As Mojave County Treasurer, I would like to address concerns that primarily affect new homebuyers.
In early August of each year, the accounting firm receives an electronic file from the Assessor’s Office containing the property’s valuation, classification, and mailing address of the property owner. The address/owner update deadline for him is mid-July, so the evaluator can complete the data file and submit it to the accounting firm in a timely manner.
This means that new property owners who complete their purchases after June may not receive their September property tax statements, depending on the volume of property transactions. If the property tax was not paid through escrow, it will become delinquent after November 1st and the first notice the new property owner will receive is her June delinquency notice. Interest, fines and fees are charged against the account due to delinquent property taxes.
The Arizona Revised Statue does not give the treasurer legal authority to waive interest, fines, or fees.
This affects less than 1% of new home buyers, but everyone should be aware.
Property owners (old and new) can verify that their property tax bills have been paid by visiting the finance officer’s website at: www.mohave.gov Or call us at (928) 753-0737.
If you do not receive your property tax statement in late September, please visit our website to obtain an electronic copy and submit your payment by the late tax deadline.
Mojave County property tax invoices are based on a calendar year (January 1 through December 31), with the first installment due October 1.
If your property tax bill is over $100, you can pay the tax in two installments. The first installment is due on October 1st and he will be in arrears after November 1st. The second installment is due March 1st and will be delinquent after May 1st.
By the way, I have good news for you! I negotiated with the vendor his Point & Pay to reduce the eCheck fee by 50% from $2 to just $1 per transaction. With Points & Pay, you can use your debit or credit card to pay online on our website, by phone at (855) 814-6451, or at our offices in the County Administration Building at 700 West Beale. You can visit and pay your property taxes. Street, Kingman AZ 86401.
Thank you and may God bless Mojave County!
