HB 2672 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

property tax; exemption; veterans; disabilities

HB 2672 modifies Arizona's property tax exemption rules to expand eligibility for veterans with disabilities, widows/widowers, and individuals with total permanent disabilities. It provides full property tax exemption for veterans with a 100% service-connected disability rating, while others with disabilities receive a partial exemption capped at $4,188 (adjusted annually for inflation), reduced by their disability percentage. To qualify, applicants must meet income limits ($34,901 or $41,870 depending on dependents) and file annual affidavits with county assessors. The bill also clarifies that unused exemption amounts can apply to personal property taxes and prohibits double exemptions across categories.

MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from an introduced version to a house engrossed version, adding new provisions for loss of time insurance and gifts as excluded income sources, clarifying annual income recalculation requirements, and adding definitions for 'competent medical authority' and 'GDP price deflator'. The substantive policy content regarding property tax exemptions for veterans, widows, widowers, and persons with disabilities remains largely unchanged, though the formatting and numbering of subsections were reorganized during the legislative process.
REQUIREMENT

Added requirement for individuals to annually calculate income from the preceding year to ensure continued eligibility for property tax exemptions and notify the county assessor in writing of any disqualifying events.

DEFINITION

Added new definitions for 'competent medical authority' (licensed medical professionals, nurse practitioners, or VA disability award letters) and 'GDP price deflator' (average of four implicit price deflators for gross domestic product).

ELIGIBILITY

Added 'Loss of time insurance' and 'Gifts from nongovernmental sources, surplus foods or other relief in kind supplied by a governmental agency' to the list of monies not included in income from all sources when determining exemption eligibility.

TECHNICAL

Reorganized subsection numbering and formatting from the introduced version to the house engrossed version, including changes in section headers and line numbering, while maintaining the same substantive policy provisions.
