Pima County Property Search, Assessor Map, Values & 2026 Tax Information
People often search for the Pima County property appraiser, but Arizona does not use that official title. Property valuation and parcel records are handled by the Pima County Assessor’s Office.
Use the Assessor to find an owner, address, parcel code, Full Cash Value, Limited Property Value, classification and valuation history. Use Pima County GIS for map-based parcel research, the Treasurer for the actual tax bill and payment, and the Recorder for deeds, mortgages and liens.
The timing can be confusing in Arizona because values are established ahead of the tax year. In 2026, for example, the Assessor mailed 2027 Notices of Value while the Treasurer is preparing and collecting 2026 property taxes.
Which Pima County Office Handles Your Property Question?
Three county offices can appear in the same property search, and several are located at the same downtown Tucson address. Their jobs are different.
| Your Task | Responsible Office | Official Resource |
|---|---|---|
| Owner, parcel, value, classification | Pima County Assessor | Assessor Parcel Search |
| Map a parcel or nearby property | Pima County GIS | Parcel Information Search |
| Appeal value or classification | Pima County Assessor | Appeals Process |
| Senior freeze or exemption | Assessor Valuation Relief | Valuation Relief Programs |
| Tax bill, balance or payment | Pima County Treasurer | Property Tax Payment |
| Deed, mortgage, lien or recorded map | Pima County Recorder | Public Records Research |
How to Search Pima County Property by Owner, Address or Parcel Code
The Assessor search is the authoritative starting point for assessment information. The county GIS parcel search is especially useful when an address search is difficult or you want to compare nearby parcels.
Open the official Assessor search
Search using the parcel code, property address or owner name.
Open Pima County AssessorConfirm the exact parcel
Match the situs address, owner and parcel code before using any valuation or tax information.
Select the correct tax year
The parcel-detail system allows tax-year selection. This matters because the 2027 valuation cycle is already visible during calendar year 2026.
Review value, class and ownership data
Check Full Cash Value, Limited Property Value, classification and property characteristics rather than relying only on the owner name.
Keep the parcel code
The same identifier helps when moving to GIS, the Treasurer’s tax record, an appeal form or recorded-document research.
After opening the Assessor website
- Use the parcel, address or owner search field.
- Open the record that matches the actual property location.
- Choose the appropriate tax year where the parcel page provides that option.
- Save the parcel code before leaving the record.
- Use the GIS or Treasurer link only after confirming you have the correct parcel.
Pima parcel-code format
Pima County GIS accepts a nine-character parcel code such as 11711001B. A formatted version with dashes, such as 117-11-001B, can also be used.
| Search Method | Best Use | If It Fails |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel code | Most precise lookup | Check the full code and final letter or split character. |
| Street address | Homeowner or buyer search | Pima GIS recommends trying the street number first. |
| Owner name | Finding parcels associated with a person or entity | Try surname first and verify every result by address. |
| GIS street search | Partial or uncertain addresses | Omit the trailing street type such as RD, AV or ST. |
Full Cash Value, Limited Property Value and Assessed Value Explained
Arizona property records use several different values. Confusing them is one of the easiest ways to misread a Pima County parcel.
Full Cash Value (FCV)
Arizona’s market-value concept for property-tax purposes, determined using statutory appraisal methods.
Limited Property Value (LPV)
A separately calculated value used as the basis for many property-tax calculations and subject to statutory limitations.
Assessed Value
The applicable value multiplied by the property’s assessment ratio. The ratio depends on its legal property class.
Why two nearby Tucson-area homes can have different tax bills
Tax bills can differ even when values are similar because a parcel may fall within different school, fire, municipal, library, community-college or special taxing jurisdictions. Properties in Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita and unincorporated Pima County should be compared using their actual tax-area information rather than a countywide average.
Pima County GIS Parcel Map: What It Is Best For
The Pima County Parcel Information Search combines Assessor data with county geographic information. It is useful when you need to see the parcel in context rather than read only a valuation record.
Good Uses for GIS
- Locate a parcel from a street address
- Identify neighboring parcel codes
- Compare nearby ownership records
- Research tax-area and geographic context
- Move from map research back to the Assessor record
Do Not Treat GIS as Final Proof Of
- Surveyed lot boundaries
- Legal easement rights
- Clear title
- Buildability or permit approval
- A final zoning interpretation
After opening the GIS parcel search
- Choose taxpayer name, street number, parcel code or detailed street search.
- For an address, start with the street number if the full address is not matching.
- Select the correct parcel from the returned results.
- Copy the parcel code.
- Use the Assessor parcel search for the official assessment record.
2026 Appeal Calendar: The Notice You Received Is for Tax Year 2027
The Pima County Assessor mailed the 2027 Real Property Notices of Value on February 13, 2026. The published deadline to petition the Assessor for review was April 14, 2026.
What evidence can support a valuation petition?
- Incorrect square footage, age, use or other property characteristics
- A recent sale of the subject property
- Comparable sales from the same geographic area
- Cost information when using a recognized cost approach
- Income information for income-producing property when applicable
- Evidence that the property classification is incorrect
After opening the appeal page
- Identify the notice you received: Notice of Value, Notice of Change, Proposed Correction or another notice.
- Read the deadline printed on that notice.
- Open the form appropriate to the property and appeal type.
- State the valuation method and provide evidence supporting your requested value or classification.
- Keep a copy of the petition and supporting evidence.
If the Assessor denies the petition
An owner generally has 25 days from the postmark on the Assessor’s decision to continue an administrative appeal to the State Board of Equalization, or may have a Tax Court route under the applicable Arizona deadlines.
Pima County Senior Freeze, Disabled Veteran and Other Relief Programs
Pima County’s Assessor administers statutory valuation-relief programs for qualifying homeowners. These are not the same as a general homestead exemption used in states such as Florida or Texas.
Senior Property Valuation Protection
This program freezes the qualifying home’s Limited Value in three-year increments. It does not freeze Full Cash Value or guarantee that the tax bill itself cannot increase.
Other Relief Programs
The Assessor also administers programs for disabled veterans, widows or widowers, disabled persons and qualifying nonprofit property.
Current Senior Freeze requirements
- Applicant must be at least 65 by the filing deadline.
- The property must have been the owner’s primary residence for the prior two years.
- The applicant may have only one primary residence.
- The qualifying property cannot exceed the program’s use and acreage restrictions.
- Current three-year average household-income limits are $47,712 for a single owner and $59,640 for two or more owners contributing to household income.
Before submitting a Senior Freeze application
- Confirm age, ownership and two-year primary-residence requirements.
- Review the current household-income limits.
- Gather Arizona identification and the required three years of income documentation.
- Complete and sign the application.
- Send it to the Assessor’s Valuation Relief section by the applicable deadline.
2026 disabled-veteran update
The Assessor states that previously approved 100% service-connected disabled-veteran exemptions apply to the 2026 tax bill. The office also notes that Arizona HB 4168 changes take effect for Tax Year 2027, so veterans should use the Assessor’s current eligibility guidance rather than relying on older exemption summaries.
Check Current Exemption RequirementsAfter opening the exemption page
- Select the relief program that matches your circumstances.
- Check the current income and assessed-value limits.
- Review the filing period and required identification.
- Gather disability, veteran, marital-status or income evidence required by that program.
- Contact Valuation Relief at 520-724-7500 if your eligibility is unclear.
Pima County 2026 Property Tax Due Dates and Payment Rules
Pima County expects to mail approximately 477,000 property-tax bills by the end of September 2026. The Treasurer—not the Assessor—handles payment, delinquency and tax-lien questions.

