How much can I sue for in small claims court in Arizona?
Answered for: Arizona
The small claims division has concurrent original jurisdiction with the justice court in all civil actions in which the debt, damage, tort, injury or value of the personal property claims either by the plaintiff or defendant does not exceed $5,000, exclusive of interest and costs, and in actions in which a party seeks to disaffirm, avoid or rescind a contract, or seeks equitable relief, and the amount at issue does not exceed $5,000.
The statute sets the small claims limit at $5,000, Exclusive of interest and costs. The same $5,000 ceiling applies to actions to disaffirm, avoid or rescind a contract or for equitable relief.. That figure is the one the section states; the words above are the section itself.
This answer is true in Arizona and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Arizona.
