The purpose of a Public Report is to protect the public by disclosing material information about a subdivision and adjacent property to the prospective home buyers. It is now easy to obtain a copy of a Public Report if issued after Jan. 1 1997.  

Effective September 1 2005, the public has access to the ADRE (Arizona Dept of Real Estate) Subdivision Database on its website.  

Buyers of resale properties are encouraged to access this service. New home buyers must be given a Public Report and time to review before signing a contract.
