Maricopa By County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Records

by
Maricopa County Arizona Parcel & Tax Record Guide

Search Maricopa County Property Records by Address, APN, Owner and Tax Account

Maricopa County Assessor Eddie Cook maintains valuation, parcel, legal-class and property-characteristic records for more than 1.8 million real and personal-property accounts. The fastest route for most homeowners is the Assessor’s address search, followed by the parcel detail page where you can review Full Cash Value, Limited Property Value, legal classification, maps and ownership information.

Arizona’s timing is unusual: real-property Notices of Value are issued roughly a year before the corresponding tax bill. The notice mailed February 20, 2026 is for tax year 2027, while the 2026 property tax bill uses values established previously and will enter its normal Treasurer billing cycle later in 2026.

Three Different 2026 Deadlines Matter Right Now

Real-property owners are between valuation season and tax-bill season. The April 21 deadline to appeal the February 20, 2026 2027 Notice of Valuation has passed. If you filed that appeal on time, the Assessor’s statutory decision deadline is August 15, 2026. Meanwhile, two important 2026 valuation-relief programs remain actionable through September 1.
Senior Valuation Protection Eligible owners can apply through September 1, 2026. This freezes Limited Property Value for three years—not the tax bill itself.
Personal Exemption waiver The regular February 28 filing date has passed, but qualifying applicants can file by September 1 with an approved Exemption Deadline Waiver.
2026 tax bill Maricopa consolidated tax statements normally enter the mailing cycle in September. First-half taxes are due October 1.
Business owners: Maricopa is scheduled to mail 2026 Business Personal Property Notices of Valuation on August 14, 2026. The current appeal deadline is September 14, 2026.
Arizona year-label warning: A Notice of Value mailed in February 2026 is generally for the 2027 tax year. A Treasurer bill received later in 2026 is the 2026 property-tax bill. Do not treat those documents as the same valuation year.

Address, Owner and Parcel Search Tips

Address search Try the simplest valid address first: number, direction and street name.
Owner search The Assessor recommends entering the owner’s full name and not abbreviating the first name.
APN search Common formats such as 111-11-111-A or the same digits without separators can work.
Trust or LLC ownership A residential address may be indexed under a trust, business or estate rather than an individual name.
New subdivision Recently split or newly created parcels can have different APNs than older purchase documents.
No situs address Vacant land may be easier to find with APN, owner name or legal-description information.
Do not identify land by owner name alone. Common names, multiple parcels, trusts and investment entities can produce several results.

Six Things to Match Before You Trust a Maricopa Record

APN Exact parcel
Situs address Physical site
Owner Current roll
Legal class Property use
Tax year 2026 / 2027
Deed number Recorded title
Useful cross-check: The Assessor parcel page can display the current deed number under Owner Information. Use that recording number to jump into the Recorder’s document system.

Maricopa County Property Record Field Decoder

Field What it means Why it matters
APN / Parcel Number Book-map-parcel style identifier assigned to the property. Best cross-reference for Assessor, Treasurer and Recorder research.
Full Cash Value Assessor’s market-oriented value unless another statutory method applies. FCV is generally the value you challenge in a real-property valuation appeal.
Limited Property Value Statutory taxable value used to calculate property taxes. LPV normally drives the tax calculation and is not itself directly appealable.
Legal Class Arizona statutory property-use category. Determines the applicable assessment ratio.
Assessment Ratio Percentage applied to LPV to create assessed LPV. Class 3 residential property commonly uses 10%.
Assessed LPV LPV multiplied by the statutory assessment ratio. Taxing-jurisdiction rates are applied to this assessed value.
Deed Number Recorded document reference associated with ownership. Use it in Recorder Document Search to open the underlying deed.
MCR Map/record reference connected with the parcel. Can help locate subdivision plats and map information.
Property Use Residential, rental, commercial, vacant or another use/classification. A classification error can affect LPV calculations and taxes.
Arizona Proposition 117

