Arizona passes bipartisan budget with data center tax incentive moratorium and local tax relief
By
Isabela Gamez
Summary
Arizona has approved a bipartisan budget that prioritizes local tax relief and includes a historic three-year moratorium on new data center tax incentives. While construction of new data facilities is still permitted, they will no longer qualify for the state's lucrative sales tax exemptions during this period. The budget reflects a compromise between parties focused on fiscal responsibility and economic policy adjustments.
