Arizona renters set to pay less with tax elimination in 2025

Renters across Arizona will soon save some extra monthly cash as the state eliminates the Transaction Privilege Tax, which was added to rent payments every month.
The tax rates vary by city. In Phoenix the rate is 2.3%, Mesa is 2%, and Cave Creek is 3%. Some other municipalities are set at 4%.
Local Republicans set out to eliminate the rental tax to help people with the rising costs of living, but some experts worry the tax cut won’t make a long-lasting change for affordability.
