HB2492

Urban growth boundaries; prohibition

Introduced·1/20/26

Arizona HB2492 prohibits urban growth boundaries that limit new urban or suburban development and public services.

Arizona HB2492 amends the Arizona Revised Statutes to prohibit any law, rule, ordinance, or contract that establishes urban growth boundaries. These boundaries would prevent new urban or suburban development, restrain trade or commerce, or restrict the extension of public services. The bill emphasizes that any policies that establish such boundaries are void. The legislation aims to uphold the voter-protected prohibition on urban growth boundaries, ensuring Arizona remains affordable for living and working.
