Legislation providing full property tax relief to Arizona’s most severely disabled veterans has been signed into law after receiving near-unanimous bipartisan support in the state legislature.
The new law, House Bill 2792, was sponsored by House Majority Leader Michael Carbone. According to the Arizona House GOP, the bill passed unanimously in the House and received overwhelming bipartisan backing in the Senate. The measure was developed with input from county assessors following questions raised during last year’s tax omnibus legislation.
The law ensures that qualifying veterans who are rated 100 percent service-connected disabled will receive a full property tax exemption on their primary residence, even if it is jointly owned. It also allows a surviving spouse to continue receiving the exemption if they do not remarry, including if they move to another primary residence. The legislation clarifies that income limits apply across the entire section of law and confirms that property tax exemptions may not be combined across categories.
“This bill keeps a simple promise, If a veteran sacrifices their health in service to America, the government should not tax them out of their home. We worked directly with county assessors to ensure the law is clear and properly implemented. Preserving homeownership for those who earned it is central to the House Republican Majority Plan and to preserving the American Dream. This law delivers direct relief, limits government reach, and stands up for veterans and their families,” according to Carbone.
The law takes effect immediately and applies beginning with tax year 2026. Qualifying veterans will see the benefit reflected in their first property tax payments due in October 2026.
Carbone, a Republican, was elected to the Arizona State House in 2023 to represent the state’s 25th House District, replacing previous state representative Michelle Udall.
