This Guide answers the most common questions about Financial Disclosure
Statements in Arizona. Who is required to file a Financial Disclosure

Common Questions and Answers
1. Who must file a Financial Disclosure Statement?
If at any time during the past calendar year you held one of the positions listed below (even for a day),
you must file a Financial Disclosure Statement with the Secretary of State:
a statewide officer, whether elected or appointed
1
a member of the Arizona legislature, whether elected or appointed
2
a justice or judge of the Arizona Supreme Court, Arizona Court of Appeals or superior court,
whether elected or appointed
3
a full-time judge pro tempore, commissioner, or juvenile hearing officer serving the appellate
courts or the superior court
4
The filing requirement applies even if you resigned, retired, or left office for any reason during the
previous year. You are still obligated to file a Financial Disclosure Statement that covers the entire calendar
year.
The filing requirement equally applies to those who “qualified” as a public officer during the past
calendar year as well, which encompasses newly-elected and newly-appointed officials.
5
In other words, public
officers who were elected or appointed in the previous calendar year, but have not yet taken office in the
current year, are still obligated to file a Financial Disclosure Statement.
Finally, if you are a candidate for a statewide or legislative office, you must also file a Financial
Disclosure Statement with the Secretary of State at the same time your nomination paper is filed in late May or
early June of your election year.
6
Filing a candidate-related Financial Disclosure Statement does not obviate the
need to also file an annual Financial Disclosure Statement in accordance with the deadlines outlined below.
2. Do local public officers and candidates have to file Financial Disclosure
Statements?
Yes, but local Financial Disclosure Statement forms are tailored to local needs. State law requires
counties and incorporated cities and towns to adopt their own standards for Financial Disclosure Statements.
7
Check with the clerk or the filing office where candidates file nomination papers in your jurisdiction for more
information.

3. When do I have to file my Annual Financial Disclosure Statement?
Public Officers. If you were a public officer at any time during a calendar year, you must file an
annual Financial Disclosure Statement between January 1st and January 31st of the following calendar year.
A public officer whose final term expires less than 31 days into the immediately following calendar
year may file their final Financial Disclosure Statement between January 1st and January 31st of the year in
which they leave office.
8
In other words, for those public officers whose final term will end in January, your
annual Financial Disclosure Statement should cover the entire previous calendar year and include any financial
activity from January 1st of the current year through the date you officially leave office. This allows departing
public officers to take care of all remaining reporting obligations at once.
Newly-Appointed Public Officers. If you are newly appointed (whether as a judicial official or to fill a
vacancy in a statewide or a legislative office), you must file a Financial Disclosure Statement within 60 days of
the date you take office.
9
That Financial Disclosure Statement should cover the previous consecutive 12-month
period, ending with the last full month prior to the date of taking office.
Annual Financial Disclosure Statements still must be filed as well. If a public officer was appointed in
January, he or she need only file one Financial Disclosure Statement because both the previous 12-month and
annual reporting obligations will be satisfied. Otherwise, a public officer must file an annual Financial
Disclosure Statement in January even if he or she recently filed a Financial Disclosure Statement upon
appointment late in the previous calendar year.
Candidates for Public Office and Superior Court. If you are a candidate for a statewide or legislative
office, or for a judgeship on the Superior Court in a county where judges are elected, you must file a Financial
Disclosure Statement at the same time you file your nomination paper.
10
This candidate-related Financial
Disclosure Statement covers the 12 months prior to the date that a candidate files a nomination paper.
11
If you are applying for merit selection to the Superior Court, you do not need to file a Financial
Disclosure Statement.
4. Do lobbyist gifts have to be reported?
Gifts (as defined in A.R.S. § 38-541(5)) must be reported in a Financial Disclosure Statement even if they
were provided by a lobbyist who properly reported those gifts in lobbyist reports.
5. Where do I get a Financial Disclosure Statement?
State Public Officers. State public officers may request a Financial Disclosure Statement from the
Secretary of State’s office or download the form at http://go.azsos.gov/financialdisclosure.
Statewide and Legislative Candidates for Public Office. Statewide and legislative candidates for

