Phoenix — Ch. 50 Human Relations § 50-147
Notice of intent to sell or rent residential property
Operative Text
All owners, agents, brokers, or any individual or legal entity having ownership or control of any residential property which is offered for sale or rental within the village shall notify the chief building inspector within five days after the first real estate listing agreement is entered into, and or public notification of the intent to sell or rent is made, whichever shall occur first.
Phoenix Ch. 50 § 50-147 requires that anyone with ownership or control of a residential property—including owners, agents, and brokers—must notify the chief building inspector within five days of the earliest of two triggering events: entering into a real estate listing agreement or making a public announcement of intent to sell or rent. This rule applies to any residential property offered for sale or rental within the jurisdiction. The provision establishes a prompt disclosure obligation tied to the very beginning of the marketing process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Phoenix Ch. 50 § 50-147, compliant property owners and their agents or brokers generally track the date of the first listing agreement or any public marketing notice—whichever comes first—and submit the required notification to the chief building inspector within that five-day window. This applies whether the property is being listed for sale or for rental. Operators who work through brokers or agents typically confirm that the notification responsibility is clearly assigned so the deadline is not missed.

Phoenix Ch. 50 § 50-147 establishes a public-interest notice requirement that applies at the earliest stage of a property being put on the market for sale or rent. If a tenant believes this notification was not made as required, they may consider contacting the city's building inspection office to inquire about compliance or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on what remedies or complaint processes may be available.
