Arizona Property Tax Exemption, Senior, Veteran & Disabled

About This Program

Arizona provides property tax exemptions to qualifying widows, widowers, persons with total and permanent disabilities, and veterans with service-connected disabilities. Veterans with 100% service-connected disability may have their primary residence fully exempted from property taxes. Income must be below $39,865/year (households without minor children) or $47,826 (with disabled or minor children), excluding Social Security and veteran benefits. A 2026 law change expanded eligibility by excluding veteran pension and disability payments from income calculations.

For partial exemptions, the $4,873 reduction applies to Assessed Limited Property Value, reducing your tax bill by approximately $50-$100 depending on tax rates. 100% SC-disabled veterans receive full exemption.
