Yes, although the Treasurer makes every effort to mail a tax bill to all property owners, failure to receive a tax statement is not a legal reason for waiving interest.

The Mortgage Company may contact the Treasurer’s Office to obtain information required for processing a payment.

If the taxes are not paid before January of the following year a $5.00 or 5% penalty is assessed. The delinquent taxes are advertised in the local county newspaper. In February a lien is placed on the property for the amount of the outstanding taxes, interest and penalties. This lien is called a “Certificate of Purchase”.

When taxes are delinquent, a Tax Lien Sale is held to offer a tax lien certificate at public auction. This does not give anyone the right to enter or take possession of the property. If taxes are delinquent for a period of 5 years the purchaser has a right to foreclose on the lien. Seven years from the date taxes become delinquent, Arizona Revised Statutes require that the County foreclose on the tax lien on behalf of the State of Arizona.

Your tax bill is a calculation of the assessed value multiplied by the tax rate. Increases can occur due to either or both, increase property value or higher budget demands from the jurisdictions receiving property tax dollars.

You may:

• Forward the bill to the new owner so they know there are taxes owing; or
• Mark the envelope “sold” and return it to the Treasurer’s Office.

Property taxes are assessed against the property, not the owner. The Treasurer’s Office does not pro-rate taxes between new and prior owners. However, during the closing of a typical real estate transaction, tax amounts are pro-rated between buyer and seller by the Escrow Company. You may want to confirm this by checking your closing statement or by contacting your escrow company.

Yes, you may pay your taxes with a credit or debit card (See Treasurer’s Office – Payment Options menu item listing).
