2013 property tax appeals

If you purchased real property after December 15, 2012, you still may be able to file a property tax appeal if the property was not previously appealed for the 2013 tax year.  This is regardless of what the Assessor's notices say.  Also, if you did not appeal to the Assessor for the 2014 tax year, you still may appeal in the Arizona Tax Court, and you have until and through  December 15, 2013 to appeal your 2014 tax year valuation and classification.  If you wait for your tax bill before you take action, then you will be too late.  So review your valuation notices now.   You can review your valuation at http://mcassessor.maricopa.gov   and your 2012 taxes at www.treasurer.maricopa.gov.  Should you have a question about real property tax, then please call me at 480.612.0577 or e-mail your question to mtynanlaw@cox.net.
