Bill > HB2569

This bill makes several changes to Arizona water and real estate regulations, focusing primarily on water supply certification and residential lease communities. The bill amends multiple sections of Arizona law to introduce new requirements for water supply certification for residential lease communities and multifamily residential properties in active management areas. Specifically, the bill requires that before obtaining a building permit or building plan approval for residential lease communities or multifamily residential properties, applicants must either obtain a certificate of assured water supply or secure a written commitment of water service from a designated water provider. The bill defines "residential lease community" as six or more detached residential dwelling units intended for lease, and introduces new activation fees and membership dues for such properties. Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to definitions and cross-references in water conservation district and real estate regulations, including adding provisions for agricultural worker housing. The changes are designed to ensure water availability and regulate the development of residential lease communities in areas with water management concerns, particularly in Arizona's active management areas.
