personal property exemption; increase

SB 1069 increases Arizona's personal property tax exemption limit for agricultural and business property owners. It raises the maximum exempt value from $207,366 to $500,000 per taxpayer for qualifying property used in farming or trade/business. The exemption amount will automatically adjust each year based on changes in Arizona's private industry wage inflation index. This bill directly affects taxpayers owning eligible property, reducing their property tax burden starting in 2026. The change applies to class one and class two property as defined in Arizona tax law.
