🛡 DisputeShield — Homeowner Response Letter
Prepared for: M. Thompson | Phoenix, AZ

TO: Sunridge Estates HOA Board of Directors

VIA: Certified Mail — Return Receipt Requested

RE: Formal Response to Violation Notice #2026-0418 — Landscaping Modification

Dear Members of the Sunridge Estates HOA Board,

I am writing in formal response to Violation Notice #2026-0418 dated April 18, 2026, alleging an unauthorized landscaping modification. After careful review of the governing documents and applicable Arizona HOA statutes, I respectfully dispute this violation on the following grounds:

⚖️ Finding 1 — Selective Enforcement (A.R.S. § 33-1803): A review of the community reveals at least three neighboring properties maintain substantially similar landscaping modifications without HOA notices on record. Under Arizona law, an association may not enforce a rule selectively against one owner while permitting the same conduct by others.
📋 Finding 2 — Architectural Review Procedural Defect: Per Article VII, Section 4.2 of the CC&Rs, the Board is required to respond to an architectural modification request within 30 days. No response was received to my written request submitted February 3, 2026 — a lapse of 74 days. Under these circumstances, approval is deemed granted by default.
📣 Finding 3 — Notice Defect: The violation notice fails to comply with A.R.S. § 33-1803(A), which requires written notice to specify the exact provision violated, the corrective action required, and the time period for cure.

Based on the foregoing, I respectfully demand that Violation Notice #2026-0418 be rescinded in its entirety within 14 days of this letter…
