Arizona Open Range Lands – What You and Your Clients Need to Know

Arizona is an Open Range State. We have laws on the books, 9 total, giving livestock the right of way in particular areas. When people and livestock reside on the same land, and that land is Open Range Land, livestock have rights superior to people and people have responsibilities to the livestock and the livestock owner.

As development moves further away from city centers, more people and businesses live or do business on Open Range Land. Don’t be fooled by a subdivision and city address. Buyers need to perform due diligence and learn more about their responsibilities if they choose to live in Open Range areas.

Sellers need to make accurate disclosure should their property be located on Open Range Land.

To aid WeMAR members in helping their clients learn more about Open Range, the Open Range Task Force completed an Open Range flyer with helpful links, information and resources.
