ATTENTION TAXPAYERS! You can file an appeal if you disagree!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The 2017 Notices of Property
Value were mailed Feb. 5th,
2016. If you believe the "Full
Cash Value" is greater than the
market value of the property -
or that the legal classification
is incorrect,
you may appeal;
however to secure all of your
appeal options you must file
the appeal within 60 days of
the notice date.
Mail or hand
deliver one copy of the complet-
ed Petition for Review (left) to
the County Assessor. Retain a
copy for your records. Instruc-
tions on how to file an appeal
are located on the back of your
valuation notice and online
at
https://www.azdor.gov/
Portals/0/Property/82130.pdf.
However, to file an appeal,
your current taxes MUST be
paid. You can mark your check
"Paid under protest" which
may preserve the right to con-
test the bill at a later date.
If your appeal is based on:
1) The market sales approach,
include the full cash value for at
least one comparable property
within the same geographic area
as the property in question or the
sale of the property in question.
Contact local realtors, or check
recent real estate sales online at
www.Zillow.com.
2) The cost approach, include
all costs (materials, labor, archi-
tectural fees, construction finance
costs, builder's profit) to build or
rebuild the improvement(s), plus
the land value.
3) The income approach, include
a completed and notarized Income
and Expense Statement (DOR)
82300 and the appropriate Supple-
ment for the type of property (DOR
82300-1 through DOR 82300-7).
