Arizona voters will decide on a ballot measure that would allow property owners to request property tax refunds if their city or locality does not enforce public nuisance laws. The measure will be placed on the Nov. 2024 ballot.
Public nuisance laws are defined by the ballot measure to include illegal camping, loitering, obstructing public thoroughfares, panhandling, public urination or defecation, public consumption of alcoholic beverages, and possession or use of illegal substances.
Under this measure, the amount of the refund would be equal to the documented expenses to mitigate the effects of the public nuisance on the owner’s property.
