Homelessness keeps getting worse in Arizona. Violent crime is spreading. Government isn’t doing enough about it. And law-abiding Arizonans are paying the price.

We need to hold our cities accountable.
Vote YES on Prop 312.

Prop 312 ensures that when government fails to enforce existing laws regarding illegal camping, loitering, pollution, and other nuisances, taxpayers will no longer be forced to foot the bill.

Homelessness is getting worse.
Taxpayers are paying the price.

Do you know about Phoenix’s homeless “Zone”?

It started in 2020, when city leaders set aside a section of downtown as an unofficial open-air shelter. At its worst, 1,000 homeless people lived there, sleeping in tents on the sidewalks. Worse yet, the city of Phoenix instructed the police to stop enforcing laws against drug use, public sex, defecation and urination on public and private property, and even violent crimes occurring within the Zone.

Law-abiding business owners and residents in the area paid the price for the city’s failure to do its job. It’s not just in Phoenix. Tucson residents, too, are confronting the same problems.

Arizona taxpayers have had to install fences, hire security, clean up garbage, human waste, and other hazardous materials themselves. That’s work cities should be doing. Instead, citizens have had to take matters into their own hands and pay for those services out of pocket. All the while, they were also forced to pay city taxes, but didn’t get any of the city services in exchange for their hard-earned dollars.

Prop 312 will hold cities accountable and help keep our neighborhoods safe and secure.

Let’s Hold Government Accountable.
Vote YES on Prop 312.

Hardworking Arizona taxpayers should not be forced to bear the burden of a city’s refusal to do its duty to protect public health and safety. Here’s how Prop 312 solves this problem.

Whenever a municipality fails to enforce existing laws regarding illegal camping, loitering, pollution, and other nuisances, Prop 312:

  • Allows property owners to claim a refund up to the amount of their property tax liability for any expenses incurred, mitigating the effects of the government’s inaction to abate, the homeless crisis.

  • Requires the Department of Revenue to deduct the amount claimed by the taxpayer from the municipality’s state shared revenue.

  • Permits the property owner to roll over any refund exceeding his or her tax obligation for that year, up to 10 years.

When the government fails to do its job, it should return that money to the taxpayers who have been forced to pick up the slack. Vote YES on Prop 312.

“Prop 312 provides much-needed relief and protection to Arizona property owners who are harmed by the government’s failure to do their jobs.”

We can keep our communities safe. But we need your help!
