When do I need a Public Report to sell lots in a subdivision that has existed for many years?
By law, A.R.S. 32-2101(54), you are a subdivider if you own or have owned 6 or more lots in a single platted subdivision and offer any
number of them for sale. All subdividers are required to obtain a Public Report(s) prior to offering lots for sale in accordance
with A.R.S 32-2181 et seq. and Commissioner's Rule R4-28-B1207.
It is the act of selling that requires a Public Report, not ownership. There is no time limit connected with this. It makes no difference when you acquired or sold a lot. Upon acquiring fee title or an equitable interest in the 6th lot within a single platted subdivision, a Public Report is required prior to its sale. You could purchase and sell 2 lots every five years and as soon as you acquire an interest in the 6th lot and offer the lot/lots for sale, you would be in violation if you did not obtain a Public Report. If you hold fee title or an equitable interest in 6 or more lots at one time, a Public Report is required prior to offering any of the lots for sale.
How many splits can I make and not have to file for a subdivision Public Report?
If two lots are contiguous is that considered one lot by the Department?

The county said I can only divide my property X number of times. Is this true?
