HOAs and Halloween: Halloween During COVID<\/h3>\n

It’s no secret that this year has been a perfect storm of life-changing events. When COVID-19 first hit American soil, the nation had to come together to find a way to reduce the spread of the virus and protect the residents of communities from coast to coast.<\/p>\n

Now, as the holidays draw nearer, we’re still having to course correct to ensure our loved ones’ safety while still getting to enjoy the magic of the season. With the spooky season upon us, it’s time for our Arizona HOAs and Halloween conversation.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for safe ways to celebrate the holiday, you’re in the right place! Read on for some HOA rules for trick or treating you can implement in your local community to reduce the risk of another outbreak and protect your residents of all ages!<\/p>\n

Rules for HOAs and Halloween<\/span><\/h4>\n

When it comes to celebrating Halloween safely, we are here to help you find the best way to relay information to your residents.
\nA useful acronym to use is for a safe holiday is “HALLOWEEN”:<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>–\u00a0Hand sanitizer use and hand washing should be frequent in public areas
\nA<\/strong>–\u00a0Allow at least 6-feet between your group and others while attending seasonal activities
\nL<\/strong>–\u00a0Look for activities that encourage safe social distancing
\nL<\/strong>–\u00a0Lower your risk by attending events during less popular times
\nO<\/strong>–\u00a0Only take off your mask to eat or drink
\nW<\/strong>– Wear a protective face mask\u00a0even when you’re wearing a costume mask
\nE<\/strong>–\u00a0Encourage your friends and family to participate and have fun!
\nE<\/strong>–\u00a0Enjoy what the holiday has to offer
\nN<\/strong>–\u00a0Notice and respect people’s boundaries<\/p>\n

While Halloween looks a little different this year, it’s still possible to have fun and make memories while staying safe. Implementing safe, simple rules for your community association will protect the people that make your HOA so unique.<\/p>\n

It’s also important to remind your residents what types of decorations aren’t allowed this time of year. An outline about noise levels, considerate lighting options, yard art, and religious references can help everyone make the most of this season. You can use newsletters, HOA social media sites,<\/a> or your HOA website to communicate these rules.<\/p>\n

Safe Ways to Celebrate Halloween<\/span><\/h4>\n

When it comes to choosing a high-fun, low-risk activity for your family this Halloween, trick or treat during COVID may not be your best option. If you want to steer clear of the crowds and find some new traditions, why not try one of these?<\/p>\n

Go BIG on decorations
\nFind a\u00a0drive-through Halloween activity
\nHave a Halloween movie night
\nHost a video chat costume party with games and competitions
\nMake special treats
\nCamp out at home or a local park
\nHalloween-themed scavenger hunt
\nHost an HOA-friendly, neighborhood-wide drive-by trick or treat
\nChoose Your Spooky Season Activities Wisely<\/p>\n

To have a safe, fun holiday season, it’s up to our HOAs and Halloween guidelines to remind or inform residents on how to proceed. As the season grows nearer, local, state, and national policies could change again, so be sure to monitor these situations closely.<\/p>\n
