Arizona Property Classification and Ratios

Arizona’s property tax system classifies property according to its usage. Each class of property is assigned an assessment ratio, ranging from 1% to 21%. The assessment ratios are applied to both primary and secondary values of a property and determine the property’s net assessed value. The same tax rates apply to net assessed value for all property classifications.
