Bill > HB2574

This bill introduces a new legal framework for small land subdivisions in Arizona, allowing counties to authorize the division of land into six to ten parcels that are two acres or more in size, without requiring an assured water supply. The bill establishes a new process for creating and selling these small land subdivisions, which includes several key provisions. Specifically, counties that choose to allow small land subdivisions must require applicants to submit a "Small Land Subdivision Public Report" to the state real estate department, ensure each lot has legal access, and provide written notice of their ordinance authorizing such subdivisions. The report must include detailed disclosures about the property, such as access, water supply, utilities, potential environmental risks, and proximity to military facilities. The bill also establishes civil penalties for subdividers who sell lots without obtaining the required public report, with potential fines up to $5,000 per infraction. Additionally, the legislation amends several existing statutes to integrate the new small land subdivision process into Arizona's existing real estate and land division regulations, providing a streamlined approach for smaller land divisions while maintaining consumer protection mechanisms.
