Arizona has a relatively low effective property tax rate of 0.51%, ranking 44th nationally. The state's warm climate and growing population have pushed home values significantly higher in Phoenix and Tucson metro areas, though the tax rate itself remains competitive.
Arizona assesses residential property at 10% of full cash value. The limited property value (LPV) system caps annual assessment increases at 5%, protecting homeowners from sudden spikes following market appreciation.
| Home Value | Estimated Annual Tax | Monthly (Escrow) |
|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $1,275 | $106/mo |
| $368,500 (median) | $1,879 | $156/mo |
| $600,000 | $3,060 | $255/mo |
Arizona's Widow/Widower, Disabled, and Senior Citizen Property Valuation Protection Program freezes assessed values for qualifying seniors with income under $36,077 (single) or $45,096 (married). There is also a $3,000 exemption for widows, widowers, and disabled persons.
Arizona property taxes are paid in two installments: October 1 (first half) and March 1 (second half). The deadline for the first half is November 1; second half is May 1.
Maricopa County (Phoenix) and Pima County (Tucson) have the highest rates in the state due to urban service costs, while rural counties tend to be significantly lower.
