This bill modifies Arizona’s municipal improvement districts, specifically addressing the process for petitions to form districts for improvements like pedestrian malls, parking facilities, and sewer systems. It streamlines the petition process, particularly when all property owners within a proposed district sign the petition, allowing the governing body to immediately order the improvement without extensive public notices. The bill also clarifies requirements for assessing costs and establishing district boundaries, and includes provisions for dissolving districts formed under this legislation.
