Arizona Property Tax—Arizona updates publication on Military Reuse Zones.
The Arizona Department of Revenue has updated its property tax publication on the military reuse zones to reflect recent statutory renumbering. The Military Reuse Zone Program was established in 1992 by the Arizona Legislature to mitigate impacts related to the closure of military bases in the state through tax incentives for certain businesses and projects located in a Military Reuse Zone. The publication discusses the classification, valuation and assessment process for property in such zones. (Military Reuse Zones, Ariz. Dept. of Rev., 10/01/2024.)

Arizona Sales & Use Taxes—Arizona explains upcoming residential rental tax changes.
The Arizona Department of Revenue (DOR) is informing property management companies and residential rental property owners of upcoming changes to Arizona tax law for residential rental properties. Starting January 1, 2025, residential rental property owners should no longer collect and remit any city transaction privilege tax (TPT) on the income derived from long term lodging stays of 30 days or more to DOR. Residential rental - business code 045, is the rental of real property for a period of 30 or more consecutive days for residential purposes only and not commercial. Currently, there is no state or county tax imposed on residential rentals, and the upcoming change to the tax law will eliminate the city tax. While there will no longer be a city TPT obligation beginning January 1, 2025, this does not affect the obligations to register the property with the county assessor to comply with landlord tenant laws or other compliance requirements from government entities. The DOR noted that hotel, motel, or other transient lodging businesses which book stays for fewer than 30 days must still collect and remit TPT under the transient lodging or hotel classification.
