HB2023 amends the requirements for the affidavit of disclosure that must be provided by sellers of land in unincorporated areas of Arizona. The bill mandates that the affidavit include additional disclosures, such as the responsibility of the buyer to inspect private wells and the potential need for water delivery systems or water hauling. It also adds questions about private well registration, on-site wastewater treatment facility inspections, and septic system maintenance. Furthermore, the bill exempts personal representatives of an estate from being considered as sellers or subsequent sellers.

The bill also changes the process for recording the affidavit, allowing a licensed escrow agent to record it at the seller's direction and shielding the agent from liability for any inaccuracies in the affidavit. Additionally, it clarifies that trustees of a deed of trust, officers conducting execution sales, and personal representatives of an estate are not included in the definition of seller or subsequent seller for the purposes of the affidavit requirements. The bill becomes effective on the general effective date.
