How Arizona late fees work

In Arizona, late payment fees on commercial invoices are governed by Ariz. Rev. Stat. §44-1201 (legal rate of interest). The legal maximum is 1.5% per month (18% annualized). Legal rate is 10% per year; commercial contracts may charge up to the rate stated in writing. Service contractors typically use 1.5%/mo.

The fee must be stated in a written agreement before the work is performed. Without a written rate, only the statutory default rate applies.
