The Senior Freeze Exemption freezes the assessed value, which can be assessed no higher. If the assessment is lower, then the lower amount will apply. However, the Senior Freeze Exemption does NOT freeze the township Tax Rate; therefore, that could effect the amount of your tax bill.
The Senior Property Valuation Protection Option (Senior Freeze) is available to residential homeowners, 65 years of age or older, who meet specific guidelines based on income, ownership, and residency (Arizona Constitution, Article 9, Section 18.)
Residential property falls into two main categories: Legal Class 3 and Legal Class 4. Each of these two legal classes have multiple subclasses, ranging from Primary Residence to Primary Residence that is also leased or rented to lodgers, as well as Non-Primary Residence to Qualifying LIHTC properties.
To claim the Arizona Property Tax Credit all the following must apply: You were a resident of Arizona for all of 2024. You (or your spouse) were either 65 or older or received Title 16 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments during 2024.
By chattel mortgage, personal property is recorded in the Chattel Mortgage Register as a security for the performance of an obligation. If the movable, instead of being recorded, is delivered to the creditor or a third person, the contract is a pledge and not a chattel mortgage.

A pledge involves transferring possession of the property to the lender, who retains it until the debt is repaid. On the other hand, a mortgage entails transferring ownership interest in the property to the lender, while the borrower retains possession and usage rights.
Chattel paper refers to a document used in secured transactions to sell property on credit while retaining some interest in the property.
