Arizona: total loss threshold and rebuilt title rules
What Arizona’s own pages print, word for word. Kind of rule, by our sorting: Wording, no sum to do.
This is a reference to quoted official text, not legal, tax, insurance or professional advice. Rules change; confirm with the agency before acting.
Total Loss Threshold is an independent reference. It is not a government site and is not affiliated with any state agency, legislature or insurance company.
When is a vehicle salvage or a total loss in Arizona, in the state’s words?
“"Salvage vehicle" means a vehicle, other than a nonrepairable vehicle, of a type that is subject to the issuance of a certificate of title and registration pursuant to this chapter and that has been stolen, wrecked, destroyed, flood or water damaged or otherwise damaged to the extent that the owner, leasing company, financial institution or insurance company considers it uneconomical to repair the vehicle.”
Citation as the page prints it: 28-2091 - Salvage certificate of title
(Arizona Revised Statutes 28-2091, read November 11, 2026)
Nothing to compute. We do not compute a money comparison from this quotation; the quoted words are what the state prints. States whose sentences can be computed are on the rule types page.
How do you get a rebuilt title in Arizona, in the state’s words?
“On application for a restored salvage certificate of title, the department shall conduct a level two or level three inspection of the vehicle that is the subject of the application to determine its proper identity pursuant to section 28-2011.”
“The inspection may include a review of bills of sale and invoices for component parts used in the reconstruction process.”
What fee does Arizona print?
“For a level two inspection, twenty dollars.”
“For a level three inspection, fifty dollars.”
Read each fee sentence for what it covers: an inspection, a title, or something else.
What else do the pages say?
“the owner of the motor vehicle shall not transfer the motor vehicle until a restored salvage certificate of title has been issued pursuant to this section.”
