What types of property are subject to property taxes?

In Arizona, all types of real property are subject to property taxes. This includes land, buildings, and anything else that is permanently attached to the land (such as permanent fencing or permanent landscaping). Property tax is also due on personal property that is used for business purposes, like tools or office furniture. Property that is owned by a government entity, such as a school or a state university, is exempt from property taxes in Arizona. This means that it does not have to pay taxes on the land or any buildings. Property owned by qualified religious, charitable, or educational organizations may also be exempt from property taxes. Mobile homes that are either owned or leased, as well as manufactured homes or modular housing that is attached to a permanent foundation, are also subject to property taxes in Arizona. Aircraft, boats, and other vehicles are not subject to property taxes in Arizona, though they may be subject to excise taxes. In Arizona, property taxes are typically paid by the property owner, calculated based on the value of the property. The taxes are collected by the county assessor and the funds are used to pay for public services in the area.
