What the payment actually costs

Expect roughly $2,480 a year in property tax on a $400,000 home here. Arizona's effective rate of 0.62% ranks 40th of 51, compared with about 1.10% nationally — $207 a month that never appears in a quoted mortgage payment.

Homeowners insurance runs about $1,380 a year in Arizona, 31st of 51 states and below the $1,552 national average. Together, tax and insurance add roughly $322 a month to the payment before you have paid a dollar of principal.

How this fits the rest of your tax bill

The trade-off runs the other way here. Arizona property tax is low at 0.62% — 40th of 51 — but the state does tax income. Owners get off comparatively lightly; the cost shows up on the pay stub instead, which favours buyers with modest incomes and large homes over high earners in small ones.

Property tax rates are effective statewide averages; your county assessor sets the actual figure and it varies widely within a state. See our methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the average property tax rate in Arizona?
Arizona's effective property tax rate is approximately 0.62% of home value per year. On a $423,000 home, that's about $2,623 per year (or $219/month). The calculator above uses this as the default — adjust if your specific county is higher or lower.
What's a typical homeowners insurance cost in Arizona?
The average annual homeowners insurance premium in Arizona is around $1,380 for a typical home. High-risk states (Florida, Louisiana, Texas) tend to be higher due to hurricane/flood/wildfire exposure; low-cost states (Oregon, Hawaii, DC) sit at $1,000 or less.
How much do I need to put down on a Arizona mortgage?
Conventional loans typically require 5-20% down. FHA allows just 3.5% down with a 580+ credit score. VA loans (military) allow 0% down. Putting 20%+ avoids PMI entirely on conventional loans, saving you 0.5-1% of the loan amount per year.
What credit score do I need to buy a home in Arizona?
Conventional: 620 minimum (740+ for best rates). FHA: 580 with 3.5% down, or 500 with 10% down. VA: most lenders want 620 even though VA itself has no minimum. Higher credit = lower rate = thousands in savings over the life of the loan.
Should I rent or buy in this market?
Generally buying makes sense if you plan to stay 5+ years and your monthly payment (including taxes, insurance, maintenance) is within ~30% of your gross income. Use the calculator above to see your real monthly cost — many buyers underestimate the non-mortgage costs by 30-40%.