public office are required to submit their Financial Disclosure Statement via the Secretary of State’s Candidate
Portal, available at: http://go.azsos.gov/candidateportal.
Local Public Officers and Candidates. Local public officers and candidates should contact the
appropriate clerk or election filing office for information on obtaining a local Financial Disclosure Statement.
The forms provided by the Secretary of State may not necessarily be acceptable to those filing offices.
6. What laws govern Financial Disclosure Statements?
Arizona Revised Statutes § 18-444, § 38-541, and §§ 38-543 to 38-545 govern Financial Disclosure
Statements for public officers.
The Arizona Code of Judicial Conduct, Rule 3.15, Arizona Code of Judicial Administration, § 1-307, and
Arizona Supreme Court Administrative Order 2012-93 further govern Financial Disclosure Statements by
Arizona justices, judges and full-time judge pro tems, commissioners, and juvenile hearing officers.
Counties, cities and towns may have additional ordinances, rules, resolutions or regulations that govern
the filing of Financial Disclosure Statements by their public officers and candidates.
7. What is the penalty for failing to file a Financial Disclosure Statement?
Upon referral by the Secretary of State, the Attorney General enforces the filing requirement against
public officers who fail to file by the deadline.
12
Enforcement may include a civil penalty of $50 for each day
the Statement is late (up to $500) until it is filed.
13
In addition, any public officer or candidate found to have
knowingly filed an incomplete or a false Financial Disclosure Statement may be found guilty of a class 1
misdemeanor.
14
Please note, the Secretary of State’s office may refuse to accept a nomination paper from a candidate
who fails to file a candidate-related Financial Disclosure Statement.
15
If you are a candidate in a county, city or
town that requires Financial Disclosure Statements, your filing officer may likewise refuse to accept your
nomination packet.
8. Where do I file my Financial Disclosure Statement?
If you are a state public officer discussed in Question 1 above, you must electronically file your annual
Financial Disclosure Statement by emailing it to financial.disclosure@azsos.gov. The form must be submitted in
PDF format. If you require more space for any particular disclosure item, please attach the information as an
appendix to the document you submit. Wet or notarized signatures are no longer necessary, and either a
typewritten or electronically-generated signature will be accepted.
16
Since recent statutory changes may have
affected the content of the form, please ensure you file the most current form in existence.
If you are a local public officer, please contact your clerk or election office for information on where to
file.

public officer, whether the public officer's spouse is
a member of the public officer's household, the
number of minor children who are members of the
public officer's household and all names and

requirement by using the term “spouse” or “minor
child”, as applicable.
2. The name and address of each employer and of
each other source of compensation other than gifts
amounting to more than one thousand dollars
received during the preceding calendar year by the

his household, a description of the services for
which the compensation was received and the

3. For a controlled business, a description of the
goods or services provided by the business, and if
any single source of compensation to the business
during the preceding calendar year amounts to
more than ten thousand dollars and is more than
twenty-five percent of the gross income of the
business, the disclosure shall also include a
description of the goods or services provided to the
source of compensation. For a dependent business
the statement shall disclose a description of the
goods or services provided by the business and a
description of the goods or services provided to the
source of compensation from which the dependent
business derived the amount of gross income
described in § 38-541, paragraph 4. If the source of

recreational use of the public officer. If a public
officer, any member of his household or a

ten thousand dollars which was also more than

Department of State, Office of the Secretary of State
Election Services Division
Arizona Code of Judicial Conduct
Rule 3.15. Financial Reporting Requirements
(A) A judge shall file annually the financial disclosure statement required by A.R.S. § 38-542 or other applicable
law. The completion and filing of the annual financial disclosure statement fulfills the reporting requirements
set forth in this code.
(B) Reports made in compliance with this rule shall be filed as public documents in the office designated by
law.
COMMENT
1. The information required to be reported by Rules 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14 is a portion of the information that
must be included on the annual financial disclosure statement mandated by A.R.S. § 38-542 or other applicable
law. A judge is obligated to disclose fully and accurately all information requested on the annual disclosure
statement and does not fulfill the statutory obligation by reporting only the information required by Rules
3.12, 3.13, and 3.14. Applicable law requires sufficient disclosure of the financial interests of and gifts to a judge
and members of his or her household to promote judicial accountability and integrity.
2. To avoid needless repetition of disclosure requirements, the Arizona judiciary deems compliance with the
substantive legal requirement as sufficient to meet the ethical obligations of a judge and thus incorporates them
in this code.
3. Reimbursement of expenses from a judge's employer need not be reported under Rule 3.14(C) or Rule 3.15.

What to disclose: The name of the donor who gave you or a member of your household a single gift or an accumulation of gifts during the preceding

(reciprocal value) and not provided to members of the public at large (in other words, a personal benefit you or your household member received

Gifts received by will;
Gift received by intestate succession (in other words, gifts distributed to you or a household member according to Arizona’s intestate succession