Full Cash Value vs Limited Property Value

Full Cash Value FCV reflects market conditions and can move up or down by more than 5%.
This is generally the appealable valuation.
Rule A LPV Most unchanged properties use the standard calculation.
LPV generally increases up to 5% and cannot exceed FCV.
Rule B LPV Significant property changes can trigger a recalculation.
Examples include splits, major improvements and change in use.
Assessed LPV LPV is multiplied by the legal-class assessment ratio.
The resulting assessed amount is used for taxation.
Your market value can fall while LPV rises. If FCV remains above LPV, Rule A can still increase LPV by up to 5% even in a softer housing market.
2027 notice context: Maricopa reported a median single-family FCV decrease from $408,100 for tax year 2026 to $400,500 for 2027, while median single-family LPV increased from $225,596 to $236,875.
Simplified Arizona residential calculation

How Maricopa Property Value Becomes Taxable Assessed Value

Step 1: Find LPV Example only: Limited Property Value = $250,000.
Step 2: Apply legal-class ratio Example Class 3 residential ratio = 10%.
Step 3: Assessed LPV $250,000 × 10% = $25,000 assessed Limited Property Value.
The Treasurer then applies the applicable primary and secondary tax rates from the county, municipality, school districts, community college districts and other taxing jurisdictions affecting the parcel.
Do not multiply market value by one countywide percentage. Maricopa property taxes vary substantially by location because different parcels sit within different combinations of school districts, cities, fire districts and special taxing jurisdictions.
The most important Arizona timing rule

Why a 2026 Notice Can Say “Tax Year 2027”

2026 Property Tax Bill Uses values established in the prior valuation cycle. The Treasurer will issue the annual 2026 consolidated statement later in 2026.
February 20, 2026 Notice of Value This real-property notice establishes FCV and LPV for tax year 2027, not the bill due later in 2026.
2027 NOV mailed Assessor mailed the 2027 real-property Notice of Valuation on February 20, 2026.
Appeal deadline Real-property petition for review deadline for the 2027 valuation.
Assessor decision Deadline for the Assessor to rule on timely assessment appeal requests.
SBOE decision State Board of Equalization deadline for applicable appeal decisions.
Tax Court Deadline listed for filing the 2027 valuation matter with Tax Court.
2026 tax statement The Treasurer’s regular annual statement cycle occurs later in the year.
2027 real-property appeal deadline passed

Maricopa County Real Property Assessment Appeal

The Assessor’s standard real-property appeal process applies to the 2027 Full Cash Value or legal classification shown on the Notice mailed February 20, 2026. The owner had 60 days to file, making April 21, 2026 the deadline.

Appeal FCV Use market evidence showing the Full Cash Value is inaccurate.
Appeal legal classification Use occupancy or property-use evidence if the legal class is wrong.
LPV is different The Assessor states that Limited Property Value itself is not the directly appealable value.
  • Notice of Valuation
  • Current parcel record
  • Comparable sales
  • Independent appraisal
  • Closing statement
  • Property-condition photographs
  • Repair estimates
  • Correct square-footage evidence
  • Occupancy/classification evidence
  • Requested FCV

A different tool for factual errors

Use a Notice of Claim for Certain 2026 Property Record Errors

A missed valuation appeal does not make every error permanent. Arizona provides a separate Notice of Claim procedure for defined factual errors or legal-classification errors.

Current year + three prior years The Assessor says a Notice of Claim can apply to calendar year 2026 and the three preceding years when statutory requirements are met.
Not a second valuation appeal It must involve a qualifying factual error or legal-classification issue rather than simple disagreement with market value.
Year-round filing The Assessor accepts qualifying Notice of Claim filings between January 1 and December 31.
Search the parcel and identify the specific error. Examples can involve incorrect property characteristics or legal classification.
Gather supporting documentation. Claims without evidence can be denied.
Use the official Notice of Claim process. Maricopa accepts claims through its designated electronic process, certified mail or in person.
Track the response period. The Assessor states that the office has 60 days to respond to a Notice of Claim.
Open Notice of Claim Instructions Use this route for qualifying factual or legal-classification errors rather than an ordinary market-value disagreement.
September 1, 2026 deadline approaching

Maricopa County Senior Valuation Protection “Senior Freeze”

Senior Valuation Protection freezes the Limited Property Value of an eligible primary residence for three years. It does not freeze the tax rate or guarantee that the final tax bill stays unchanged.

