State guide
Arizona
Arizona is also EPA-administered for lead-based paint activities, so EPA handles certification of inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement firms rather than a state licensing program. Arizona's Department of Health Services focuses on childhood lead poisoning surveillance and screening, while some cities run grant-funded lead hazard reduction programs.

- State lead program
- EPA administers Arizona's lead-based paint activities program, while ADHS runs statewide lead poisoning surveillance and education.
- Rental lead-safe requirements
- I did not find an official Arizona statewide rental lead-safe certificate, lead-safe registration, or mandatory rental lead inspection ordinance page; the Phoenix and Tucson pages I found are assistance programs rather than rental licensing ordinances.

- Disclosure
- I did not find an Arizona-specific rental lead disclosure rule beyond the federal pre-1978 disclosure requirement on the official pages reviewed.
