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 or parcels, 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 must notify the state real estate department.
The bill also revises definitions and requirements related to subdividers and subdivisions, clarifying terms such as "small land subdivider," "small land subdivision," and "small land subdivision public report." It amends existing provisions to include the new public report in disclosure requirements for contracts related to subdivided land and establishes penalties for violations concerning the sale or lease of lots in small land subdivisions without the necessary public report. Furthermore, it introduces a provision that mandates civil penalty proceedings to be initiated within five years of actual discovery by the department, clarifies property owners' responsibilities in no-fence districts, and updates definitions related to subdivisions and small land subdivisions. The bill also replaces outdated references and consolidates sections for improved clarity and organization.
