Arizona Real Estate Transfer Taxes at Closing Zero Percent

Arizona homebuyers and sellers pay zero percent in real estate transfer taxes at closing. The Arizona Constitution, Article IX, Section 26, enacted by voters as Proposition 100 in 2008, permanently prohibits any state or local tax on the transfer of real property. The only mandatory government fee tied to recording the deed is a $2 affidavit fee under Arizona Revised Statutes § 11-1133. This means no percentage or dollar amount of the sale price is owed as a transfer tax in Arizona. The official source for this statute is the Arizona Legislature’s website. For other closing costs that vary by transaction, the DocketMath calculator provides an estimate based on your specific property details.
