Ariz. Admin. Code § R2-17-105 - Filing and Service of Pleadings, Motions, or Other Documents

A. Within the time limits for filing, a party shall file the original and 1 copy of all pleadings, motions, or other documents with the Clerk and serve a copy on each party and the administrative law judge, if the Board has delegated hearing powers and duties to the Office of Administrative Hearings.

B. A party shall serve documents other than subpoenas by personal service or by regular mail. A party is considered served at the time of personal service of the document or upon deposit of the document in the United States mail, postage prepaid, in a sealed envelope, addressed to the party being served, at the party's last address of record with the Department of Environmental Quality or the Board. If there is a discrepancy between the records of these agencies, the party serving the document shall use the last address of record with the Board. Each party shall inform the Board of any change of address within 5 days of the change.

C. A party shall demonstrate proof of service by filing with the Clerk a written statement, signed by the party, indicating that service was made in person or by mail. The statement shall be attached to the pleading, motion, or other document being filed.

D. After receiving the Notice of Appeal or an Answer of a party, or when the Board finds that the interest of justice so requires, the Board may order any party to publish an appropriate notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community or communities that may be adversely affected if the appellant is granted the relief requested in the appellant's Notice of Appeal. The party shall publish the notice in the manner prescribed by the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, unless the Board determines that another method of publication is more appropriate.
