This bill proposes to amend the definition of "contiguous" in section 32-2101 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which currently defines contiguous lots, parcels, or fractional interests as those sharing a common boundary or point, excluding those separated by certain barriers. The new language would add that lots, parcels, or fractional interests separated by a private road or street are considered contiguous, thereby broadening the definition. Additionally, the bill removes the existing subsection (b) and renumbers the subsequent subsection accordingly. The updated definition will clarify that contiguous does not include lots, parcels, or fractional interests separated by a public road, street, or highway that has been established, dedicated, accepted, or maintained by the state or its subdivisions, and used continuously by the public for at least five years. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for subdivision requirements in real estate.
