residential lease community; water; requirements

This bill requires cities and county supervisors in Arizona to verify water availability and payment of specific fees before approving building permits for new residential lease communities in active management areas. It defines a residential lease community as six or more detached rental units sold or leased under a common promotional plan, while excluding housing for agricultural workers. The law does not apply to communities that already existed or received zoning approval by September 30, 2024. Additionally, the bill updates the state's real estate definitions to clarify terms like "acting in concert" and "advertising" within the context of land sales.
