Mohave County property tax appeal 2028: deadline, forms and how to file
To appeal a Mohave County assessment, file with the Mohave County Assessor's Office by mail; in Arizona the deadline is 60 days after the Notice of Value is mailed. Confirm the exact date on your notice or with the assessor; we add each county's 2028 date here when it is published.
Notices of Value are mailed no later than March 1 each year; the county's assessor booklet says they go out the first week of February (sample notice dated 01/31/2025 with appeal deadline 04/01/2025).

How to file in Mohave County
- Step 1
File the appeal
Use the method your notice lists, usually Form 82130R, by the deadline on the notice.
- Step 2 · before the hearing
Prepare and submit your evidence
The petition must state your opinion of full cash value and the information behind it (A.R.S. §42-16051): for a home, at least one comparable property’s value or sale in your area, or your own recent purchase. Appeal the total value, not land and improvements separately. Issues you do not raise with the assessor generally cannot be raised later at the board (§42-16056), so put all of it in the first petition.
- Step 3
Meet, then hear
An petition for review with Mohave County Assessor's Office comes first; if you decline the offer, the Mohave County Board of Equalization hears the case. Most reductions happen at the first step.
