Annual Tax Statement
Annual tax statements are issued in the fall of the current year and billed for the calendar year. They may be paid in two installments:
- First half due October 1, DELINQUENT NOVEMEBER 1st
- Second half due March 1, DELINQUENT MAY 1st
The County Treasurer WILL NOT be held responsible for payments on the wrong property. Here are two ways to avoid this problem:
- Always check the property description on your tax statement
- Always provide your parcel number when making payments or inquiries at the Treasurer’s or Assessor’s office. Your parcel number can be found in the paperwork you get from the title company. The Treasurer must place interest on all delinquent accounts.
New Ownership Information
Ownership information transfers can take six months or more to process. If property is purchased after November 1st of the previous year, new owners may not receive a tax statement. The new owners must contact the Treasurer’s office if a statement is not received by October 15th.
Treasurer’s phone number: (602) 506-8511.
Notification of Value
Assessment notices are sent to every property owner on or before January 31st of each year. This notice includes assessed value, full cash value, classification and assessment ratio. These issues can be protested through the County Assessor within 45 days of receipt.
County Assessor’s phone number: (602) 506-3406
