Septic Information From The State of Arizona


Arizona State Law requires that the Seller of a property served

by a septic system provide to the Buyer a State Inspection

Report. The report is an eight page long form that must be filled

out by a Licensed Septic Inspector.


This report is good for six months, meaning that a seller can

use the report an unlimited number of times, in a six-month

period, following the date of inspection. This is why the Seller

normally pays for the State Inspection Report. If the Buyer

cancels, the report can still benefit the Seller, once another

offer is accepted.


*NOTE: The State of Arizona issued this statement:

“Waiver of Seller’s responsibility to comply with a legal

requirement is not allowable, regardless of status of seller as a

financial institution or entity, and regardless of a real estate

contract drafted or drawn by the Seller.”
