Arizona Senate Republicans Advance Property Tax Relief for Disabled Veterans
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, March 10, 2026
PHOENIX, ARIZONA—Arizona Senate Republicans are taking action to support disabled veterans by advancing legislation that expands property tax relief, reflecting a broader Republican commitment to honoring service and helping veterans maintain financial stability.
SB 1365, sponsored by Senator David Gowan, expands Arizona's property tax exemption for veterans with service-connected or non-service-connected disabilities. Under current law, disabled veterans must stay below a household income cap of $39,865 or $47,826 to qualify for the exemption. This legislation removes the income limit for disabled veterans, acknowledging that disability compensation, retirement income, or a working spouse should not disqualify them from benefits earned through their service. Veterans will still need to establish eligibility with their county assessor, but they will no longer risk losing the exemption simply because their household income slightly exceeds an arbitrary threshold.
"Our brave disabled veterans fulfilled their commitments to this country, making tremendous sacrifices along the way," said Senator Gowan. "They shouldn't have to re-qualify every year or worry that earning a little more, receiving a raise, or having a working spouse will jeopardize the property tax relief they were promised. This bill is about respect, stability, and common sense. It ensures that if you are a disabled veteran, Arizona will honor your service without putting you through unnecessary hoops. This is not charity; it's gratitude backed by action. Republicans are proud to support our veterans, keep our promises, and ensure that government serves those who earned these benefits rather than working against them."
