APPEAL INFORMATION
Appeal Forms are located at the bottom of this page
THE 2011 APPEAL CYCLE WITH THE ASSESSOR IS OVER. We sent 2011 Notices of Value on February 5, 2010. The appeal deadline was April 6, 2010. If you missed the opportunity to appeal 2011 values with the Assessor, you have until December 15, 2010, to appeal 2011 values at the tax court level. Here's the link. Do NOT send your tax court appeal to the Assessor. Please read the instructions on the tax court paperwork to see what to send, where to send it, and how much you need to pay to file a tax court case.
All APPEALS FOR 2009 VALUES ARE OVER EVEN IF YOU ARE A NEW OWNER.
It is also too late to appeal 2010 values with the Assessor's Office or at the Tax Court level. The deadline to appeal 2010 values at the Assessor level was April 14, 2009. The deadline to appeal 2010 values at the Arizona Tax Court level was December 15, 2009. The only exception is if you are a new owner (purchaser of the property AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2009) and the previous owner didn't already appeal the 2010 values, then you may appeal 2010 values at Arizona Tax Court before December 15, 2010. Here is the link to tax court.
When can I appeal my values? We send Notices of Value between January 1 and March 1 every year. Valuations are send out one year ahead. For example, 2009 Notices of Value were sent on January 29, 2008, and 2010 Notices of Value were sent on February 13, 2009. You may appeal your values with the Assessor's Office within 60 days from the date a Notice of Value is sent out. If you miss the time frame to appeal with the Assessor, the law still allows you to appeal at the Tax Court level before December 15 of the valuation year. The appeals process starts over each year when we send Notices of Value.
2009 Valuation Year = 2008 Calendar Year
2010 Valuation Year = 2009 Calendar Year

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
If you did not appeal with the Assessor first, you may NOT appeal at the BOE level.
Once you appeal with the Assessor, we are required to send you our decision before August 15 of the valuation year. If you do not agree with the Assessor’s decision regarding your administrative appeal, you may continue to the Board of Equalization within 25 days from the date the Assessor sent their decision, or you may go to Arizona Tax Court. In Mohave County, the Board of Equalization is handled through the Clerk of the Board (Phone: 928-753-0731). They will receive your appeal and schedule a meeting with an independent appeal officer from the State to hear your appeal. You do this by mailing a copy of the appeal form to:
Mohave County Clerk of the Board
PO Box 7000
Kingman AZ 86402
If you disagree with the BOE hearing officer’s decision, you can still appeal your valuation to Arizona Tax Court within 60 days from the date of the Hearing Officer’s decision.
