Frequently Asked Questions

The tax bills are mailed in September of each year and include coupons for the 1^st and 2^nd installments. This is the only notice a taxpayer will receive unless taxes are delinquent. Delinquent tax notices are mailed in June and December for Real and Personal Property. Taxes are due and payable regardless if the taxpayer receives a notice or not. If you do not receive a tax bill by the end of September, click here and enter your information to view your tax bill.

Property taxes are due October 1. Arizona law allows the option for property taxes to be paid in two installments on most property. The first installment is due October 1st and becomes past due after 5:00 p.m. November 1st. The second installment is due March 1st of the following year and becomes past due after 5:00 p.m. May 1st. If the taxes are $100 or less, they become due and payable in full on October 1st and past due after December 31st. If both installments of taxes over $100 are paid by December 31st  in one payment, any interest accrued after November 1st is no longer applicable. If any of the past due dates fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the past due date is 5:00 p.m. the next business day. We do honor postmark if your payment is mailed to the Treasurer’s Office.

Yes. Although the Treasurer makes every effort to mail a tax bill to all property owners, the Arizona Revised Statutes do not require the Treasurer to do so. Each taxpayer is responsible for paying the taxes due. The penalty for late payment is an annual 16% prorated monthly as of the first day of the month in accordance with ARS 42-18053.

• You may forward the current tax bill to the new owner if you know their name and address. 
• You may return the notice to the Mohave County Treasurer, P O Box 712, Kingman, AZ, 86402, with a note the property has been sold.

Please include any known information, such as the name of the new owner or the date of sale. It is also helpful to advise the Treasurer if the new owner lives at the property address. This helps get the tax notice to the new owner as quickly as possible. The Assessor’s office is responsible for listing ownership as well as values.

Contact the Assessor's Office at:  Mohave County Assessor’s Office, P O Box 7000, Kingman, AZ 86402, or you may telephone them at 928-753-0703, to verify that a record of your sale has been received, or to verify the Assessor’s timeline for changes and updates.

Property taxed in Arizona is classified as Real Property and Personal Property. Personal Property consists primarily of business equipment and mobile homes. Unless your mobile home is permanently affixed to your land and you have applied for affixture from the Assessor’s Office, you will receive one notice for your land and one notice for your mobile home. If an application for affixture is made after the Assessor’s deadline, you will still receive two separate notices the first year.

The Assessor’s Office is responsible for identifying the property owner and listing the address. All address changes are processed through the Assessor’s office. The property owner should write to that office to change the address listed on the tax notice and/or valuation notice. If the Treasurer’s office receives the written change of address the information is forwarded to the Assessor’s office.  To submit an address change online with the Assessor, click here.

Contact an attorney or Title company. The only way to change the ownership name on Real Property is to record some type of legal document with the Mohave County Recorder. The recorded information will be sent to the Assessor, who will change the ownership name on the tax roll. Taxes are due and payable, regardless if the taxpayer receives a notice or not. The tax lien attaches to the property each January, regardless of ownership.

State Aid to Education is a reduction for homeowners (owner-occupied property) of Primary Property Tax levied by school districts in their area. The taxpayer must live in the home to receive this reduction. This amount will be reimbursed to each school district from the State, through the County Treasurer. The percentage paid by the State is determined by the Arizona Legislature and changes as they make changes to the State budget.

The appeal process begins when the property owner receives the notice of value – not when the property owner receives the tax notice. Taxes are based on assessed values and tax rates. The Assessor establishes the assessed value of the property and each taxing jurisdiction establishes their rate. These tax rates change annually as each jurisdiction establishes its budget, and the property-assessed values can change each year, as well. Please contact the Assessor's Office for additional information.
