Property tax in Pima County, Arizona
- Each year the assessor's office produces both a full cash figure and a separate capped number, and it's the capped figure most local jurisdictions actually bill against.
- Arizona's statewide cap on limited property value growth smooths out sharp year-to-year jumps in assessed value.
- New construction is added to the roll at full market value before the annual growth cap begins to apply.
- Valuation disputes can be raised directly with the assessor's office or appealed to the county Board of Equalization.

Frequently asked questions
How is property tax calculated in Pima County?
The Pima County Assessor's Office fixes a full cash value plus a separately capped limited property value every year, and most local jurisdictions bill their rates against the capped number rather than the full cash figure. That statewide cap keeps assessed-value growth more gradual than the open market in a fast-appreciating year.
How do I appeal my Pima County assessment?
A written appeal goes to the Pima County Assessor's Office ahead of the deadline shown on your notice of value, with a further appeal to the county Board of Equalization if you remain unsatisfied.
Does Pima County offer a homestead exemption?
Arizona skips a general homestead exemption for property tax, though a separate break shrinks the taxable figure for a qualifying veteran, widow, widower, or disabled resident.
Does Tucson-area growth push up Pima County property tax quickly?
New construction is assessed at full market value right away, but existing homes benefit from Arizona's cap on annual limited-property-value growth, which slows how fast their assessed value — and by extension their tax bill — can rise even as the surrounding market appreciates.