|---|---|---|
| First half due | October 1, 2026 | First installment becomes payable. |
| First-half delinquency deadline | November 2, 2026 | 2026 calendar adjustment because the statutory date falls on a non-business day. |
| Full-year payment | December 31, 2026 | If both installments are paid by this date, applicable first-half interest is waived under the Treasurer’s rules. |
| Second half due | March 1, 2027 | Second installment becomes payable. |
| Second-half delinquency deadline | May 3, 2027 | 2027 calendar adjustment from the statutory May 1 date. |
Before making a tax payment
- Search the Treasurer’s property-tax system for the correct parcel or tax account.
- Confirm the owner, property and tax year.
- Review the unpaid balance and installment status.
- Check whether interest or another charge has been added.
- Save the Treasurer’s payment confirmation after submitting payment.
Use the Pima County Recorder for Deeds, Mortgages and Liens
The Assessor’s owner field is useful for taxation and parcel research, but legal document research belongs with the Pima County Recorder.

Clean or Certified Copies
Clean document copies can be purchased through the Recorder. Certification can also be ordered when an official certified copy is required.

Pima County Property Appraiser & Assessor FAQs
1. Is there a Pima County Property Appraiser office?
The official Arizona office is called the Pima County Assessor’s Office, not Property Appraiser. It handles property identification, classification and valuation for tax purposes.
2. How do I search Pima County property by address?
Use the Pima County Assessor parcel search or the county GIS Parcel Information Search. If a complete address does not match in GIS, try the street number or a simplified street-name search, then confirm the parcel code.
3. What is the difference between Full Cash Value and Limited Property Value in Pima County?
Full Cash Value is Arizona’s market-value concept for property-tax purposes. Limited Property Value is calculated under separate statutory rules and is commonly used in the tax calculation. They can differ substantially on the same parcel.
4. When were Pima County 2027 Notices of Value mailed?
The Pima County Assessor mailed the 2027 Real Property Notices of Value on February 13, 2026. The published Assessor-level petition deadline was April 14, 2026.
5. Where do I pay my 2026 Pima County property taxes?
Use the Pima County Treasurer, not the Assessor. The first half of 2026 taxes is due October 1, 2026, and the second half is due March 1, 2027.
6. Why is the 2026 first-half delinquency date November 2 instead of November 1?
Arizona’s normal delinquency date is November 1, but when the statutory date falls on a weekend or legal holiday the deadline moves to the next business day. Pima County lists November 2, 2026 for the first-half 2026 payment deadline.
7. Does Pima County have a senior property-tax freeze?
Pima County administers Senior Property Valuation Protection for qualifying owners age 65 or older. It freezes the qualifying Limited Value for three-year periods; it does not freeze Full Cash Value or guarantee that the tax bill cannot change.
8. Can I find a deed or lien through the Pima County Assessor?
Use the Pima County Recorder for recorded deeds, mortgages, liens and related instruments. The Assessor’s ownership information is useful for tax records but is not a substitute for researching the recorded document.
9. How do I change the mailing address on a Pima County property?
Search the property on the Assessor website, open the parcel detail page and use the mailing-change option in the contact-information area. The electronic process uses DocuSign identity verification, and co-owner consent may be required.
10. What changed for Pima County parcel-combination requests in 2026?
The Assessor now requires a newly recorded deed that legally describes the combined property as one description when owners request multiple Assessor Parcel IDs to be consolidated into one. A copy of the recorded deed must accompany the current Property Combination Form.
