HB 2007: subdivided lands; civil penalties

Sponsor: Representative Griffin, LD 19

Committee on Land, Agriculture & Rural Affairs

Overview

Specifies that the civil penalty for a subdivider or agent who engages in unlawful practice with respect to the sale or lease of subdivided lands applies to each lot where a violation occurs.

History

Currently, a subdivider or agent who violates statute or any rule adopted by the Real Estate Commissioner (Commissioner) or who engages in unlawful practices with respect to the sale or lease of subdivided lands can be assessed a civil penalty by the Commissioner of no more than $2,000 for each infraction. An infraction that concerns more than one lot in a subdivision is a single infraction (A.R.S. § 32-2185.09).

A subdivider is any person who offers for sale or lease six or more lots, parcels or fractional interests in a subdivision, causes land to be subdivided into a subdivision or develops a subdivision. A subdivider is not a public agency or officer authorized by statute to create subdivisions (A.R.S. § 32-2101).
