Arizona Seller Disclosure Requirements
What Arizona Sellers Must Disclose
- Known material physical defects
- Water sources (well or municipal) and well permits
- Environmental hazards including soil and drainage issues
- HOA existence, fees, and assessments
- Past flooding or drainage problems
Federal Lead-Based Paint Rule
Federal Title X (42 U.S.C. Section 4852d) requires every seller in every state, including Arizona, to disclose known lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards for homes built before 1978, provide the EPA pamphlet "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home," and give buyers a 10-day period to test for lead before becoming bound to the contract.
Arizona-Specific Considerations
Arizona courts have recognized a duty to disclose known material facts affecting value even though no state statute mandates a specific form. The SPDS is the de facto standard used in virtually every transaction.
How Closing Works in Arizona
Arizona is a title/escrow state where a title company (often with an in-house escrow department) manages the entire closing from earnest money deposit through recording, with no attorney required at any point (Arizona Department of Real Estate; DocJacket Attorney vs. Title States guide). The escrow officer holds earnest money, orders the title search and commitment, prepares the settlement statement, and coordinates signing, which can happen at the title office or separately for each party. Financed deals typically close in 30-45 days while cash sales can close in 7-14 days (Freedom Real Estate Services). At closing, the seller signs the Affidavit of Property Value and the deed is recorded with the county recorder, disbursing funds to the seller.
Special FSBO Considerations for Arizona
Arizona has no statutorily mandated disclosure form, but sellers must disclose all known material facts, and virtually all transactions use the Arizona Association of Realtors Seller's Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS) even though it isn't legally required by name (Arizona Department of Real Estate). If the property is in an HOA, sellers must provide CC&Rs, bylaws, financials, and budget documents, typically within about 10 days of contract execution. Homes built before 1978 require a federal lead-based paint disclosure in addition to any material-fact disclosures.

What must I disclose to buyers when selling FSBO in Arizona?
Arizona requires a hybrid seller disclosure. The legal basis is: No single statutory form; the Arizona Association of REALTORS' Seller's Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS) is the customary industry form (Common law duty to disclose known material facts; Arizona Revised Statutes Title 32, Chapter 20 (real estate licensing) informs broker disclosure duties).
How much is transfer tax in Arizona, and who pays it?
Arizona imposes no state or county real estate transfer tax; the only closing-related recording charge is a flat $2 fee under A.R.S. § 11-1132, paid to record the deed (Justia, law.justia.com Deal Run Arizona Transaction Guide, dealrun.ai).
Is there a mandatory attorney review period in Arizona?
Arizona does not have a statutory post-signing attorney review period like New Jersey's. FSBO sellers can still ask an attorney to review the contract before signing.
How much can I save by selling my home FSBO in Arizona?
On a typical Arizona sale, real estate commissions total about 5% to 6% of the sale price, roughly 3% to the listing agent and 3% to the buyer's agent. Based on a $425,000 Arizona home, eliminating that 6% keeps up to about $25,500 inside your transaction. When you sell FSBO on SaveOnYourHome.com, there is no listing fee and no listing-side commission owed to us. If your buyer also comes to you directly through your free SaveOnYourHome.com listing without a buyer's agent, the buyer-side ~3% (about $12,750) can be negotiated as a lower price or a closing credit on this same sale.
Do I need MLS access to sell FSBO in Arizona?
No. SaveOnYourHome.com is a nationwide FSBO platform that reaches Arizona buyers directly without requiring you to pay for MLS access or a listing agent.
Arizona FSBO Recommendation
Complete Arizona's official form or a comparable comprehensive form, keep copies of everything you disclose, and have a real estate attorney review your disclosure package before signing. Verify current requirements with a licensed Arizona real estate attorney.