Age 65+ At least one qualifying owner must meet the program’s age requirement.
Primary residence The applicant must satisfy residency and primary-home rules.
Two-year residency proof Current application instructions require proof of residence for two years.
One owner income 2026 income limit: $47,712, averaged over the prior three years.
Two+ owners income 2026 income limit: $59,640, averaged over the prior three years.
Renew every three years Continued qualification must be renewed on the required schedule.
Income calculation is different from Personal Exemptions. The Senior Valuation Protection program includes Social Security and veteran disability income when testing the current income limit.
Current deadline: File by September 1, 2026. Applications received after that deadline are processed for the subsequent tax year.
Apply for 2026 Senior Valuation Protection Review age, income, residency documents and the online application before September 1.
September 1 waiver route still available

2026 Widowed and Totally Disabled Personal Exemptions

Maximum 2026 exemption Up to $4,873 can reduce qualifying Assessed Limited Property Value.
No minor children Current 2026 household income limit is $39,865.
Minor / qualifying disabled children Current 2026 household income limit is $47,826.
Excluded income Personal Exemption income testing excludes Social Security, military pensions and veterans’ disability payments.
Regular deadline February 28 has passed for 2026.
Waiver deadline A qualifying applicant can still seek filing by September 1 with an approved Exemption Deadline Waiver.
Open 2026 Personal Exemption Information Review the correct category, income documents and waiver requirements before filing.
Important 2026 / 2027 rule distinction

Maricopa Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

100% service-connected disability For 2026, a qualifying honorably discharged veteran with a 100% service-connected disability can receive a full property-tax exemption on the primary residence when all current-year eligibility rules are satisfied.
Partial veteran exemption Qualifying veterans with a lower disability percentage can receive a prorated portion of the 2026 $4,873 exemption.
2026 filing route Apply through the Assessor’s Personal Exemption program; the September 1 waiver deadline can still matter.
Do not apply the new 2027 rules backward to 2026. Maricopa announced that beginning in tax year 2027, disabled-veteran and qualifying surviving-spouse income limits will be removed and other eligibility provisions expand. Those changes are prospective.
Upcoming August 14 mailing

2026 real-estate tax payment cycle

Maricopa County 2026 Property Tax Due Dates

Annual statement Consolidated tax statements normally enter the mailing cycle in September.
First half due First installment of a bill over $100 is due October 1, 2026.
First half delinquency Statutory delinquency point is after 5 p.m. November 1, subject to the next-business-day rule when the date falls on a weekend or legal holiday.
Full-year option For bills over $100, an owner who missed first half can generally pay the full-year amount by December 31 without interest.
Second half due Remaining 2026 tax is due March 1, 2027.
Second half delinquency Delinquent after 5 p.m. May 1, subject to Arizona’s next-business-day timing rule.
Bill of $100 or less: Arizona requires the entire amount rather than two installments; unpaid tax becomes delinquent after December 31 at 5 p.m.
You owe tax even if the statement is lost or mailed to the wrong address. Search the parcel online before each deadline and keep the Assessor mailing address current.
16% statutory simple interest

