Who is primarily responsible for seeking information about a homeowners association?

The primary responsibility for providing information about a homeowners association typically falls on the seller. This obligation stems from the seller's duty to disclose relevant information that may affect the buyer's decision-making process regarding the property. In many jurisdictions, including Arizona, sellers are required to share details about the homeowners association, such as rules, regulations, fees, and any special assessments that may impact the buyer's living experience.

While buyers may conduct their own research or rely on their agents for assistance, the legal responsibility to furnish essential information lies with the seller. This ensures transparency and allows the buyer to make an informed choice regarding their investment. In contrast, buyer's agents and sellers' agents play supportive roles, helping their clients navigate information but not holding the primary responsibility for its provision.
