Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report,
which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
|||||
| Fair
Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to
valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as
follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the
ability to access |
|||||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments) |
The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for
instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of
the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Schedule of Investments (concluded) | BlackRock MuniYield
Arizona Fund, Inc. (MZA) |
| Fair
Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the
ability to access |
|||||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for
instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation
of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely
recognized market indexes or ratings groups indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report,
which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

| Fair
Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to
valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as
follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the
ability to access |
|||||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments) |
The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for
instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of
the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For
information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for
instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation
of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

| For
Fund compliance purposes, the Funds sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely

which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

| Fair
Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the
ability to access |
|||||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for
instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Funds policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation
of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |
