Does a home seller have to disclose the property’s condition in Arizona?

In Arizona, a seller of five or fewer parcels of land other than subdivided land in an unincorporated area of a county must give the buyer a written affidavit of disclosure (legal and physical access, roads, floodplain, soils, utilities and more) at least seven days before the transfer, and the buyer may rescind within five days after receiving it. The buyer acknowledges receipt of the affidavit, and the seller records it at the same time as the deed. A release or waiver of the seller’s liability for an omission or misrepresentation in the affidavit is not valid or binding on the buyer. Federal law separately requires a lead-based paint disclosure when selling most homes built before 1978. This is A.R.S. § 33-422.
