              		   MILITARY REUSE ZONE

Save on property taxes. Reduce State Income Tax Liability! Reduce Construction Sales Tax! 

The Arizona legislature established the Military Reuse Zone (MRZ) Program to lessen the impact of military base closures. The program achieves this goal by providing tax incentives to aviation or aerospace companies, insurers, and airport authorities located within a MRZ. In 2002, the former U. S. Naval Air Facility in Goodyear, now known as Phoenix-Goodyear Airport, was designated as an MRZ. Included in the zone are available buildings for lease, private property for development, and more than 300 acres on the airport for land lease opportunities.

              		   GOVERNMENT PROPERTY LEASE EXCISE TAX

Established as a redevelopment tool to initiate development by reducing a project's operating costs by replacing the real property tax with an excise tax. Under the state statute an excise tax is established for the building type of use and is calculated on the gross square footage of building. The use of the excise tax cannot continue for more than twenty five years and requires that the land and improvements conveyed to a government entity and leased back for private use. The excise tax rate can be abated for the first eight years after a certificate of occupancy on the building is issued if the property is located within a Central Business District and a Redevelopment Area.
