History

A.R.S. § 42-17401, enacted in 2006, established the Fund by the board of supervisors in a county with a population of more than two million persons. The fund is administered by the county treasurer. Statute provides that any appropriation to the Fund must be spent solely on the elderly assistance program. The county treasurer must determine the total amount of monies in the Fund and the total number of qualified individuals who live in the county. The county treasurer must use the monies to proportionately reduce the primary school district taxes that are levied against the property of all qualified individuals in the county for the following tax year. A qualified individual means an individual who lives in an organized school district and who is approved for the property valuation protection option.   

Prior to 2015, the Fund received revenues from a portion of the interest on delinquent property tax lien sales. Laws 2015, Chapter 324 (HB 2653) eliminated this source of revenues to the Fund.
