Arizona has no real estate transfer tax, and that is worth saying out loud

The Arizona Constitution prohibits the state and its political subdivisions from imposing a tax on the transfer of real property, following the constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2008. Arizona charges a small flat affidavit fee at recording, but there is no percentage-based transfer tax of the kind levied in most states.

This matters more for your website than it might appear. A large share of Arizona buyers relocate from states that do levy a transfer tax, and they arrive expecting the charge. A closing cost calculator that simply omits the line leaves them assuming your estimate is incomplete.

So the right build does not just skip the line — it names the absence. Showing a transfer tax line at zero, with a short note explaining that Arizona does not impose one, turns a confusing omission into a reason to trust your number.

Escrow runs the file, so the site should reflect that

In Arizona the escrow officer conducts the closing and is the person buyers, sellers and agents deal with day to day. Title and escrow are frequently housed together, but the escrow relationship is the one that generates repeat referrals from Realtors.

That argues for putting escrow intake front and center: open an order, upload a contract, get a net sheet, and reach the escrow officer handling the file. Arizona Realtors work at speed in a high-volume market, and the agency that removes a phone call from their day gets the next file.
