Under Arizona law, burglary is categorized by the type of structure entered by the defendant.
When a defendant enters or remains unlawfully in a non-residential structure or in a fenced commercial or residential yard with the intent to either commit any theft or a felony is classified as burglary in the third degree and considered a Class 4 Felony.
When a defendant enters or remains unlawfully in a residential structure with the intent to commit any theft or felony is classified as burglary in the second degree and considered a Class 3 Felony.
Burglary happens in the first degree as a Class 2 Felony when a defendant commits burglary of a residential structure while he or an accomplice is in possession of a deadly weapon, a dangerous instrument or explosives.
