  1. Alliance Management Group Tax Year 2012 Update

  2. Part I: Overview

  3. How is Your Real Property Valued? The Assessor is mandated by Arizona State Statute to value property at its Full Cash (Market) Value. Full Cash Value is the basis for assessing, fixing, determining and levying secondary property taxes.

  4. Sales Comparison It is also known as Market. This method compares your property to other similar properties that have recently been sold. This method is used mostly for homes and land.

  5. Income The Income Method is based on the income potential of the property. Using operating Income and Expense Data supplied by the owner, the value is determined by capitalizing the potential net income. This valuation method is primarily used on commercial properties.

  6. How is Your Real Property Taxed? Tax Rates are set by all budget authorities and are separated into two types. Primary Rates are set by governmental entities such as counties and cities and towns. They are applied to the “limited value” to determine taxes due. These taxes are used for the basic expenses of government and schools Secondary Rates are set by special districts, fire districts, and bond issues. Usually taxpayers vote for these districts and bonds, so the rates are applied to the Full Cash Value to determine taxes due.

  7. Estimate a Tax Bill • Limited Value (statutory calculation) used for primary tax rates • $100,000 x 10% = $10,000 assessed value • $10,000 value x $7.0331 tax rate = $703.31 (primary tax) • Full Cash Value (market value) used for secondary tax rates • $100,000 x 10% = $10,000 assessed value • $10,000 value x $3.0205 tax rate = $302.05 (secondary tax) Total taxes due = $1,005.36

  8. Notice of Value Information

  9. When Do I File an Appeal? • If you believe the Full Cash Value on your Notice of Valuation is higher than actual Market Value or the Legal Class is incorrect according to current use, you will want to file a “Petition for Review,” DOR 82130 • The Notice of Valuation is mailed prior to March 1st. This valuation is used for the next calendar year’s tax computations.

  10. Statutory Appeal Process • Level 1 Appeal to Assessor • Property Owner may make a request to meet with the Assessor informally • Level 2 Appeal to the BOE • Level 3 Appeal to Tax Court