Maricopa Delinquent Property Taxes and Tax Liens

16% simple interest Arizona law sets delinquent property-tax interest at 16% simple annual interest.
Accrues monthly The Treasurer states that interest accrues on the first day of each month and cannot normally be waived.
Interest paid first A delinquent payment is applied to accrued interest before the underlying tax principal.
February lien auction Maricopa County conducts an online auction of eligible delinquent real-property tax liens each February.
Certificate of Purchase A successful lien bidder receives a tax-lien interest—not immediate ownership of the home.
Foreclosure can come later Arizona tax-lien law provides a later statutory process involving the right of redemption and potential foreclosure.
Search all tax years. Do not assume the current tax year is the only unpaid account.
Use the Treasurer’s live amount due. Interest changes over time, so an old printed statement is not a payoff.
Check tax-lien activity. Determine whether the parcel has an outstanding Certificate of Purchase.
Pay the exact current redemption amount. Partial electronic payments that omit required accrued interest can leave taxes unpaid.
“I need the complete payoff for Maricopa County parcel __________. Please identify every delinquent year, current interest, fees, outstanding tax-lien certificate and the exact amount required to bring the parcel current.”

How to Search Maricopa County Deeds, Deeds of Trust and Liens

The Assessor can show an ownership record and current deed number, but legal land documents are preserved by the Maricopa County Recorder.

Recorder Justin Heap is the current Maricopa County Recorder.
Recorded document number Fastest route when the Assessor already provides a deed number.
Docket / book & page Older documents can be searched using their historical recording reference.
Name search Search last name, first name, business name and optional date range.
Full-text research Recorder search currently supports additional full-text searching for recent records using names, legal descriptions or addresses.
Plat map The Assessor’s MCR reference can help connect a property to recorded plat-map information.
Find the parcel through the Assessor. Copy owner name, APN, legal description, deed number and MCR when shown.
Open the Recorder Document Search. Go to Recorded Document Search.
Use the recorded document number first. This is more precise than a broad name search.
If you do not know the number, search the party name. Trust or business ownership should be searched in the Business Name field.
Narrow by document code or date. Separate deeds from deeds of trust, releases, judgments or other document types.
View the unofficial image or buy the official copy. The Recorder allows online viewing and paid official/certified copies.
Standard recording $30 per document for most recorded instruments.
Official document copy $1 per recorded page.
Certification $3 additional per document.
Assessor ownership is not a title search. A buyer should review the recorded deed, deeds of trust, releases, judgments and other relevant title records through the Recorder and appropriate title/legal professionals.

The 2026 widowed, totally disabled and qualifying partial veteran exemption can reduce Assessed Limited Property Value by up to $4,873, subject to the program’s eligibility, ownership and income rules.

County Property Search, Homestead & Tax Help Toolkit

Use this free helper to find the right county office, prepare a property search, understand appraised value, review homestead exemption steps, and organize TRIM notice or tax bill questions before using official county websites.

Built for Florida county property guides
Helps users find official resources
No fake database or approval claim
Useful after every article

Find the Correct County Office

Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Clerk, GIS, and VAB offices do different jobs. Pick your task below.

Quick rule: Property Appraiser = value, records, parcel details, exemptions. Tax Collector = bill and payment. Clerk/Recorder = deeds and recorded documents. VAB = formal value disputes.

Official Property Search Helper

Use this when a county article tells you to search by owner, address, parcel number, folio, PCN, STRAP, or alternate key.

Search tip: If address search fails, try only the house number and main street name. Avoid typing Street, Avenue, Road, Drive, unit numbers, or punctuation unless the official portal requires it.

Homestead Exemption Readiness Check

This helps homeowners prepare before filing through the official county Property Appraiser website.

Important: This is not an eligibility decision. The official county Property Appraiser decides approval, required documents, late filing options, and exemption status.

TRIM Notice & Value Review Helper

Use this to organize your questions before calling the Property Appraiser or preparing an appeal.

Your preparation checklist

Value term Simple meaning
Market value The appraiser’s estimate of the property’s value as of the assessment date.
Assessed value The value after limits or caps may be applied.
Exemptions Approved reductions such as homestead or other exemptions.
Taxable value The value used by taxing authorities after exemptions.

Property Tax Bill Direction Helper

The Property Appraiser values property, but the Tax Collector usually handles the actual bill and payment.

Florida timing reminder: Many Florida tax bills are mailed around November and become delinquent if unpaid after March 31. Always verify exact dates, discounts, and payment fees with the official county Tax Collector.
