Free Arizona Flood Irrigation Home Buyer's Guide

Evaluate it like a specialist — before you fall in love with the wrong one.

Everything you need to evaluate a flood irrigated property like a specialist. This free guide covers all six critical evaluation areas: water rights and district verification, delivery schedules and costs, property grading and infrastructure, disclosure documents, neighborhood history, and Zone 9b growing potential.

• ✓How to verify water rights & the district — confirming the irrigation account is active, in good standing, and that water shares transfer at closing.
• ✓The delivery schedule & approximate water costs — summer vs. winter cadence, the annual ditch dry-up, and how districts bill.
• ✓Grading, berms & infrastructure — valves, gates, ports, standboxes, and the neighborhood cost-sharing questions to ask.
• ✓The red flags & disclosure checks — erosion and foundation signs, plus the SPDS and CLUE reports to review before you offer.
