The proposed bill would 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. The bill would add that this definition includes lots, parcels, or fractional interests separated by a private road or street, thereby expanding the criteria for what constitutes contiguous property.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the definition excludes lots, parcels, or fractional interests separated by a public road, street, or highway that has been established, dedicated, and accepted by the state or its subdivisions, as well as those designated as interstate highways and regularly maintained for public use for at least five years. This change aims to refine the legal understanding of property boundaries in relation to subdivision requirements.
