Arizona

Exemption on a portion of the assessed value of the primary residence, amount adjusted annually for inflation. Higher exemption tiers apply at 100 percent permanent and total rating.

Arizona does not tax VA disability compensation, and military retirement pay is fully exempt from Arizona income tax (full exemption since the 2021 tax year).

Arizona exempts one personally owned vehicle's license tax and registration fees for veterans rated 100% service-connected (and any vehicle bought with VA financial aid); the exemption continues for an unremarried surviving spouse.

Arizona adds 5 points to a veteran's state employment score (with 6+ months of service) and 10 points for veterans receiving VA benefits, with preference for disabled veterans and eligible spouses.

Under 38 USC 3679(c) (originally Section 702 of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act), every public college that accepts Post-9/11 GI Bill or Montgomery GI Bill students must charge in state tuition to covered students using their GI Bill, regardless of state residency. The old requirement to enroll within 3 years of separation was removed by the Isakson and Roe Act effective August 1, 2021, so there is no longer a time limit after discharge. State specific extensions to this rule are noted below where applicable. Arizona also classifies any honorably discharged veteran as a resident for tuition purposes immediately upon establishing Arizona domicile, with no waiting period.

Arizona waives tuition at public universities and community colleges for Purple Heart recipients, veterans rated 100% disabled, and the surviving dependents of those killed in the line of duty; veterans and dependents also qualify for in-state tuition.

Free Arizona resident hunting and fishing combined license. Veterans rated under 100 percent may qualify for reduced fee licenses.

Free day use admission to all Arizona State Parks. Camping and other amenities still charged.

Arizona State Parks issues a free day-use pass to veterans rated 100% service-connected (bring VA proof to a park visitor center) and gives veterans with a lower service-connected rating 50% off day-use entry. The benefit covers day entry only - not camping, reservations, special events, or cave/mansion tours.

Arizona runs three state veterans cemeteries (Camp Navajo, Sierra Vista, and Marana) with a free burial plot and headstone for eligible veterans (reduced cost for spouses and dependents).
