Find Glendale Property Tax Records

Glendale property tax records are public documents you can search at any time through the Maricopa County offices that serve this city. With a population of about 260,000, Glendale is one of the largest cities in the Phoenix metro area. The city sits in the west valley and covers parts of both Maricopa and a small slice of neighboring areas. Property owners in Glendale work with county staff to check their tax bills, look up assessed values, and find payment due dates. You can access most of these records online from home. The county assessor sets your property value each year, and the treasurer collects the taxes that fund local schools, fire districts, and city services.

How Glendale Property Taxes Work

Cities in Arizona do not collect property taxes on their own. This is a key fact that many Glendale residents miss. The tax system runs through the county level. Maricopa County handles all property tax matters for Glendale homes and businesses. The county assessor values your land and buildings. The county treasurer sends your bill and takes your payment. Glendale sets a tax rate, but the county does the work of billing and collection.

Your tax bill shows many line items. You see the city portion, school district shares, fire district levies, and community college taxes all on one statement. Most Glendale homeowners find that schools take the largest chunk of their bill. The city portion goes to pay for streets, parks, public safety, and debt on voter-approved bonds. Understanding this split helps you see where your money goes.

The Maricopa County Assessor tracks over 1.8 million parcels with a total value above one trillion dollars. Glendale makes up a good portion of that count. Each year around February, the assessor mails a Notice of Value to every property owner. This notice shows your Full Cash Value and Limited Property Value. The limited value is what actually sets your tax bill, and it can only rise 5% per year under Arizona law.

Glendale Property Tax Record Search

Searching for property tax records in Glendale is free and easy. Go to the Maricopa County Assessor website to look up any parcel. Type in an address, owner name, or parcel number. The system pulls up records in seconds. You can see lot size, building details, sale history, and current values. Maps show exact parcel lines so you know what belongs to each lot.

The Maricopa County Treasurer website shows the money side. Look up your tax bill to see what you owe. Check if past payments went through. See when the next installment is due. The site also shows any liens or delinquent amounts on a parcel. This is public info, so you can check records for any property in Glendale, not just your own.

Both sites work around the clock. You do not need to visit an office or call during business hours. Just open the site, run your search, and get the data you need. Print or save what you find for your records.

Note: The county sites have the official records, so always verify important details there rather than relying on third-party sites.

Glendale Tax Rates and City Profile

Glendale has its own tax rates that show up on your property tax bill. The city uses both a primary rate and a secondary rate. Primary taxes pay for general operations like police and fire. Secondary taxes cover debt from bonds that voters approved. Together these rates combine with school and county levies to form your total bill.

You can check current Glendale tax information through the Arizona Department of Revenue city profile for Glendale. This page shows how the city fits into the state tax system and provides contact details for the city finance office.

The city office can answer questions about local tax policy. Reach them at (623) 930-3190. The main office is at 5850 West Glendale Avenue, Glendale AZ 85301. Staff can explain how rates are set and what projects your taxes support. For actual billing questions, though, contact the county treasurer instead.

Glendale Property Assessor Records

The Maricopa County Assessor keeps detailed records on every Glendale property. Each parcel has a file with the legal description, lot dimensions, building square footage, and construction details. The assessor uses this data to set values each year. Sale prices of nearby homes also factor in. All of this is public record that you can search online at no cost.

Getting your Notice of Value is important. This arrives in late February or early March. It tells you what the assessor thinks your property is worth. Two numbers matter most. The Full Cash Value is market value, what you could sell for. The Limited Property Value caps your tax base and can only go up 5% per year. Under ARS 42-13301, this limit helps keep your taxes from jumping too fast when the market heats up.

If you disagree with your value, you can appeal. You have 60 days from when the notice was mailed. Use ADOR Form 82130 for real property. The assessor reviews your claim and may lower the value if you have good evidence. Comparable sales in Glendale that sold for less than your assessed value make a strong case.

Glendale Property Tax Payments

All Glendale property tax payments go to the Maricopa County Treasurer. The county mails tax statements each September. Your bill shows the total due and breaks it down by taxing district. You can pay in two halves or all at once. First half is due October 1 and delinquent after November 1 at 5 p.m. Second half is due March 1 and delinquent after May 1 at 5 p.m.

Paying online saves a trip. The treasurer website takes e-check for free. Debit cards cost 1.80%. Credit cards and digital wallets like PayPal or Apple Pay run 2.25%. Choose e-check if you want to skip the fee. You can also pay in person at 301 W Jefferson St in Phoenix or mail a check to PO Box 52133, Phoenix AZ 85072.

Missing a deadline adds cost fast. Interest is 16% per year, which works out to 1.33% per month. On a $2,000 bill, one month late costs you about $27 extra. Two months adds another $27. The county does not forgive late fees, so mark your calendar and pay on time.

Note: Check your payment status online a few days after paying to make sure it posted correctly.

Glendale Property Tax Exemptions

Several exemptions can lower your Glendale property tax bill. Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability now qualify for a full exemption on their home. This change took effect January 1, 2026. The ARS 42-11111 statute lists all who qualify, including widows, widowers, and people with total permanent disabilities.

The Senior Freeze Program helps older residents on fixed incomes. It locks your property value for three years so taxes stay stable even as home prices rise. You must meet age and income limits. Apply through the assessor using Form 82104. This program can provide real relief if you worry about rising bills pushing you out of your home. The program renews if you still qualify after three years.

Business owners should know about the personal property exemption. Starting in Tax Year 2026, the exemption rises to $500,000. Many small businesses in Glendale will owe nothing on equipment and fixtures. You still need to file the Business Property Statement by April 1 if your property value exceeds the limit.

Glendale Property Tax Appeals

You have the right to appeal if you think your Glendale property is valued too high. The process starts with the Maricopa County Assessor. Under ARS 42-16051, you must file within 60 days after the assessor mailed your Notice of Value. Use ADOR Form 82130 for real property. The assessor looks at your evidence and may agree to reduce the value.

If the assessor says no, you have options. Appeal to the County Board of Equalization within 25 days of the decision. The State Board of Equalization oversees this process and acts like a court. You can also skip the board and go straight to Tax Court within 60 days. Most people start with the board since it costs less and moves faster.

Prepare your case before you file. Gather sales data for similar Glendale homes that sold for less. Take photos of any problems with your property. The more facts you bring, the better your chances. The board does not accept appeals by email or fax, and they rarely reschedule hearings, so be ready on your assigned date.
