This bill proposes updates to current statutes regarding land division and property regulations in Arizona. It introduces a new section,
11-834, which allows county boards of supervisors to adopt regulations for small land subdivisions of six to ten lots, exempting them from certain water supply requirements. Applicants for these subdivisions must submit a public report and ensure legal access to each lot, as defined in
section 11-831. Additionally, counties that authorize small land subdivisions are required to notify the state real estate department.
The bill also revises definitions and requirements related to subdividers and subdivisions, establishing new definitions for
"small land subdivider" and
"small land subdivision", while modifying existing definitions for clarity. It expands disclosure requirements in contracts for the sale or lease of subdivided land to include the small land subdivision public report and introduces civil penalties for violations related to the sale or lease of lots without the necessary public report. Furthermore, it mandates that any civil penalty proceedings be initiated within five years of discovery and clarifies property owner responsibilities in no-fence districts. The bill also updates outdated references and consolidates sections for improved clarity and organization.
