Sun City Home Owners Association (SCHOA) Fees
Due at Sale of a Home to New Owner – Effective January 1, 2026
When a title company contacts SCHOA about a pending sale of the home, SCHOA is not required by law or statute to provide the requested documents. To provide such documents, SCHOA is entitled to financial consideration to defray its expenses in the provision of such information and documentation.
Also, the area known as Sun City is not a planned community as defined by ARS 33-1801 et seq. as it does not own or manage Common Areas. However, the lots are subject to recorded CC&Rs (deed restrictions). SCHOA, a non-profit entity, is per the CC&Rs, the entity with authority to enforce the recorded CC&Rs against the owners of lots in Sun City.
