How HOAChime handles Arizona requests
Each association's state and type sets the 10 business day deadline automatically, counted with Arizona holidays. HOAChime sends reminder emails, shows a due-soon and overdue list across every association, and lets you mark records withheld with the state's reason. It also finds and blacks out Social Security, card, bank, licence, phone and email numbers before release, tracks charges as quoted, paid or waived, and keeps a full history of the request.
