About HOA plant lists
Do HOAs require approved plants in Arizona?
Many do. A lot of Valley HOAs keep a plant list in their design guidelines, and front yard plants need to come from it. Some plants are allowed in back yards only. Rules vary by community, so check yours.
How do I get landscape approval from my HOA?
Send your HOA an architectural or design review request before you change your front yard. Include a simple plan that shows what you will plant and where. Wait for written approval before you plant.
Where do I find my HOA's plant list?
It is usually in your community's design guidelines or architectural guidelines, often as an appendix. Look on your HOA website or resident portal. If you can't find it, ask your community manager.
Can I plant something that isn't on the list?
Often yes, with approval. Many Valley HOA guidelines say plants not on the list need written committee approval first. Ask before you plant, not after.
Check with your community or HOA. Requirements are subject to change.
