The published evidence provides the starting point: Tempe, AZ is connected to Maricopa County for this 2026 source comparison. In practical terms, the published one-unit conforming limit is $832,750, while the published one-unit FHA limit is $557,750. Those figures organize different program categories; $832,750 is not a conventional loan offer, and $557,750 is not an FHA eligibility finding. For Tempe, AZ, starting with Maricopa County keeps the limits attached to the county or county-equivalent area used in the official files. Borrowers in Tempe, AZ still need to confirm the selected property's location and legal unit count, because the relevant Maricopa County row follows the property instead of the city label or mailing address alone. Around Tempe, AZ, mailing cities and ZIP codes can cross county boundaries, so the official property jurisdiction should be verified instead of inferred from a familiar place name. Keep Maricopa County as Tempe, AZ's confirmed county row before comparing the $832,750 and $557,750 program boundaries.

As local context for Tempe, AZ, Maricopa County's conforming limit rises from $832,750 for one unit to $1,601,750 for four units, while the FHA figures move from $557,750 to $1,072,600. For borrower planning, the higher $1,601,750 and $1,072,600 amounts apply to the published four-unit category; they do not apply to a one-unit home merely because a borrower wants a larger loan.
