The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned. This Amendment amends the original Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.

KIM, an independent investment advisor, has accumulated 459,193 shares of Delaware Investments Arizona Municipal Income Fund on behalf of accounts that are managed by KIM (the “Accounts”) under limited powers of attorney, which represents 15.4% of the outstanding shares. All funds that have been utilized in making such purchases are from such Accounts.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

KIM has purchased Shares for the Accounts for investment purposes. However, KIM reserves the right to contact management with regard to concerns that they have with respect to the Fund. This may include letters to the Board and/or other communications with Fund management. Being an independent registered investment advisor, with a specialty focus in closed end funds, the profile of the Delaware Investments Arizona Municipal Income Fund fits the investment guidelines for various Accounts. Shares have been acquired since July 18, 2007.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) As of the date of this Report, KIM represents beneficial ownership of 459,193 shares or 15.4% of the outstanding shares. George W. Karpus presently owns 11,641 shares.

None of the other principals of KIM presently own shares of VAZ.

(b) KIM has the sole power to dispose of and to vote all of such Shares under limited powers of attorney.

(c) Open market purchases for the last 60 days for the Accounts. There have been no dispositions and no acquisitions, other than by such open market purchases:

Except as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships of any kind among the Principals and KIM and between any of them and any other person with respect to any of the VAZ securities.

Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.

As is indicated in Item 4, above, KIM has purchased VAZ for the Accounts for investment purposes. However, KIM has reserved the right to contact management with regard to concerns that they have with respect to the Fund, including letters to the Board and/or other communications with fund management.
