Tucson / Phoenix Arizona: Do disabled Veterans pay property taxes in Arizona? This is probably one of the most common questions that I get asked when do a VA home loan for a disabled veteran. My answer is that it depends.
Disabled Veterans, Prop 130 and Property Taxes
On November 4, 2022, Arizona voters passed Proposition 130. So what is Prop 130 and how does it benefit disabled Veteran in Arizona? With the passage of Prop 130, Arizona Disabled Veterans that meet certain criteria might get some relief on their property tax bill. To learn more about Prop 130, read here: Prop 130.
After reading, and you think you might qualify, then I suggest you contact your local Arizona County Assessors Office to see if you meet the criteria, how much you will save, and what will be required to apply for the property tax relief. Pinal County information can be located here, for example of what might be needed by your County Assessor. Still call your local office to find out.
