Arizona · Non-judicial state · A.R.S. §§ 33-801 to 33-821

Arizona gives you 91 days, and one afternoon that decides it.

No lawsuit and no redemption. A trustee records a notice, waits at least 91 days, and sells. But Arizona also lets you reinstate by paying only what is past due, and on most homes the lender cannot come after you for the shortfall. Both turn on 5:00 p.m. on the last business day before the sale.

Anything else true

Two dates decide an Arizona case. The day the notice of sale was recorded, because the sale cannot come sooner than 91 days later. And 5:00 p.m. on the last business day before the sale, when both the right to reinstate and the right to object end.

Regional legal aid programmes take foreclosure cases at no cost if you qualify by income. Start at FloridaLawHelp.org, which routes you to the programme covering your county.

HUD-approved housing counsellors are free everywhere in the state — 1-800-569-4287. Several circuits also run residential foreclosure mediation; ask the clerk whether yours does.

Anyone who contacts you first, guarantees they can stop the sale for a fee paid up front, or asks you to sign the deed over is running a scam. Never sign a deed to someone promising to save your home.

Status of this page

Verified 8 September 2026 against the 2025 Florida Statutes and the Rules of Civil Procedure. That audit corrected ten items, including a dead citation for the deficiency limitation period, the wrong authority for the writ of possession, and a surplus claim deadline repealed in 2019. Statute text was verified; appellate case law was not, and two items — the paragraph 22 defence and current circuit mediation programmes — rest partly on secondary sources and should be confirmed by a Florida attorney before launch.

Questions people ask about Arizona foreclosure

Short answers, each one sourced to the statute cited on this page.

How long does foreclosure take in Arizona?

A typical Arizona foreclosure runs roughly 225 days from the first missed payment to the trustee sale. Federal rules bar the first filing until the loan is more than 120 days delinquent; after the notice of trustee sale is recorded, the sale can be held no sooner than the 91st day. A.R.S. 33-808.

Can I reinstate my mortgage in Arizona?

Yes. Arizona gives a statutory right to reinstate by paying what is actually past due, not the accelerated balance, plus costs and a trustee fee capped at the greater of $600 or one half of one percent of the unpaid principal. The deadline is 5:00 p.m. on the last day other than a Saturday or legal holiday before the sale. A.R.S. 33-813.

Is there a right of redemption after a trustee sale in Arizona?

No. The trustee deed is absolute and without right of redemption. A.R.S. 33-811(E).

Can the lender come after me for the shortfall in Arizona?

Not after a trustee sale of property of two and a half acres or less that is limited to and used as a single one-family or two-family dwelling. For other property, a deficiency suit must be filed within 90 days of the sale and is measured against the higher of fair market value or the sale price. A.R.S. 33-814.

What happens if I wait to challenge an Arizona foreclosure?

You lose the challenge. Anyone mailed the notice of sale waives all defenses and objections unless a court order stopping the sale is entered before 5:00 p.m. on the last business day before it. A.R.S. 33-811(C).

When can an Arizona HOA foreclose?

Only if the owner has been delinquent for eighteen months or owes $10,000 or more, whichever comes first, and only after the board has tried to communicate and offered a reasonable payment plan. The lien is foreclosed like a mortgage, through the courts. A.R.S. 33-1807 and 33-1256.
