The proposed bill would update current statutes by allowing county boards of supervisors to adopt regulations for small land subdivisions consisting of 6 to 10 lots or parcels, with each parcel being at least 2 acres and exempt from assured water supply requirements. It would require applicants to submit a small land subdivision report and ensure legal access to each lot. Additionally, counties would be mandated to notify the Arizona Department of Real Estate of any ordinances or regulations they adopt regarding these subdivisions. The bill also introduces new disclosure requirements and civil penalties for violations, while updating definitions related to small land subdivisions.

Moreover, the bill clarifies existing language and definitions, modifies penalties for violations, and specifies that civil penalties for non-compliance can be assessed by the commissioner, with a maximum of $5,000 for each infraction. It also establishes a five-year timeframe for initiating proceedings related to civil penalties or license suspensions. The bill aims to streamline the process for small land subdivisions and enhance clarity and consistency in property and water supply regulations, while removing outdated legal language and reorganizing sections for better flow.
