Arizona exempts money held in a single account at one financial institution under A.R.S. § 33-1126(A)(9). The base amount set by Proposition 209 is $5,000, and with annual CPI adjustments the figure for 2026 petitions is approximately $5,600.
The exemption applies to one account only, so timing and account consolidation matter before filing. Certain deposits are protected separately regardless of the cap — for example, Social Security benefits and child support you receive are exempt under their own rules.
Because Arizona's adjusted amounts are computed rather than officially published, confirm the current figure with a bankruptcy attorney before your petition date.
This page is general legal information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Exemption figures were verified against official sources in August 2026; inflation-adjusted amounts (including Arizona's Prop 209 figures and county median homestead values) are computed estimates that change annually and should be confirmed by an attorney for your petition date.
