What the Arizona rules mean for your lists
Arizona sells the unpaid tax, not the house, so a tax-delinquent owner usually keeps the property through the redemption period. That makes the delinquent list a long-running list: owners stay reachable for months or years, and the earlier you write, the more choices they still have.
Most mortgage foreclosures in Arizona happen outside the courts and can move from notice to sale within a few months, so the first weeks after a notice matter most. Check the sale date before you write and be clear and respectful.
If you buy and resell, plan for Arizona's seller disclosure rules: they apply to every resale of a home, including a flip.
