The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend the definition of "contiguous" in Arizona's real estate statutes. Currently, the definition excludes lots, parcels, or fractional interests that are separated by a barrier or a road, street, or highway established by the state or federal government. The bill would modify this definition to include lots or parcels that are separated by a private road or street, thereby broadening the scope of what can be considered contiguous.

Additionally, the bill would clarify that "contiguous" does not include lots, parcels, or fractional interests separated by a public road, street, or highway that has been dedicated to and accepted by the state or any political subdivision. This change aims to refine the legal understanding of property boundaries in relation to public and private roads, ensuring that the definition aligns with contemporary real estate practices.
