The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to property inspections by the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) and county assessors. Under the new provisions, ADOR would be required to notify property owners of upcoming inspections and provide them with a copy of the inspection report. Similarly, county assessors would also need to notify property owners before conducting inspections for agricultural property classification and provide inspection reports to them. These requirements are new insertions to the existing law.

Additionally, the bill introduces a three-year exemption from subsequent on-site inspections for agricultural properties that meet specific criteria, unless there is a change in use, a property split, or a change in ownership or lease. This exemption is a significant update to the current law, which does not provide such a time frame for agricultural properties. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and communication between property owners and the authorities regarding property inspections.
