SB 1122 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

property tax exemptions; inflation adjustment

SB 1122 adjusts Arizona's property tax exemptions for widows/widowers, people with total permanent disabilities, and veterans with disabilities to keep pace with inflation. It requires annual increases to the exemption amount ($4,188) and assessment limits ($28,459) based on the GDP price deflator, and starting in 2026, the assessment limit will adjust using the federal house price index. These changes directly affect qualifying Arizona residents whose income (capped at $34,901-$41,870 depending on children) and property value meet the thresholds. The bill ensures these exemptions maintain real value over time without changing eligibility rules or income definitions.
