As 2022 ends, I thought you might to take a look at some of the highlights at WeSERV Government Affairs. You can read about all 21 of the highlights at www.weservgad.org. Click on Director’s Notes. Here are few:
1 – The Az Dept of Revenue has made several changes suggested by WeSERV and its property manager members. Property managers now have a PMC specific webpage on the ADOR website, a PMC specific email address that is manned by directors of the various departments, and helpful resources like checklists and video tutorials.
2 – City Meetings: WeSERV hosted small group roundtable discussions with various city officials and members.
3 – SR30: In January WeSERV distributed its study analyzing the various build out scenarios for SR-30 and opportunity costs.
4 – Candidate Interviews and Forums: WeSERV chapters hosted candidate interviews in West Valley, Southeast Valley and Sierra Vista. Our Santa Cruz chapter hosted a Nogales candidate forum.
5 – Local Advocacy: WeSERV members engaged directly with city officials on questions of land use ordinances, sign ordinances, definitions of abandoned and housing product.
6 – Arizona REALTORS Caucus: WeSERV members provided several suggestions for corrective legislation and new legislation when they attended the REALTOR Caucus.
7 – GAD Events: Government Affairs hosted several issue driven events in 2022, some with CE approval. The Right to Private Contract, Coffee with Decision Makers, Land Acquisition and Entitlement and the Homestead Act changes, were all events this year.
You may be aware that REALTOR® Day at the Capitol in 2023 has changed to REALTOR® Day at Chase Field. The event is currently full, but AR has a waitlist.
