This newly created program was passed just months ago by our legislature. Unfortunately the law was written with much ambiguity. Qualifications are still not clear. The Assessors office should have clear guidelines from the state by March 1st. We ask for all Service Connected 100% Disabled to please file applications before the deadline, assuring inclusion. Final details will follow.
Deadline: September 1, 2026
Senior Valuation Protection:
Referred to as the Senior Freeze Program. This program freezes your values (it does not freeze your taxes). Qualifications include age; at least one of the homeowners must be 65 years of age at the time the application is filed. Valid for Primary residents only. Income limits at $47,712 for individual owner and $59,640 two or more owners. Must reside in home for 2 years or longer. Must be an Arizona Resident.
No deadline:
Address Protection Program (AAPP): This program is designed to reduce the potential fraud associated with deed transfers. The AAPP program ensures that the property owner is the only person who may change the ownership mailing address, avoiding ghost transfers. An easy to fill out notarized affidavit must be filed at our office; Notary’s available in our offices for this program. There is a $50 fee for the AAPP program.
All offices below will be taking all above applications.
Please bring your Arizona Drivers License, a Veteran, Service or not Service Connected, requires a disability letter dated within the last 6 months.
We look forward to seeing you.
