How to Locate Property Values in Arizona
In the state of Arizona, the property appraiser's office in each of Arizona's 16 counties is responsible for assessing, maintaining and annually updating the property value of every parcel of property in the county. The property values of each county's home, office or commercial property is public information. To find any individual property, you must first determine the address of the property, which will bring you all of the information you need for buying or selling a home or paying taxes on an owned parcel of property.

Tips & Warnings
Some property appraiser offices in Arizona may be referred to as assessors offices. Property appraisers assess the value of each property in the county for tax collection purposes but do not collect the actual property taxes. To contact your county's tax collector, visit the county tax collector's website, which is also available from the main county's website. To dispute the property value, contact the county's property appraiser for an appeal form.
