Arizona Property Tax Calculator
Estimate your Arizona property taxes. Since 2015, all AZ taxes are levied against the Limited Value (LV). Enter your Limited Value, your property's assessment ratio (varies by class), and your county's tax rate.
The Formula
Annual Tax = Taxable Assessed Value × (Mill Rate ÷ 1,000)
Assessed Value = Market Value × Assessment Ratio (state-specific — see note below)
Mill Rate: 1 mill = $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. Enter your actual rate from your county tax bill.
