Your Two Options
When it comes to where to live in Arizona, you don’t have too many choices. Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona, home to 4.3 million people and more than two-thirds of the state’s population. Tucson has about one million residents, and is also a major metropolitan area. Beyond that, most of Arizona is undeveloped—great for exploring but not good for business.

The good news: There is no franchise tax, also known as a business privilege tax, in Arizona.
