Arizona's property tax exemption was established in June 2006 (HB 2429) and originally applied only to solar energy technologies. For property tax assessment purposes, these devices are considered to add no value to the property. HB 2332, signed in July of 2009, expanded the exemption to include other renewable energy technologies, as well as combined heat and power systems, and energy efficient building components. The bill defines renewable energy equipment as "equipment that is used to produce energy primarily for on-site consumption from renewable resources, including wind, forest thinnings, agricultural waste, biogas, biomass, geothermal, and low-impact hydropower." Energy efficient building components are defined as "high performance building components installed so that the buildings or building components meet or exceed the energy efficiencies prescribed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star Program, or by a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design green building rating standard developed by the US Green Building Council, or an equivalent green building standard, or that are at least fifteen percent more efficient than the International Energy Conservation Code in effect at the time of building permit issuance." |
