How do I appeal my property tax valuation if it seems high?

If your Maricopa County property tax valuation seems too high, you can file an appeal with the county assessor or the State Board of Equalization. Start by reviewing your Notice of Valuation when it arrives, usually in February, and check comparable properties in your area. You have a limited window to file, generally 60 days from the notice date. You'll need to provide evidence such as recent appraisals, comparable sales, or photos showing condition issues. The Maricopa County Assessor's website has forms and deadlines. The process is straightforward and homeowners can file themselves.
