Statutory Agent for OOS owner in Arizona
Hello BP,
Following closing of my rental properties in Greater Phoenix area (Pinal County), I have received an mail from county assessor demanding out-of-state owner to designate a statutory agent who lives in the state and who will accept legal service on behalf of the owner.
I'm just curious what would be the most cost-effective way to accomplish this new requirement, considered that I'm currently holding the properties as sole proprietary and thus no need for a registered agent? Can I designate anyone (my agent, property manager, or a friend) for that purpose? I would think for anything serious, the county should be reaching out to owner directly...
Thanks!
