The Residential Seller Disclosure Advisory is a document that helps Arizona sellers understand their disclosure obligations. It explains what material facts must be disclosed, what the consequences of non-disclosure can be, and why the guiding principle is straightforward: when in doubt, disclose.

Arizona law requires sellers to disclose all known material defects and facts that would affect the value or desirability of the property. The Advisory reinforces that sellers should err on the side of disclosure — attempting to conceal a known defect can expose a seller to legal liability after closing.

For sellers of horse property, acreage, or rural land, the Advisory is especially relevant for issues related to water source, well condition, septic systems, zoning, agricultural use, and any known encroachments or easements.
