The baseline conforming loan limit in Arizona for 2026 is $832,750 for a one-unit home. Every county in Arizona uses that same baseline limit.
FHA loan limits in Arizona range from $541,287 to $609,500 for a one-unit home, depending on the county. The national FHA floor is $541,287 and the ceiling is $1,249,125.
A high balance loan is a conforming loan in a county whose limit is above the national baseline of $832,750. It still follows Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, so it is not a jumbo loan, though it usually prices a little differently.
A loan above the county's conforming limit is a jumbo loan. Jumbo loans are held by individual investors rather than bought by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, so the qualifying guidelines are set by each investor and tend to be stricter on credit, reserves and down payment.
Yes, and they are higher. Every county has four limits, one for each size of property from one unit up to four units. The figures on this page are the one-unit limits, which is what most buyers need.
About these numbers. Conforming limits are published each year by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and apply to loans bought by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. FHA limits are published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Both are effective for 2026. Limits are set by county and by the number of units, and they are not a quote, a commitment to lend or an offer of credit.
