Gila County Tax Records

Gila County property tax records give you key data on assessed values, tax bills, and payment status for parcels across this central Arizona county. The county seat sits in Globe where both the assessor and treasurer offices keep all tax records. You can search these records at the county building on East Ash Street or use the online EagleWeb system from home. Gila County covers rugged terrain from the Tonto National Forest to the San Carlos Apache lands. Whether you own a cabin in the pines or a home in town, the county tracks your property value and tax bill. All records are public and open for you to search at no cost.

Gila County Assessor Property Records

The Gila County Assessor's Office handles all property valuations in the county. Sherra J. Kissee serves as the county assessor. Her office locates and values real property and personal property each year for tax purposes. The assessor mails a Notice of Value to every owner in February. This notice shows your Full Cash Value and Limited Property Value. You get 60 days from when it was mailed to file an appeal if you disagree with the numbers.

The assessor keeps detailed records on every parcel. Each file has the legal description, lot size, and location data. Building records show square feet, year built, and construction type. The office also tracks sales in the area to help set market values. Under Arizona law, your Limited Property Value can rise only 5% per year. This cap means your tax bill grows slowly even when home prices spike fast. The Full Cash Value may jump to match the market, but taxes use the limited amount for most calculations.

You can visit the assessor at 1400 E. Ash Street in Globe. The office phone is (928) 402-8714. Hours run Monday through Friday during normal business times. Staff can pull up any parcel and explain the value or help you start an appeal. The Gila County Assessor website has forms, tax info, and links to search records online.

Personal property also gets assessed in Gila County. This means business equipment, machinery, and other items used for commercial work. If you own a business, you must file a Business Property Statement by April 1 each year. The state offers exemptions for smaller amounts of business property. Starting in Tax Year 2026, that exemption rises to $500,000. Ask the assessor if you qualify for this or other exemptions.

Gila County Treasurer Tax Payments

The Gila County Treasurer's Office collects all property taxes in the county. Monica Wohlforth is the county treasurer. Her office sends out tax bills each September and takes payments through the year. You can pay at the Globe office, by mail, or online through the county's web portal. The treasurer tracks who paid and who owes. They also handle tax liens when bills go unpaid.

Reach the treasurer at (928) 402-8702. The office is at 1400 E. Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501, the same building as the assessor. Stop by in person if you need help with your bill or want to make a cash payment. The Gila County Treasurer website has payment info, due dates, and links to search your tax account online. You can look up any parcel to see if taxes are current or past due.

Tax bills in Gila County follow Arizona's standard schedule. The first half is due October 1. It turns delinquent if not paid by 5 p.m. on November 1. The second half is due March 1 and late after May 1 at 5 p.m. You can pay the whole year at once by December 31 to avoid splitting it up. Once you miss a due date, interest starts to pile on. The rate is 16% per year. That works out to about 1.33% each month. On a $5,000 tax bill, being one month late costs you roughly $67 in extra charges. Pay on time and skip those fees.

Search Gila County Tax Records Online

Gila County runs two online portals for property tax searches. The assessor side uses EagleWeb to show property values and details. The treasurer side has its own web tool for tax bills and payment status. Both are free and open to the public. You do not need an account to search basic info. Just enter an address, owner name, or parcel number to start.

The EagleWeb Assessor portal shows property data from the assessor's records. You can find the Full Cash Value, Limited Property Value, and property class. It also displays the legal description and lot information. Use this tool to research values before buying land or to check if your assessment looks right.

For tax bills and payments, use the Gila County Treasurer Web portal. This system shows what you owe, when it is due, and if any past bills went unpaid. You can see payment history going back several years. The site also lets you pay your taxes online with a card or electronic check. A small processing fee applies for some payment types.

Note: E-check payments often have lower fees than credit cards for online tax payments.

Gila County Property Tax Appeals

You can fight your property value if you think it is too high. The appeal starts with the assessor. File within 60 days after the Notice of Value was mailed. Use ADOR Form 82130 for real property or Form 82530 for business personal property. The Gila County Assessor reviews your claim. They may agree to cut the value. If they do, the case is closed.

