Bankruptcy Exemption in Arizona

Under Arizona’s homestead exemption, the amount of equity protected in a primary residence is tied to a formula based on the property’s value and the number of owners. The governing law, A.R.S. § 33-1101, sets out how the exemption is calculated, including a specific percentage factor. The official statute provides the exact method, and a calculator can apply the rule using the verified 10% figure. The worked example below illustrates the computation using that percentage, but the statute itself contains all necessary details. To estimate the exemption amount for a particular property, use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the statutory formula directly.
