Arizona Bankruptcy Exemptions
What household items can I keep in an Arizona bankruptcy?
Free Consultation: (855) 603-3300Arizona lets you keep the things that make a home. A.R.S. § 33-1123 exempts household furniture, furnishings, and appliances up to a base amount of $15,000 — approximately $16,500 for 2026 filings after CPI adjustments.
On top of that, separate exemptions cover apparel ($500), musical instruments ($400), engagement and wedding rings ($2,000), a library ($250), a watch ($250), a computer, bicycle, sewing machine, bible and burial lot ($2,000 aggregate), firearms ($2,000), prescribed prostheses and wheelchairs (unlimited), and household pets (unlimited).
Exemption values are measured at garage-sale prices, not what you paid, so nearly all Arizona filers keep everything in their home.
