Pay Greenlee County Property Taxes

Property taxes in Greenlee County follow Arizona's standard due dates. First half is due October 1. It becomes late if not paid by 5 p.m. on November 1. Second half is due March 1 and goes late after May 1 at 5 p.m. You can pay the full year by December 31 and avoid splitting it up. Once you miss a due date, interest starts right away. The rate is 16% per year, which works out to about 0.013333% per month. That adds up fast on large bills.

If taxes stay unpaid through January, the county adds more costs. A penalty of $5 or 5% gets tacked on, whichever is more. The county then puts the delinquent parcels in the local newspaper. By February, a lien goes on the property. Under ARS 42-17153, this lien sits above almost all other claims on the land. Do not let your taxes slip that far behind.

You can pay in person at the Clifton office. Cash and checks work fine. Credit and debit cards are also accepted. For online payments, use the Greenlee County online payment portal through Paydici. A small fee applies for card payments. E-check often costs less. Pick the method that works best for you and pay before the deadlines hit.

Note: Payment processing fees vary by method, with e-checks usually having the lowest cost.

Search Greenlee Property Tax Records Online

Greenlee County uses the EagleWeb system from Tyler Technologies for online property searches. This tool lets you find any parcel by address, owner name, or parcel number. The Greenlee County EagleWeb portal shows tax amounts, payment status, and basic property info. You can use it any hour of the day from home. No login is needed to search records.

The search results show current and past tax bills. You see if taxes are paid or if any balance is past due. Property details include assessed values and legal info. Some data comes from the assessor while other parts come from the treasurer. Together they give you a full picture of any parcel in the county. If you need certified copies or have complex questions, reach out to the county offices directly.

Many people use the online portal to check their own bills before payment time. Others use it to research land they want to buy. Title companies and real estate agents look up tax status during transactions. The system is open to everyone. Just type in what you know about the parcel and the results pop up in seconds.

Greenlee County Assessor Tax Records

Joan Cathcart is the Greenlee County Assessor. Her office finds and values all real and personal property in the county each year. The assessor sets the Full Cash Value and Limited Property Value for every parcel. These values go on the Notice of Value mailed out each February. You have 60 days from that mailing to file an appeal if you think the number is wrong.

Contact the assessor's office at (928) 865-5302. You can also email assessor@greenlee.az.gov for questions. The Greenlee County Assessor website has forms and info on exemptions, appeals, and property classes. Staff can explain how your value was set or help you file paperwork.

Assessor records hold a lot of useful data. Legal descriptions show exact parcel boundaries. Building records list square footage, year built, and type of construction. Sales data from recent transfers helps set market values. Under ARS 42-13301, the Limited Property Value can only rise 5% per year. This cap keeps your tax bill from jumping too fast when land prices climb. Your actual tax uses the limited value in most cases, not the full market value.

Greenlee County Property Tax Appeals

If you believe your property value is set too high, you can appeal. Start with the assessor. Under ARS 42-16051, you must file within 60 days of the Notice of Value mailing. Greenlee County mails these in February. Use ADOR Form 82130 for real property or Form 82530 for personal property. The assessor reviews your claim and may agree to lower the value.

What if the assessor says no? You have more options. File with the County Board of Equalization within 25 days of that decision. The Arizona State Board of Equalization oversees this step. They act as a neutral judge. The board can change your value or property class based on the facts. You may also go straight to Tax Court within 60 days if you prefer that route.

Bring good evidence to any appeal. Photos of damage or needed repairs help. Sales of similar properties can show market rates. Cost estimates from contractors add weight to your case. The board wants facts, not just complaints. If your value really is too high, the evidence will prove it. Keep track of all deadlines because late filings get rejected.

Note: Personal property appeals have a shorter window of just 30 days instead of 60.

This program can make a real difference for seniors on fixed incomes.

How Greenlee County Tax Rates Work

Your tax bill depends on two main factors. One is the assessed value of your land and buildings. The other is the combined tax rate from all local districts. Schools, fire districts, and the county itself each set rates. These add up to a total rate per $100 of assessed value. Homes use an assessment ratio of 10% of the Limited Property Value. A home worth $200,000 has an assessed value of $20,000. Multiply that by the total rate per $100 to get your annual bill.

Different parts of Greenlee County may have different rates. Some areas pay into fire districts while others do not. School district boundaries affect your rate too. The tax bill from the treasurer breaks it all down. You see which districts tax your parcel and the exact rate for each one. Check with the assessor if you want to know which tax areas apply to a specific property.

Arizona caps how fast your Limited Property Value can grow. The limit is 5% per year. When home prices jump, your bill rises more slowly because it uses the capped value. The Full Cash Value may spike to match the market, but your taxes stay tied to the lower limited value. This rule protects Greenlee County homeowners from sudden big jumps in their tax bills.
