New Property Tax Relief for Disabled Veterans (HB2672)
Arizona House Bill 2672 expands property tax exemptions for 100% disabled veterans and qualifying surviving spouses. Eligible homeowners may receive a full exemption on their primary residence, with disability payments and pensions excluded from income limits. To apply, file an Affidavit of Individual Tax Exemption with your county assessor’s office each year. Applications for the 2026 tax year must be submitted between January 2 and March 1, 2026 (or by September 1 with a waiver). Contact your local county assessor for the form and eligibility details.

Your donation dollars at work! This picture is from August 19th in Northern Arizona. AES volunteers are the boots on the ground delivering water throughout Arizona. Please consider volunteering or donating today. We live in the desert. It's all about the water!
Water during the birthing season keep the mothers healthy and helps the mothers produce better quality milk and more of it for the newborns.
Water helps distribute the Elk herds and other wildlife for better utilization of the available forage. Insufficient water distribution causes wildlife to gather in specific areas, leading to excessive habitat use. This overutilization results in habitat degradation and a depletion of available food resources.
There are many areas with great habitat for wildlife but no water to sustain them. If we could increase water in areas of quality wildlife habitat and forage we can sustain more wildlife. Higher herd numbers equals more tags for hunters.
It doesn't get much prettier than this! Our water haulers have been busy keeping the catchments filled. OVER 225,000 gallons so far this year. How can you help?
Do you believe in leaving a long-lasting outdoor legacy for future generations?
