Accepted Answer

The small claims court limit in Arizona is $5,000, exclusive of interest and costs, applying to civil claims for debt, damage, tort, injury, or the value of personal property, as well as actions to rescind a contract or seek equitable relief where the amount at issue does not exceed that figure .

The small claims division cannot hear certain case types, including eviction-related actions (forcible entry, forcible detainer, or unlawful detainer), defamation claims, class actions, requests for injunctive relief, and actions against the state or its officers in their official capacity .
