Property Tax Appeal · Pinal County, AZ
Appeal your property taxes
in Pinal County, AZ.
Home to Florence, Pinal County homeowners appeal through Arizona’s system: the county assessor sets the value, and the State or county Board of Equalization (then tax court) hears the case. Boards act on evidence of market value as of the assessment date — a licensed, USPAP-compliant appraisal is that evidence. Start with the $5 check to see what you’d save.
60 days from the mailing date on your Notice of Value, which assessors send in late winter — roughly a year ahead of the tax year it covers. Your assessment notice states the exact date — and the appraiser prepares your report and filing guidance for Pinal County’s procedure.
Under Proposition 117, LPV rises at most 5% per year and can never exceed full cash value — so a full-cash-value reduction saves money once it pulls below your LPV. Arizona values a year ahead: the notice you get this spring sets next year’s taxes, which is why the window comes so early.

60 days from the mailing date on your Notice of Value, which assessors send in late winter — roughly a year ahead of the tax year it covers. Your assessment notice states the exact date for Pinal County.
Arizona county assessors mail a Notice of Value in late winter showing two numbers: full cash value (roughly market value) and limited property value (LPV), the capped figure your taxes are actually computed on. You petition the assessor within 60 days of the mailing date; if the answer disappoints, the case moves to the State Board of Equalization in Maricopa and Pima counties or the county Board of Equalization elsewhere, and homeowners can alternatively take the dispute straight to the Arizona Tax Court. The appeal contests full cash value, so the winning exhibit is evidence of what the home would really have sold for — the comparable-sales analysis a licensed appraisal is built on.
Comparable sales as of the assessment date, adjusted for the differences between those homes and yours — the substance of a licensed appraisal. State or county Board of Equalization (then tax court) panels see hundreds of cases; a signed, USPAP-compliant report is the document they can act on.
We’re not an AVM, a computer model, or a real-estate agent estimate. Every report is prepared under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and signed by a licensed appraiser in your state — the same qualification required for mortgage appraisals.
