How to calculate property taxes in Arizona
To estimate property taxes in Arizona, multiply the home value by the local property tax rate. This page applies the state average effective owner-occupied rate of 0.48%, so a home valued at $500,000 produces a baseline annual estimate of $2,400.
Arizona has below-average effective rates, with primary and secondary tax rates applied to a limited assessed value.
Actual tax bills can include county, city, school district, property classification, exemption, and assessment rules, so investors should verify the final number with the local assessor before closing.
