Exemptions

Real and personal property is subject to taxation unless it falls under one of the types of property exempted by the Arizona constitution. These exemptions are covered under A.R.S. º 42-11102. Some examples are: certain widows and widowers, property owned by federal, state, city, and county governments, qualifying religious organizations, qualifying educational facilities, business inventory held for resale, and household goods used for non-commercial purposes. For a complete listing, consult the statute.

If you already have an exemption, and you would like information about how to reapply in order to keep your exemption, see the Renew Exemption page.

We will be mailing out renewal applications in 2025 and we will ask for you to verify your eligibility at that time. We realize there will be a transition period for everyone involved with this change but going to a three-year cycle will save the public and our office the cost of processing and mailing the paperwork in the off years.
