Arizona VA Loans

With the average listing price of a home in Arizona landing at $405,983, the VA loan’s signature $0-money-down benefit is a considerable advantage for Arizona homebuyers.

How to get a VA Loan in Arizona

VA loans are made by private lenders and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Because private lenders make the loans and not the VA, you need to find a lender licensed in the state you plan to purchase or refinance.

For example, if you're purchasing a home in Tucson, AZ, you'll need to find a lender licensed in Arizona to do the loan.

Other Considerations for Getting a VA Loan in Arizona

VA borrowers in Arizona should also consider the cost and impact of VA loan limits and property taxes when making their home purchase.

VA borrowers in Arizona with their full VA loan entitlement are not restricted by VA loan limits. This means you can borrow as much as a lender is willing to lend without needing a down payment.

As of January 1, 2025, VA loan limits for all counties in Arizona are $806,500.

Property Taxes in Arizona

Another consideration for VA buyers in Arizona is property taxes. For certain VA buyers, there are exemptions.
