package. Individual-component charges that aggregate above the cap are unlawful.

What this calculator does NOT model

• The specific contents required in the Arizona resale disclosure package under ARS § 33-1806(G) / § 33-1260.
• Transfer fees or other administrative fees separate from the resale disclosure package fee (transfer fees are subject to separate statutory limits).
• Third-party document-preparation company fees and whether they fall within the cap.
• The ADRE complaint and dispute-resolution process for fee-cap violations.
• Escrow instructions and the interaction between the buyer's cancellation right and contract contingencies.

For any disputed resale transaction, retain Arizona counsel with ARS Title 33 Chapter 16 or Chapter 9 experience.
