Additional Arizona property tax rules to know
- Disabled people, widows or widowers, and veterans with disabilities qualify for individual exemptions only when an affidavit is filed with the County Assessor from the first Monday in January through March 1.
- Under the Additional State Aid for Education Program, owner-occupied residential property receives a rebate covering school district taxes. Primary property taxes above constitutional limits are also paid by this program.
- Qualified taxpayers can defer their property tax for one taxable year under the Residential Property Tax Deferral Program, which carries numerous requirements and limitations.
- Up to $150,000 of home equity is protected from creditors by the separate homestead exemption in Arizona. You get it automatically, and it does not lower your property tax.
