Arizona taxes owner-occupied primary residences at a 10% assessment ratio (vs. 18% for other property types), and your home will be reassessed at purchase price when you buy; the Limited Property Value limits annual increases to the lesser of 5% or CPI thereafter. The Maricopa County Assessor administers the Senior Valuation Protection program (age 65+, 10+ years residence) — apply at the assessor's office with proof of age and residency within 60 days of purchase. File for your owner-occupancy classification immediately upon closing to ensure the 10% rate applies to your first tax bill.
