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 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installments of taxes over $100 are paid by December 31st in one payment, any interest accrued after November 1st is no longer applicable.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.

The County does honor postmark if your payment is mailed to the Treasurer’s Office.

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 at: Mohave County Assessor’s, 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 time line for changes and updates.

Mohave County Property tax bills are usually mailed in September of each year and include coupons for the 1st and 2nd 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. 

You can file an appeal when you receive the notice of value. They are usually mailed to the property owners in the beginning of February each year in Mohave County. The due date for appeal as well as the process of appeal is mentioned on your notice of value.

Please note that 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 their budget, and the property assessed values can change each year, as well.