If the assessor says no, you have more steps. You can take your case to the County Board of Equalization within 25 days of that decision. The Arizona State Board of Equalization runs this process across the state. They act like a judge and look at the facts. They can raise or lower your value. You may also go straight to Tax Court within 60 days if you want to skip the board.

Bring good evidence to win your appeal. Photos of damage help show why your home is worth less. Sales of similar homes nearby can prove the market value is lower. Repair estimates or inspection reports add weight to your case. The board and court both look at facts, not feelings. If you miss the filing window, your appeal gets thrown out. Mark the dates on your calendar and act fast when you get your Notice of Value.

How Gila County Property Taxes Are Set

Your tax bill comes from two parts: the assessed value and the tax rate. The assessor sets the value. Local taxing districts set the rates. Schools, fire departments, the county, and special districts all add their own rates. These stack up to give you a total rate per $100 of assessed value.

For homes, the assessment ratio is 10%. So a house with a Limited Property Value of $200,000 has an assessed value of $20,000. If your total tax rate is $10 per $100, you would owe $2,000 in property taxes. Different parts of Gila County have different total rates. A parcel inside a city pays city taxes. One in a fire district pays that extra rate. Check your tax bill to see which districts apply to your land and what rate each one charges.

Arizona caps how fast your Limited Property Value can grow. Under ARS 42-13301, it can only go up 5% per year at most. This rule shields Gila County owners from huge jumps in their tax bills when the market heats up. The Full Cash Value can still rise to match real market prices. But since your taxes use the limited value, the growth in your bill stays slow and steady.

Property Tax Exemptions in Gila County

Arizona has tax breaks for some property owners. Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability rating get a full exemption on their home. This rule took effect on January 1, 2026. Other veterans with lower ratings may still get partial relief. Widows, widowers, and people with total permanent disabilities can also apply. See ARS 42-11111 for the full list of who qualifies.

The Senior Freeze Program helps older folks on fixed incomes. It locks your property value in place for three years. Even if prices rise around you, your value stays the same. This keeps your tax bill steady. You must meet age and income limits to qualify. Apply at the Gila County Assessor office using ADOR Form 82104. Call them at (928) 402-8714 to ask about your eligibility.

Business owners may qualify for the personal property exemption. Small amounts of business equipment can be exempt from tax. The threshold rises to $500,000 in Tax Year 2026. If your gear falls under that cap, you may owe nothing on it. File your Business Property Statement by April 1 to claim this break.

Nearby Arizona County Tax Records

Gila County sits in central Arizona and shares borders with five other counties. If you are looking at land near the county line, make sure you search the right county's records. Each county has its own assessor and treasurer. Your tax records live with whichever county contains your parcel.

To the west is Maricopa County, the state's largest, with offices in Phoenix. Southwest lies Pinal County based in Florence. To the east and south, Graham County has its offices in Safford. North of Gila is Navajo County headquartered in Holbrook. And to the northwest sits Coconino County with offices in Flagstaff. Each of these counties has online search tools similar to what Gila County offers.

Gila County Tax Liens and Delinquent Taxes

When property taxes go unpaid, the county takes action. First, interest starts at 16% per year as soon as the bill becomes delinquent. If you still do not pay by the next January, a penalty gets added. That penalty is $5 or 5% of the tax due, whichever is more. The county also lists your property in the local newspaper as delinquent. Then a tax lien gets filed.

Under ARS 42-17153, a tax lien is superior to almost all other claims on the property. This means if you try to sell or refinance, the tax debt must be cleared first. Gila County holds tax lien sales in February each year. Investors can buy the liens and collect the debt plus interest from the owner. If the owner fails to pay for years, the investor may eventually take the property. Avoid this mess by paying your taxes on time each year.

Note: You can check for liens on any Gila County parcel through the treasurer's online portal.
