The Arizona REALTORS® were successful in protecting Arizona homeowners and businesses during the 2015 Arizona legislature’s budget cuts. Each year, the state rebates up to $600 to individual homeowners to offset their property taxes. When this rebate was threatened, the Arizona REALTORS® successfully saved homeowners millions of dollars by protecting the rebate from state budget cuts.
SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR. What This Victory Means for You… Saves Arizona homeowners over $20.2 million dollars by protecting the homeowners rebate from cuts in the state budget. Arizona REALTORS® successfully fought to defeat the legislation that would end the homeowners rebate. A win for homeowners and a win for RAPAC! Special thanks to Senate President Andy Biggs and Speaker of the House David Gowan for their help in defeating this provision in the budget.
