Arizona’s Unique Property Tax Calculus

The reality is that Arizona’s tax law is dizzyingly complex, and there are facts that surprise nearly every property owner to learn, including:

• Did you know that the value of Arizona real property for tax purposes is set in the year prior to the tax year?
• Did you know that the full cash value, which is the market value, does not determine the tax, but the taxable value is the limited property value?
• Did you know that the limited property value is set by a formula (called either Rule A or Rule B) and the limited property value is not applicable?

However, while the implications of these detailed tax rules can elude most people, it does not elude the team at Nearhood Law Offices. We can and will provide you with information and guidance in even the most complex of areas.

Rule B Analysis and Consultation

The limited property value is determined each year by a mathematical formula, commonly referred to as either Rule A or Rule B. Under certain circumstances, the application of Rule B can have a catastrophic effect upon the tax assessment. Mr. Nearhood often consults with property owners, buyers, brokers and lenders in an effort to evaluate, predict, and perhaps minimize the adverse effects of a Rule B adjustment to the limited property value.
