real estate; definition of contiguous

HB 2094 amends Arizona law to clarify the definition of "contiguous" for real estate purposes. It specifies that contiguous land parcels share a common boundary or are separated only by a private road, while excluding parcels divided by natural/man-made barriers or publicly maintained roads (like highways used by the public for five+ years). This definition directly affects real estate developers, brokers, and sellers when marketing land, particularly in master-planned communities where multiple subdivisions might be promoted together. The change aims to resolve ambiguity in how land parcels are grouped for sales and marketing under existing regulations.
