Political Signage and Canvassing

The State of Arizona allows political signage 71 days in advance of the election date and three days after. For the upcoming November election, up to nine square feet of signage is allowed to be placed on a homeowner’s property beginning August 25.

Per the State of Arizona, the Association cannot restrict door-to-door political activity, including solicitation of support or opposition for a candidate or issue. For the Retreat Village, the stipulation is that a resident of the Retreat must be present with the group canvassing at all times.

The GCA and RVA can, and do, require an identification tag for each person engaged in the political activity and ask that they clearly identify the candidate or issue they are supporting. While it is okay to hand someone materials when speaking face-to-face, we ask that you please not leave anything on the garage or front door. Many Grayhawk homeowners are part-time, and this is a safety issue as it alerts potential burglars to the fact that a resident is not home.

You can find information about these topics on the Arizona State Legislature website.

Landscaping Updates

Monsoon storms last Tuesday and Thursday brought little rain but plenty of unwanted winds, toppling several trees and breaking many branches. DLC Resources crews have been focusing on removing priority trees and large branches that are blocking roads, walks and walls. DLC will continue to evaluate any storm cleanup needs this week before returning to routine maintenance.

DLC will also be addressing two broken sidewalk slabs along Hayden Rd. this week.
