Although the Treasurer makes every effort to mail a tax bill to all property owners, Arizona Revised Statutes do not require the Treasurer to do so, it is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure their taxes are paid each year. Tax information is available online. Verify your mailing address by contacting the Assessor's Office.

The valuation of the property also plays a key role in calculating property taxes. Each year the Pinal County Assessor mails a Notice of Valuation to all property owners. The valuation is provided for two years and is based on the market sales in your area. If you believe the valuation is incorrect, a period of time is designated to file an appeal. For more information concerning the valuation, ownership, classification or a change of address, contact the Pinal County Assessor's Office.

The mortgage company will contact the Treasurer to obtain the information required for processing your tax payment. For "informational purposes only" the county Treasurer shall mail a statement of taxes due on the property to the mortgagor at the mortgagor's last known address.

For verification of payment by the mortgage company, view your tax payment history online. Mortgage companies may apply the payment on the actual due date. Please contact your mortgage company to address any concerns you may have.

A tax lien sale is held every February for delinquent taxes on real property for the prior tax year. This is a tax lien certificate on the parcel only and does not give anyone the right to enter or take possession of the property. At any time beginning three years after the sale of a tax lien the purchaser has a right to foreclose on their tax lien (§ARS 42-18201).

The Treasurer's office does not designate taxing authorities or levies. We are the collector of taxes within Pinal County. If your property is located in an unincorporated community, then municipal fire services do not exist. You may optionally choose to pay a third party for fire department and emergency services coverage.

Fire and Emergency Services provider, Rural Metro, explains the process as follows:

• Living in an unincorporated community has benefits, such as a lower cost of living and lower property taxes. Part of the property tax collected in a municipality pays for public safety, such as a fire department and police department. In unincorporated communities, there are no such taxes for public safety. Rural Metro Fire is a non-governmental fire department that has been providing fire and EMS services since 1948 in unincorporated communities in Arizona, Tennessee and Oregon. Rural Metro Fire provides the professional emergency service you deserve and expect when you call for help. Instead of funding from taxes, we rely on annual Rural Metro Fire memberships to provide professional training, vehicles and equipment for services in your community. We do not receive any money from Fire District Assistance Tax listed on your property tax statement. That money goes to other fire districts outside of Rural Metro Fire’s service area.
  
  

Additionally, please be aware that the levy of Fire District Assistance Tax is mandated by the State of Arizona. It is a common misperception that paying the FDAT (Fire District Assistance Tax) pays for your fire protection; however, it does not. The FDAT helps ensure that you will receive rescue services anywhere in the State of Arizona on any highway, street or roadway. FDAT is shared by all fire districts in Arizona to assist with the response to emergencies in areas outside of established fire district boundaries. This levy provides funding for rescue services only and is paid by every property owner, including city residents

Partial year tax liabilities are generally determined by the Title Insurance companies at closing. It is between the buyer and seller to assure that taxes for partial years are paid; the Treasurer’s Office does not determine partial year tax liability.

Both liens may be paid separately, however, each lien must be paid in its entirety when paying. The payment must also be made with Certified Funds-cash, Cashier’s Checks and Money Orders).

Certified funds are monies that are guaranteed by the bank. This would include cash, Cashier’s Checks and Money Orders. Certified funds are necessary when the tax payment required is for payment of a tax lien. These payments are immediately released to the tax lien holder and need to be guaranteed as fully negotiable funds.

In a typical real estate transaction taxes are prorated, and the buyer is given credit for the seller's portion. Review the settlement statement provided by the title company to confirm. The Treasurer's Office is not responsible for determining partial tax obligations between buyer and seller. Be sure the Assessor has your address on file in order to receive a tax bill in September of each year.

Tax increases are a result of either increased property valuations, higher tax rates or both.

A tax area code is a four (4) digit code used by the Assessor to designate which tax authority districts a property is located within. A Tax Authority District is a self-governing subdivision of the state created to provide services that are not already provided by another district or jurisdiction. These districts are listed as “Tax Authority” on the property tax bill. These tax authorities include school and city districts, as well as any other taxing district.

Each parcel is associated with a Tax Area Code. The Tax Area Code for a parcel can be found by completing a look-up at Assessor Parcel Search or Assessor Parcel Viewer. Once a parcel has been located, the Tax Area Code is listed in the description of the property. Click the Tax Area Code value to view rates.

Tax Area Code information-All Property, Real & Personal, is assigned an Area Code by the Pinal County Assessor. The Tax Area Code identifies what taxing jurisdictions may levy against the property. You can find this code on your tax bill or it is also available on the Treasurer Parcel Inquiry Site by completing a Parcel Search. Click the Area Code Rates button under the Main Menu and click on the Tax Area Code viewer. For questions contact the Assessor’s office at 520-866-6361.
