Peoria Property Tax Records
Peoria property tax records are kept by Maricopa County, not the city itself. If you own land in Peoria, the county assessor sets your property value while the treasurer sends your bill and takes your payment. You can search these records online through the county websites. Peoria sits in the northwest part of the Phoenix metro area with a population of about 203,000 people. The city spans across the desert landscape and includes several master-planned communities. To find your tax bill or check assessed values for any Peoria parcel, you will work with the Maricopa County offices in downtown Phoenix.
Peoria Property Tax Quick Facts
Maricopa County Handles Peoria Tax Records
Cities in Arizona do not collect property taxes. The county does all of it. For Peoria residents, that means Maricopa County is your go-to for anything related to property tax records. The county assessor office sets values on every parcel in Peoria. The treasurer sends out bills and collects payments. Both offices sit in downtown Phoenix at 301 W Jefferson Street.
The Peoria city government does set its own tax rate. That rate gets added to the county bill. Your tax statement shows the city portion on one line and other districts on separate lines. Schools, fire departments, and special districts all get their share too. But you pay one bill to the county, not to each district. The county splits up the money and sends each district its share.
Peoria has a combined tax rate of about $1.44 per $100 of assessed value. The primary rate is $0.29 and the secondary rate is $1.15. These rates can change from year to year based on city budget needs and voter-approved bonds. Your actual tax bill depends on your property's limited assessed value, not the full market value.
Search Peoria Property Tax Assessments
The Maricopa County Assessor tracks every taxable parcel in Peoria. You can search by address, owner name, or parcel number. The search tool is free. It shows lot size, building details, and current values. You can also see sale history and any exemptions on the property.
Each year the assessor mails a Notice of Value to property owners. This notice comes out in February or early March. It lists two numbers. The Full Cash Value is what your home might sell for on the open market. The Limited Property Value is what gets used to figure out your tax bill. Under Arizona law, the limited value can only go up 5% per year, even if home prices rise faster. This rule helps keep tax bills from jumping too high too fast for long-time owners in Peoria.
Call the assessor at 602-506-3406 if you have questions about your Peoria property value. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also sign up for eNotices on their website to get your Notice of Value by email instead of regular mail.
Note: The assessor sets values but does not collect any money. For payment questions, contact the treasurer instead.
Peoria Property Maps and Parcel Data
The Maricopa County GIS Parcel Viewer shows property boundaries for all of Peoria. Zoom in on any neighborhood to see lot lines. Click on a parcel to get basic info like owner name, address, and values. The map tool works on most web browsers and is free to use any time.
This tool helps when you know a location but not the parcel number. Type in a street name and the map zooms right there. You can compare values of nearby homes. Check lot sizes before building a fence or adding a pool. Real estate agents and title companies use this tool daily. Homeowners find it just as useful for quick lookups on their own property or the place next door.
Arizona State Property Tax Resources
The Arizona Department of Revenue sets the rules that govern property taxes across the state, including in Peoria. They do not have records for specific parcels. But they do explain how the system works. The ADOR website has forms, guides, and FAQs about property tax law.
You can reach the state Property Tax Unit at 602-716-6843. Their office is at 1600 West Monroe Street in Phoenix. Hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. They offer live chat during business hours for quick questions about Arizona property tax rules that apply to Peoria and all other cities.
Pay Peoria Property Taxes
The Maricopa County Treasurer sends tax bills and collects payments for all Peoria properties. Tax statements go out each September. You can pay in two halves or all at once. The first half is due October 1 and turns delinquent after November 1 at 5 p.m. The second half is due March 1 and goes delinquent after May 1 at 5 p.m.
You have several ways to pay. E-check has no fee, which makes it the cheapest method. Debit cards cost 1.80% of the payment amount. Credit cards run 2.25%, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Digital wallets like PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay also work but charge 2.25%. Pick what fits your budget best.
Call the treasurer at 602-506-8511 if you need help with your Peoria tax bill. The office is at 301 W Jefferson St, Suite 100, Phoenix AZ 85003. Mail payments go to PO Box 52133, Phoenix AZ 85072-2133. The website lets you look up any bill and see payment history at any time of day.
Peoria Property Tax Deadlines
Missing a deadline costs money. Once you pass the due date, interest starts at 16% per year. That works out to about 1.33% per month. On a $3,000 tax bill, one month late adds $40 in interest. Two months late adds another $40. It piles up fast. The county does not send reminders when deadlines approach, so mark your calendar.
Key dates for Peoria property owners:
- February or March: Notice of Value mailed
- 60 days after notice: Deadline to appeal value
- September: Tax bills mailed
- October 1: First half payment due
- November 1 at 5 p.m.: First half becomes delinquent
- December 31: Full year payment deadline
- March 1: Second half payment due
Check the treasurer website before each deadline to make sure your payment went through. Bounced checks or failed card payments can leave you delinquent even if you thought you paid on time. Keep your receipt until the next tax year starts.
Appeal Peoria Property Tax Values
If you think your Peoria property is valued too high, you can file an appeal. Start with the assessor. You have 60 days from when the Notice of Value was mailed. Use ADOR Form 82130 for real property. The assessor reviews your claim and may agree to lower the value.
What if the assessor says no? You have two paths. File with the County Board of Equalization within 25 days of the assessor's decision. Or skip the board and go straight to Tax Court within 60 days. The board route costs less and moves faster for most homeowners. The Tax Court is a better fit for complex cases or high-value properties where you need a formal ruling.
Gather evidence before you file. Sales of similar homes in your Peoria neighborhood help show if your value is too high. Photos of damage or problems with your property matter too. The assessor or board wants facts, not just feelings. A well-prepared appeal has a better chance of success. Compare your limited value to recent sales nearby. If your value is out of line, you have a strong case.
Peoria Property Tax Exemptions
Several exemptions can lower your tax bill if you live in Peoria and qualify. Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability can get a full exemption on their home. This rule went into effect January 1, 2026, and applies to the primary residence only. Other veterans with disability ratings may qualify for partial exemptions as well.
The Senior Freeze Program helps older homeowners on fixed incomes. If you meet the age and income rules, you can lock in your property value for three years. Your taxes stay the same even if home prices in Peoria go up. Apply through the assessor using ADOR Form 82104. Widows, widowers, and people with total and permanent disabilities can also claim exemptions. Contact the assessor office at 602-506-3406 to find out if you qualify.
Peoria City Finance Office
While the city does not collect property taxes, the Peoria Finance Department can answer questions about city tax rates and how they affect your bill. The office is at 8401 West Monroe Street, Peoria AZ 85345. Call 623-773-7150 for help.
Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The office is closed on Fridays. Staff can explain how the city sets its tax rate each year and what services that money funds. Parks, roads, and public safety all get support from property tax revenue. For the actual bill or payment issues, though, you still need to contact Maricopa County.
