AZ HB2713

Reduces statute of limitations for contract-based actions against real property developers from 8 years to 4 years after substantial completion of improvements, except for municipalities and counties which retain 8 years.

For injury to real property, establishes separate timelines: municipalities/counties have 1 year to sue (capped at 9 years total), while other claimants have 2 years to sue (capped at 6 years total) from discovery of latent defects.

Requires homeowners' associations to obtain a professional engineer inspection before filing dwelling actions and notify all homeowners and sellers at least 7 days before inspection.

Changes homeowners' association authorization from board approval to requiring a two-thirds member vote, with votes submitted in writing and records maintained throughout the action.

Requires sellers and construction professionals to receive notice of proposed dwelling actions and attend the pre-filing meeting where they have the right to present and offer to remedy alleged defects.
