AZ HB2599

Reduces the statute of limitations for construction defect actions from 8 years to 4 years after substantial completion of improvements to real property, and from 9 years to 6 years for latent defects discovered in the fourth year.

Requires condominium associations to obtain two-thirds approval from unit owners voting before instituting, defending, or intervening in construction defect litigation.

Mandates associations obtain a professional engineer inspection identifying defective units or common elements before holding a unit owner vote on construction defect claims.

Requires associations provide certified mail notice to unit owners, developers, and construction professionals at least 15-30 days before the unit owner meeting, including inspection reports, estimated benefits and risks, and attorney fee arrangements.

Allows developers and construction professionals the right to offer remedies for alleged defects during the unit owner meeting before voting occurs, with cure rights commencing after unit owners approve the action.
