La Paz County Tax Records

La Paz County property tax records are kept at county offices in Parker, Arizona. This small western Arizona county borders the Colorado River and California state line. You can search these records online through the county EagleWeb system or by using the treasurer's eNotices portal. Both the assessor and treasurer work out of offices on Joshua Avenue in Parker. Records show assessed values, tax amounts owed, and payment history for every parcel in the county. The offices are open Monday through Thursday with extended hours each day, but they close on Fridays. You can search most records on the web at any hour if you cannot make it in person during the week.

La Paz County Assessor Records

The La Paz County Assessor's Office sets property values for tax purposes across the county. Anna Camacho serves as the county assessor. Her office works to make sure all properties are valued fair and in line with state law. Each year the assessor finds and lists every taxable parcel. Staff then set two key values for each one. The Full Cash Value shows what the land and buildings would sell for on the open market. The Limited Property Value is what actually gets used to figure out your tax bill.

You can reach the assessor at (928) 669-6165. Send email to assessor@lapaz.gov if you have questions about your value or need help with forms. The La Paz County Assessor website has details on exemptions, appeals, and how values get set. The office sits in Parker and keeps normal county hours. Staff can pull up any parcel and show you the full record with lot size, building info, and sales history.

Arizona law caps how fast your Limited Property Value can grow. Under ARS 42-13301, it can only rise 5% per year. This rule protects La Paz County homeowners from sudden big jumps in their tax bills when land prices spike. The Full Cash Value may go up faster to match the market, but your actual taxes use the limited value. This is good news for people who have owned their homes for years and seen values climb.

La Paz County Treasurer Tax Bills

The La Paz County Treasurer handles all property tax collection. Leah Castro serves as treasurer. Her office sends out tax bills each fall and takes payments through the year. You can pay in person at the Parker office, by mail, or online. The treasurer's office is at 1112 Joshua Avenue, Suite 203, Parker, AZ 85344. Call (928) 669-6145 with questions about your bill or payment options.

Office hours in La Paz County run Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The office is closed on Fridays. This is different from most Arizona counties that keep Friday hours. Plan your visit for a weekday earlier in the week if you need to see someone in person. The extended hours on Monday through Thursday make it easier to stop by before or after work.

The La Paz County Treasurer website shows current tax info and deadlines. You can look up your parcel to see what you owe and when it is due. The site also has links to make payments online. Most searches are free and do not need a login. Staff at the office can help if you run into trouble finding your parcel or need to set up a payment plan.

Note: The treasurer's office closes on Fridays, so plan visits for Monday through Thursday.

La Paz Property Tax Deadlines

Property taxes in La Paz County follow the same basic schedule as other Arizona counties, but the exact cutoff times matter. The first half of 2025 taxes is due on October 1, 2025. That payment becomes delinquent on November 3, 2025, at 6 p.m. The second half is due March 1, 2026, and goes delinquent on May 4, 2026, at 6 p.m. Note that these dates land on Mondays because the normal first of the month fell on a weekend.

You can pay the full year at once if you prefer. Just send the whole amount by December 31 to avoid splitting it up. Once a payment goes past due, interest starts to add up. Arizona charges 16% per year on late taxes. That works out to about 1.33% per month on whatever you owe. On a $2,000 tax bill, that means roughly $27 per month in added interest if you let it slip.

If taxes stay unpaid into the next year, the county adds a penalty. They also put a lien on your property. Under ARS 42-17153, unpaid property taxes create a lien that comes before almost all other claims. The county holds a tax lien sale each February to recover what is owed. Pay on time to keep your property clear of these problems.

Search La Paz Tax Records Online

La Paz County uses the EagleWeb system for online property searches. The La Paz County EagleWeb portal lets you find any parcel by address, owner name, or parcel number. Results show the assessed value, property details, and ownership info. You can use the system any time of day. No login is needed to run basic searches.

The EagleWeb system works well for quick lookups. Type in an address and the system pulls up that parcel. You can see the legal description, lot size, and building info. Sales data appears if the property changed hands in recent years. This helps you understand how the assessor came up with the value. If you want to compare your home to similar ones nearby, run a few searches and look at the data side by side.

For tax payment info, the county also offers the eNotices Online portal. You can access it at enoticesonline.com/lap to view your tax bill and make payments. This tool shows what you owe, when it is due, and lets you pay by card or e-check. The site is handy if you just want to pay fast without digging into property details.

La Paz County Property Tax Appeals

You can challenge your property value if you think it is too high. Start by filing an appeal with the La Paz County Assessor within 60 days of the Notice of Value mailing. The assessor sends these notices in February each year. Use ADOR Form 82130 for real property appeals. Mail or bring the form to the assessor's office in Parker. Staff will review your claim and may agree to lower the value.

If the assessor does not agree, you have options. File with the County Board of Equalization within 25 days of that decision. The Arizona State Board of Equalization oversees this process across the state. The board acts like a judge. They look at the facts you bring and can change your value or property class. You may also skip the board and go straight to Tax Court within 60 days of the assessor's ruling. Most people try the board first since it costs less and moves faster than court.

Bring proof when you appeal. Photos of damage or needed repairs help. Sales prices of similar homes in La Paz County show what the market really looks like. An appraisal from a licensed pro can back up your case. The goal is to show the assessor or board that the value on record does not match what your property would actually sell for. Keep copies of everything you submit.

Property Tax Exemptions in La Paz County

Arizona offers tax breaks for certain property owners. Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability can get a full exemption on their home under ARS 42-11111. This means no property tax at all. Other veterans with disability ratings may qualify for partial relief. Widows, widowers, and people with total permanent disabilities also have exemption options. Contact the La Paz County Assessor at (928) 669-6165 to apply.

The Senior Freeze Program helps older residents on fixed incomes. This program locks in your property value for three years. Even if home prices rise around you, your tax bill stays the same. You must meet age and income requirements to qualify. The assessor handles applications using ADOR Form 82104. This can be a big help for retirees who moved to La Paz County for the warm weather and lower cost of living. Ask the assessor's office if you think you might qualify.

Note: Exemption applications must be filed with the assessor each year to stay active.

How La Paz County Tax Rates Work

Your property tax bill depends on two main things. First is the assessed value of your home or land. Second is the tax rate set by local districts. Schools, fire districts, and the county itself all set their own rates. These add up to your total rate per $100 of assessed value. The assessment ratio for homes is 10% of the Limited Property Value. So a home with a $200,000 limited value has an assessed value of $20,000.

Different parts of La Paz County have different total rates. A home inside a fire district pays that extra rate on top of county and school taxes. A home outside the fire district pays less. The treasurer's tax bill shows exactly which districts tax your parcel and the rate for each. Check the assessor's data to see which tax areas apply to your property. This helps you understand why your neighbor might pay more or less than you do.
