About Arizona DOT Military Discounts

Arizona offers a meaningful vehicle-cost benefit for disabled veterans through the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division. Veterans certified by the VA as 100-percent disabled and drawing compensation on that basis are exempt from the state vehicle license tax when they title and register a vehicle. This Arizona military discount is a permanent state program rather than a retail promotion. To use it, bring a VA letter of eligibility, or a DoD privilege card showing 100% Disabled American Veteran affiliation, when applying for title and registration. The exemption also extends to a qualifying veteran's surviving spouse and ends if the spouse remarries. Arizona additionally waives the vehicle license tax for surviving spouses and dependents of U.S. military members who died in the line of duty; that separate exemption requires the state's survivor exemption form and a completed DD Form 1300.

Arizona DOT Military Discount FAQ

Common questions about Arizona DOT military discounts

Yes. Arizona exempts veterans who are VA-certified as 100-percent disabled and drawing compensation from the vehicle license tax when titling and registering a vehicle.

Only veterans certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as 100-percent disabled and drawing compensation on that basis. Lower disability ratings do not qualify for this exemption.

A letter of eligibility from the VA, or a U.S. DoD/Uniformed Services Sponsor Identification and Privilege Card showing 100% Disabled American Veteran affiliation, presented at title and registration.

A qualifying disabled veteran's surviving spouse can continue the exemption until remarriage. Surviving spouses and dependents of members who died in the line of duty may qualify under a separate survivor exemption.

Not under this program - it is specific to 100% VA-disabled veterans. Arizona has separate provisions for military personnel; check ADOT's Military Personnel pages for details.

A partial rating does not qualify. The Arizona DOT vehicle license tax exemption is limited to veterans the VA has certified as totally disabled and who draw compensation on that basis. Veterans with a lower rating, along with active duty, Guard, and Reserve members without qualifying disabled-veteran status, are excluded. Bring your VA letter of eligibility or DoD privilege card when you title and register.

The exemption ends at remarriage. Arizona DOT continues the vehicle license tax waiver for the surviving spouse of a qualifying disabled veteran, but that continuation stops if the spouse remarries. While it remains in effect, the spouse presents the required documentation at title and registration just as the veteran would. Contact the Motor Vehicle Division with questions about your specific situation.

There is a separate exemption. Arizona DOT waives the vehicle license tax for surviving spouses and dependents of service members who died in the line of duty, which is distinct from the disabled veteran exemption on this page. That program requires the state's survivor exemption form plus a completed DD Form casualty report. Ask the Motor Vehicle Division which documents apply to your family.
