Our team has received several calls about a claim circulating online instructing homeowners born in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s to request a form from our office that significantly reduces their property taxes.

We have reviewed the claim and determined this information to be inaccurate.

There is no evidence that Congress has enacted a nationwide age-based property tax change.

Property tax laws are established at the state and local level, not through a federal program. Any exemptions, freezes, credits, or other forms of property tax relief for homeowners, including seniors, are determined by state law and local regulations, and they vary from state to state.

If you're unsure whether you qualify for any of the Valuation Relief Programs available in Arizona, we're happy to help! Please contact our office or visit our website for accurate information.
