Arizona Property Tax Calculator (2026)

Estimate your 2026 Arizona property tax from limited property value, assessment ratio and primary/secondary rates, with the homeowner rebate and 1% cap.

From your Notice of Value or the assessor's parcel page — not the full cash (market) value
Sum of the primary rates on your bill or the county tax-area rate table
Bonds, voter-approved overrides and special districts (fire, flood, library…)
Owner-occupied Class 3 homes only; it is applied automatically on the bill
For the Class 3 rebate only. Confirm the structure on the county tax-area schedule.
Actual school primary rate before homeowner relief; included within the total primary rate above.

Estimate tax on one ordinary Arizona real-property parcel using its assessed 2026 limited property value (LPV), legal class and county tax-area rates. Class 3 owner-occupied property may receive school-tax relief and the primary-tax cap credit. The calculator now uses each school district’s actual primary rate, because the homeowner rebate can be smaller than its statewide maximum.

How to use this tool

  1. Copy the LPV and legal class from the assessor’s record.
  2. Enter total primary and secondary rates in dollars per $100 of assessed value.
  3. For a Class 3 rebate, identify unified or separate school districts and enter their actual primary rates before relief.
  4. Read annual tax and the monthly budgeting equivalent; follow your actual bill for payment deadlines.

Formula

Tax = assessed value × (primary rate + secondary rate) ÷ 100 − homeowner rebate − primary cap credit

Assessed value is LPV times 10% for Classes 3 and 4, 15.5% for Class 1, or 15% for Class 2 real property. Each eligible school rebate uses half the lesser of its actual primary rate and qualifying rate: $3.0256 unified or $1.5128 per separate elementary/high-school district. Combined rebate is capped at $600. Class 3 primary taxes after rebate are limited to 1% of LPV; secondary taxes remain outside that credit.

Example

For a $300,000 LPV Class 3 home, assessed value is $30,000. With primary rate 7, secondary rate 3 and unified school primary rate 3.0256, gross tax is $3,000. School relief is $30,000 × 1.5128% = $453.84. No additional cap credit is needed, leaving $2,546.16 annually.

Frequently asked questions

Does a rental receive the homeowner credits?

No. Class 4 does not receive the Class 3 school rebate or the owner-occupied primary-tax credit modeled here. Confirm legal classification with the assessor.

Can LPV always increase by only 5%?

The normal continuing-property rule limits growth, but new construction, changes of use and other Rule B circumstances can reset value. This tool uses an existing assessed LPV and does not forecast it.

Which parcels need a separate calculation?

Exemptions, mixed legal classes, partial occupancy, cooperative apartments and personal property require different bases or limits. The current calculation assumes one wholly classified real-property parcel without exemptions. Enter both school rates separately; averaging them can overstate relief.
