• Seniors Valuation Protection

  The Seniors Valuation Protection program is designed "to freeze the full cash value of a primary residence owned by seniors based on income and age."

  More information is available on this program from the Maricopa County Assessor at mcassessor.maricopa.gov/assessor/PDF/FORMS/Senior Valuation Protection-2013.pdf or www.azleg.state.az.us/const/9/18.htm

• Widows/Widowers/Disabled Exemption

  The Arizona Statutes 42-11111 provides in part:

  "The property of widows, widowers and disabled persons who are residents of this state is exempt from taxation to the extent allowed by article IX, sections 2, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, Constitution of Arizona, and subject to the conditions and limitations prescribed by this section."

  You can review the statute at the Arizona Legislature website (ALIS):

• Elderly Assistance Fund (EAF)

  The Elderly Assistance Fund (EAF) was established by the Board of Supervisors in February 2007. The Maricopa County Treasurer's Office administers the fund to reduce the property tax of qualified elderly taxpayers.

  Qualified applicants have limited income, live within an organized school district, and have enrolled in the Seniors Valuation Protection program. If you do not live within an organized school district, you already have reduced property tax rates since you are not funding a local school system, and therefore do not qualify for the EAF.

  The EAF collects money from Certificates of Purchase (CP) redemptions; the difference between the statutory rate of 16% and the rate stated on the CP is deposited into the fund. On June 30th of each year, the County Treasurer determines the amount of funds available and the number of qualified taxpayers who have applied. The monies in the fund will be distributed proportionately to these individuals to reduce the primary school district taxes that are levied against property for the following Tax Year.

  For more information or to determine your eligibility status, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact our customer service department at (602) 506-8511.

Attention Government Property Lessees!

Arizona State law requires anyone leasing property from a city, town, and county or county stadium district to file an annual report and pay excise taxes for the use and occupancy of the leased property annually by December 1st. Under ARS 42-6204(A) & (B). Lessees are required to file a return, pay the excise taxes directly to the Maricopa County Treasurer’s Office and submit a copy to the government lessor on or before December 1st of each year. Late filling penalties and interest accrue after that date.

Please use the form, instructions and worksheets below to calculate your excise tax. It is important that you attach your tax worksheets to the return form or it will be considered an incomplete return. Contact your lessor if you need additional information in completing the form or in calculating the tax.

You may file your return and pay taxes to the attention of:
