Sell your Arizona land for cash

No. Arizona has no state real estate transfer tax, only a flat fee. The state constitution bars the state and local governments from adding new taxes or fees on real property sales. Charges in place on December 31, 2007 are exempt. The county recorder collects a $2 transfer fee, which is part of the $30 fee to record a deed. Unless an exemption applies, the deed must have an affidavit of property value, or the recorder will refuse to record it.

Interest starts, and the county can sell a tax lien on your land. Delinquent taxes bear simple interest of 16% a year. Each February the county treasurer sells tax liens on parcels with unpaid taxes. The lien buyer pays everything owed and bids the lowest interest rate you must pay to redeem, up to 16%. The buyer does not get the land at that sale, but can later sue to foreclose your right to redeem. Source: A.R.S. 42-18053, 42-18112 and 42-18114.

Yes, until a court forecloses your right to redeem. You can redeem at any time in the three years after the sale. After that, the lien buyer can sue to foreclose, and you can still redeem until the court enters judgment. You pay the county treasurer the lien amount, later taxes the buyer paid and certain fees, all with interest at the bid rate. If you redeem after notice of that suit is recorded, you also owe the buyer's costs, including reasonable attorney fees. You can ask the court for an excess proceeds sale if the land should sell for more than $2,500 above what is owed, including costs.

Often, yes. If you sell five or fewer parcels, other than subdivided land, in an unincorporated county area, you must give the buyer an affidavit of disclosure. You must furnish it at least seven days before the transfer, and the buyer can rescind for five days after receiving it. It covers items such as access, floodplain, water supply, septic and whether the land division meets state law. You must record it with the deed, and a waiver of your liability for its errors is not valid. Source: A.R.S. 33-422.

Yes, but the rules depend on where the land is and how many lots you create. Under state real estate law, six or more lots for sale or lease make a subdivision, unless each lot is 36 acres or more. Inside a city or town, four or more lots, or two or more with a new street, count as a subdivision. In an Active Management Area, a subdivider generally needs a certificate of assured water supply, or a designated provider's commitment, before plat approval. Smaller splits may need county review. If a split breaks the land division rules, the owner may not be able to get a building permit. Ask your city or county planning office before you divide land.
