Pinal County Assessor: Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

The exemption is the State's, under ARS 42-11111; the Arizona entry gives the tax year 2026 text and the changes House Bill 4168 makes from tax year 2027. The Pinal County Assessor decides claims in the county. Applying. The Assessor takes claims from the first Monday in January through the last day of February. A first claim must be made in person, at the main office in Florence (31 N. Pinal Street, Building E; 520-866-6361) or the branch offices in Apache Junction, Casa Grande, Maricopa and San Tan Valley; call or email if you cannot come in. Later filings can be made by mail with a notarized form. Bring a copy of the VA disability letter, the 2025 Arizona income tax return, the prior year's tax bill or valuation card for every property you own in Arizona, plate numbers for every vehicle with its title or tax bill, and an Arizona driver licence or ID. The 2026 figures. The Assessor's page lists two income limits, $39,865, or $47,826 with a child under 18 at home, counting income from all sources except Social Security. ARS 42-11111(J) also leaves out railroad retirement, veterans pensions, workers' compensation and public assistance, and VA disability compensation is not part of adjusted gross income in the first place. The Assessor's general exemptions page gives the partial amount for 2026 as $4,873 of assessed value; for a veteran rated below 100%, or with a nonservice-connected rating, the statute multiplies it by the rating. Where the page is narrower than the statute. It lists as a qualification that "Total Net Assessed valuation in Arizona cannot exceed $36,454". That cap is the indexed limit in subsection E, which governs only the exemption for widows, widowers and persons with a total and permanent disability. Subsections C and D, which give the veterans' exemptions, set no value limit, so a veteran whose Arizona property is assessed above $36,454 is not barred and should cite them. The page also calls the benefit "a limited property tax exemption" and never says that subsection C fully exempts the primary residence of a veteran with a 100% service-connected rating. The 2026 deadline. ARS 42-11153(A) runs the filing window to March 1, a day past the end of February the Assessor prints, and subsection (B) lets a person who missed it ask the Board of Supervisors to redeem the waiver. Renewal. The Assessor has moved to a three-year cycle: claimants are not asked to reapply every year, but must check each year that their income still qualifies and report anything that disqualifies them, and the office mails a renewal application when verification is due. From tax year 2027. The page does not yet say that House Bill 4168 ends the income test for veterans and surviving spouses, adds individual unemployability to the full exemption, and lets a surviving spouse claim on the spouse's own home. Ask the Assessor how it will apply the new text to 2027 claims.
