  • The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors only control a small portion of the property tax bill.
  • The School District taxes are the largest portion of the property taxes from other jurisdictions, followed by the community college district, cities, special districts and the State.

GPLET Introduction

Govt Property Lease Excise Tax
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 filing 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:

Seniors needing additional property tax relief and Arizonans not required to file individual income taxes may be able to take advantage of state tax credits


Individual income tax filing season in the state provides potential benefits for Arizonans whose income level is below minimum threshold limits and not required to file an individual income tax return or are seniors who own a residence.

Both may still be eligible for state tax benefits by submitting two forms available through the Arizona Department of Revenue - Form 140ET Credit for Increased Excise Taxes or Form 140PTC Property Tax Refund Claim.

  • Form 140PTC is used by qualified individuals to claim a refundable income tax credit for taxes paid on property located in Arizona that is either owned by or rented by the taxpayer. Form 140PTC provides a tax credit of up to $502. To claim a property tax credit, you must file your claim or extension request by April 15, 2020. You cannot claim this credit on an amended return if you file it after the due date.
  • Form 140ET is used by individuals not required to file an Arizona individual income tax return but qualify to claim the refundable excise tax credit. The maximum credit available for the increased excise tax (Form 140ET) is $100 per household. An excise tax is a tax levied on certain goods by the state or federal government such as fuel, cigarettes, cellphones and alcoholic beverages.

Individuals not filing an income tax return and claiming both credits need only to complete Form 140PTC. However, individuals not submitting a tax return and not claiming the property tax credit must complete Form 140ET to claim the credit for increased excise taxes.

To determine eligibility for either Form 140PTC or Form 140ET, see form instructions at www.azdor.gov/Forms/Individual.

CP Expirations Legal Changes


There has been a change in CP Liens that is applicable to lienholders. Beginning September, 2019, SB1236 will include a provision that modifies the language in §A.R.S. 42-18127 Section A.

The original certificate of purchase, in addition to all subsequent taxes (sub taxes) will expire if an action to foreclose has not commenced within ten years after the last day of the month in which the original certificate was acquired.

Pursuant to this legislation, tax liens eligible for expiration will include the original certificate and all related sub taxes in the expiration process. Those liens with deadlines that are already in effect will not be affected however it will affect all future sub taxing liens so that the deadline will expire within a ten year period after the last day of the month that it was acquired and time limits cannot be extended to the original purchase.

You should consult your attorney for further advice.
