Arizona Foreclosure Changing Law as of September 2009
Arizona’s laws that prohibit deficiencies are found in Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 33-814.G and 33-729.A. These types of laws are also called “anti-deficiency legislation.”
ARS § 33-729.A states, “. . . if a mortgage is given to secure the payment of the balance of the purchase price, or to secure a loan to pay all or part of the purchase price, of a parcel of real property of two and one-half acres or less which is limited to and utilized for either a single one-family or single two-family dwelling, the lien of judgment in an action to foreclose such mortgage shall not extend to any other property of the judgment debtor, nor may general execution be issued against the judgment debtor to enforce such judgment, and if the proceeds of the mortgaged real property sold under special execution are insufficient to satisfy the judgment, the judgment may not otherwise be satisfied out of other property of the judgment debtor, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary.
Old Law
ARS § 33-814.G before September 30, 2009, states, “If trust property of two and one-half acres or less which is limited to and utilized for either a single one-family or a single two-family dwelling is sold pursuant to the trustee’s power of sale, no action may be maintained to recover any difference between the amount obtained by sale and the amount of the indebtedness and any interest, costs and expenses.”
New Law
ARS § 33-814.G after September 30, 2009, states, “If trust property of two and one-half acres or less which is limited to and utilized for either a single one-family or a single two-family dwelling BY THE TRUSTOR UNDER THE DEED OF TRUST FOR AT LEAST SIX CONSECUTIVE MONTHS AND FOR WHICH A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY HAS BEEN ISSUED is sold pursuant to the trustee’s power of sale, no action may be maintained to recover any difference between the amount obtained by sale and the amount of the indebtedness and any interest, costs and expenses. THE TRUSTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEMONSTRATING THAT THE TRUST PROPERTY WAS USED BY THE TRUSTOR AS A ONE-FAMILY OR A SINGLE TWO-FAMILY DWELLING FOR AT LEAST SIX CONSECUTIVE MONTHS.
