Also called: HOA disclosure, resale disclosure, statement of unpaid assessments, lien estoppel. If you were told to get an Arizona resale certificate, or an AZ resale certificate as closing agents write it, for a home in an HOA or a condominium, this is that document. It has nothing to do with the sales tax resale certificate a retailer files with the state.
What each Arizona act sets
Arizona has 2 sets of rules, and which one applies depends on how the community was created. Havn asks once which act governs a community, then applies that act's limits to every order.

Arizona HOA laws on resale documents, in plain words
Each entry links to the official text. Read the statute itself before relying on a summary.
A.R.S. 33-1201 (Condominium Act)
The Arizona Condominium Act (Title 33, Chapter 9) governs condominiums created in the state at any time, covering formation and declarations, association governance and owner rights, assessments and liens, records, and the disclosures a seller or association must give on resale. It has no separate lender questionnaire statute; lender requests for payoff or account information are handled through the same resale disclosure and assessment lien provisions. Applies to condominium unit owners' associations.
A.R.S. 33-1801 (Planned Communities Act)
The Arizona Planned Communities Act (Title 33, Chapter 16) governs planned communities and homeowners associations in the state, with limited exemptions for certain schools, timeshare plans, and older nonprofit associations that have not opted in. It covers association governance and owner rights, assessments and liens, records, and the disclosures a member or association must give on resale. It has no separate lender questionnaire statute; lender requests for payoff or account information are handled through the same resale disclosure and assessment lien provisions. Applies to homeowners associations governing planned communities.
A.R.S. 33-1260 (Resale disclosure and fees)
The selling unit owner, or the association for larger condominiums, must furnish the purchaser a resale disclosure package covering governing documents, financials, and assessment and lien information. The statute sets a delivery deadline tied to acceptance of the purchase offer and caps the fees the association may charge for preparing and delivering it. Applies to condominium unit owners' associations.
A.R.S. 33-1806 (Resale disclosure and fees)
The selling member, or the association for larger communities, must furnish the purchaser a resale disclosure package covering governing documents, financials, and assessment and lien information.

Applies to homeowners associations governing planned communities.
A.R.S. 33-1256 (Common expense liens; statement of unpaid assessments)
On request from a lienholder, escrow agent, unit owner, or the owner's designee, the association must furnish a statement of the unit's unpaid assessments and any judgment lien, serving as the association's payoff or estoppel statement for a sale or refinance. The statute sets a delivery deadline and ties a missed deadline for an escrow agent's request to loss of the lien. Applies to condominium unit owners' associations.
A.R.S. 33-1807 (Common expense liens; statement of unpaid assessments)
On request from a lienholder, escrow agent, member, or the member's designee, the association must furnish a statement of the property's unpaid assessments and any judgment lien, serving as the association's payoff or estoppel statement for a sale or refinance.

This resale disclosure report is furnished under A.R.S. 33-1260. The information in it is based on good-faith reliance on the association's records and information without independent investigation, and is current as of the issue date. The association may charge the selling unit owner a fee of not more than $400 in the aggregate for this report, any lien estoppel statement, and any other services related to the transfer or use of the property, plus a rush fee of not more than $100 if the rush services are required to be performed within 72 hours after the request for rush services.

Arizona's payoff statement
A lienholder, escrow agent, unit owner or member, or a person the owner designates may request a statement of unpaid assessments, and the association must furnish it within ten days after receipt of the request (A.R.S. 33-1256(J); 33-1807(J)). The statement is binding on the association when requested by a licensed escrow agency, and failure to furnish it to the escrow agent within ten days extinguishes the association's lien for any unpaid assessment then due. The lien estoppel fee counts toward the $400 aggregate the association and its managing agent may charge for resale disclosure, lien estoppel, and any other services related to the transfer, plus no more than $100 for rush service within 72 hours and $50 for an update; those fees may be collected no earlier than the close of escrow and charged only once, and a fee charged in violation carries a civil penalty of up to $1,200 (A.R.S. 33-1260(D), (E); 33-1806(D), (E)).

Arizona resale disclosure report: common questions
What is an Arizona resale disclosure report?
It is what Arizona law has the association provide when a home in condominiums and HOAs and planned communities is sold: a statement of what the home owes and of the association's finances, insurance, and rules, under A.R.S. 33-1260 and A.R.S. 33-1806.
How much does an Arizona resale disclosure report cost?
Arizona caps the fee at $400. Rush delivery can add $100 for delivery within 3 days. Inside the cap, the association or its management company sets the price.
How long does an Arizona association have to provide a resale disclosure report?
10 days, counted from the request.
Is a resale disclosure report required in Arizona?
Yes, for condominiums and HOAs and planned communities, under A.R.S. 33-1260 and A.R.S. 33-1806.
Can a buyer cancel after receiving an Arizona resale disclosure report?
Arizona law ties no cancellation right to this document. Any right to cancel comes from the purchase contract or from other disclosure laws.
Who pays for the resale disclosure report in Arizona?
Whoever orders it pays the association's fee, usually the seller or the closing agent on the seller's behalf, and the purchase contract can move the cost to the buyer. In Arizona the fee is collected at the close of escrow.
What is included in an Arizona resale disclosure report?
What the home owes the association, the fees due at closing, the budget and reserves, the insurance the association carries, pending lawsuits, and the governing documents. Arizona adds one more item, listed on this page. The full list is in A.R.S. 33-1260.
How do I get a resale disclosure report in Arizona?
Ask the association, or its management company if it has one. Many take the request through an online order page and deliver by email. Once asked, a Arizona association has 10 days. A buyer should ask the seller or the closing agent to order it.
Is this the same as an Arizona sales tax resale certificate?
No. A sales tax resale certificate is a form a retailer gives a supplier so it can buy goods without paying sales tax. It shares a name and nothing else. This page is about the HOA document used when a home is sold.
