HB 2597 Summary

• Requires sellers of single-family residences to disclose to buyers if a person required to register as a sex offender under Arizona law resides within one-half mile of the property, if the seller has knowledge of this fact.

• Applies to sales of single-family residences only.

• Creates new section 33-443 in Arizona Revised Statutes (Title 33, Chapter 4, Article 3) governing disclosure requirements for residential property conveyances.

• Disclosure obligation is limited to information "if known by the seller," meaning sellers are not required to investigate or verify sex offender registrations.
