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, specifically for parcels that are two acres or larger and not subject to assured water supply requirements. This includes the requirement for 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 (ADRE) of any ordinances they adopt regarding these subdivisions. The bill also introduces new disclosure requirements for public reports, including ownership details and land surveys, and establishes civil penalties for violations.
Moreover, the bill revises definitions and requirements related to subdividers and subdivisions, introducing terms such as "small land subdivider" and "small land subdivision public report." It clarifies responsibilities and expands liability for misrepresentations in public reports. The bill also modifies existing language to ensure that developers must submit plans for water supply adequacy before recording the plat, and it streamlines statutes by removing outdated references and clarifying definitions related to water supply adequacy. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the regulatory framework governing land development in Arizona while ensuring adequate disclosure and access for potential buyers.
