AZ SB1026

Beginning January 1, 2016, subdividers selling lots outside active management areas must record a document stating whether the subdivision has an adequate or inadequate water supply as determined by the Department of Water Resources.

The disclosure document must be recorded with the subdivision plat in the county recorder's office and include the legal description of the subdivision land and the water supply adequacy status.

If the Department of Water Resources later determines a previously inadequate water supply becomes adequate, the water provider must notify affected customers in writing, though notification can occur through normal business practices.

Subdividers already required to provide water adequacy disclosures under section 33-406 are exempt from these new requirements.

"Subdivider" is defined according to section 32-2101 of Arizona Revised Statutes.
