Maricopa County Parcel Search: Property Records & GIS Maps

Maricopa County, Arizona — Parcel Search & Property Records

Find a Maricopa County Parcel by Address, Owner or APN

A Maricopa County parcel search starts with the official Maricopa County Assessor’s website. You can search for a property by street address, owner name or Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN), then review its ownership information, property characteristics, valuation and associated parcel map.

The Assessor also provides a separate interactive GIS Parcel Viewer for finding parcels on a map, researching subdivisions and checking section-township-range information.

If you need a tax payment, recorded deed, plat map or property-tax appeal, those tasks may require a different government service. This guide shows which official tool to use and how to get from a basic parcel search to the record you actually need.

Find a parcel on a map
Use the official GIS Parcel Viewer.
Find your parcel number
Search by name or address and copy the APN shown in the first column of the Assessor’s results.

Important: the Assessor determines and maintains property valuations but does not issue or collect property-tax payments. The Treasurer handles property-tax billing and collection, while the Recorder handles recorded real-estate documents.

How to find your Maricopa County APN

APN stands for Assessor’s Parcel Number. It is one of the most useful identifiers for searching the property database, locating a parcel on the map and matching tax records.

According to the County Assessor, the APN appears in the first column of the property search results.

Search by street address or owner name.Start with information you already know.
Locate the correct property in the results.Compare addresses and names when multiple parcels appear.
Copy the APN.Keep the full number, including any letter suffix.
Reuse it in the GIS Parcel Viewer.This is often the fastest way to identify the exact mapped lot.

APN formats accepted by the Assessor

The County’s search guidance accepts numbers with or without separators. The following are illustrative formatting examples published by the Assessor:

Format
Example
Search guidance
Book-map-parcel with suffix
111-11-111-A
Include the letter suffix when it is part of the APN.
Without separators
11111111
The search can accept a continuous sequence of digits.
With letter suffix
11111111a
A trailing letter can identify a split parcel.
Don’t confuse identifiers: an APN is not necessarily the same as an MCR subdivision recording number, deed recording number or Treasurer payment confirmation.

Search Maricopa County property records by owner name

Owner-name searching is useful when you know who holds the property but do not have its street address or parcel number.

Open the Assessor’s property search.Use the same official homepage search.
Enter the owner’s full name.The Assessor advises users not to abbreviate the first name.
Review similar matches.Owners can have multiple parcels, and names can appear more than once.
Confirm the parcel location.Match the owner with the situs address and APN.
Use Recorder records if ownership needs legal verification.An assessment listing does not replace a title examination.
GIS-specific format: the County GIS viewer’s documented owner-name search uses LASTNAME FIRSTNAME, without a comma, such as Smith John.

If the property is owned by a trust or business, the Recorder also offers a business-name search for recorded documents.

How to use the Maricopa County GIS Parcel Viewer

The official Assessor Parcel Viewer is especially helpful for vacant lots, subdivisions and properties where a map is easier to understand than a list of addresses.

Open the GIS Parcel Viewer.Visit maps.mcassessor.maricopa.gov.
Choose the Search By tool.The viewer offers search methods for known identifiers and map-based selection.
Choose what to search.For ordinary real estate, select the parcel search option.
Enter the APN or owner name.For example, the viewer documents parcel searches using an APN with or without dashes.
Select the correct result.The map zooms to the selected result and populates the Feature Information panel.
Open Property Information.Use the Property Information control to visit the detailed Assessor record.

What does a Maricopa County property record show?

Once you find the right parcel, read the complete record rather than relying on one value or a map pin.

Property field
What it helps you verify
APN
The official Assessor’s Parcel Number.
Situs address
The physical location of the property.
Owner information
Ownership data maintained for assessment purposes.
Legal description
Lot, block, subdivision or other legal-description clues.
Land and improvements
Parcel size and available building characteristics.
Full Cash Value (FCV)
The Assessor’s estimate of market value.
Limited Property Value (LPV)
The value generally used as the basis for property-tax assessment.
Property classification
Identifies which assessment rules and ratios apply.
Deed number
A reference to the recorded ownership document when provided.
MCR reference
A subdivision map recording reference when applicable.
Save these three details: APN, valuation tax year and owner/parcel description. They make it much easier to compare the Assessor record with tax bills and recorded documents.

How to find a subdivision plat map

Maricopa County uses MCR numbers as references to recorded subdivision maps. This can be particularly useful when checking lot dimensions or searching for a subdivision’s original plat.

Search the property with the Assessor.Open its detailed record using the APN.
Find the MCR number.The Recorder says it may appear in the first section or under Property Information.
Select the MCR reference.Follow the available plat-map link.
Use the Recorder as an alternative.Search recorded documents by subdivision name and select the Plat Maps document type.
Practical limitation: not every recorded plat shows the exact dimensions a homeowner needs. A title professional or surveyor may be necessary for a boundary question.

How to find Maricopa County deeds and recorded property documents

The Maricopa County Recorder maintains deeds, mortgages, plats and other recorded instruments. The Recorder’s database serves a different purpose from the Assessor’s valuation system.

Open Recorded Document Search.Use the official Recorder website.
Search by name or recording information.Available fields include recorded document number, book and page, names, document code and date range.
Use the business-name option when applicable.This may help with trusts, companies, subdivisions or HOA documents.

Maricopa County property values: FCV vs LPV

Arizona has an important valuation distinction that affects almost every Maricopa County property owner.

Full Cash Value (FCV)The Assessor’s estimate of market value, subject to applicable statutory appraisal rules.
Limited Property Value (LPV)A separate statutory value generally used to calculate the property’s assessed value for taxation.

Under Arizona Proposition 117, the standard LPV calculation generally limits annual increases to 5%, subject to statutory exceptions. This does not mean market values can rise only 5%, and it does not guarantee that a property’s tax bill cannot increase by more than 5%.

Rule A and Rule B

Method
When it applies
Important detail
Rule A
Most established properties without qualifying major changes
LPV generally increases by no more than 5% annually and cannot exceed FCV.
Rule B
Properties with qualifying changes such as new improvements or other statutory events
A different method can establish the LPV rather than simply using the prior year’s value plus 5%.
Example: if an unchanged property’s prior LPV was $200,000, its next Rule A LPV would generally be limited to $210,000, provided its FCV is not lower and no applicable exception changes the calculation.

2026 local valuation context

Maricopa County’s FY2025 Annual Report lists a 2026 median FCV of approximately $407,800 for single-family residential property and a median LPV of approximately $225,307. These figures describe countywide trends, not the value of any individual property.

Local insight: FCV can fall while LPV rises if a sufficient gap remains between the two. Check both numbers and their tax years before concluding an assessment record is inconsistent.
Official LPV Explanation

How Maricopa County property tax is calculated

The Assessor establishes valuation and property classification. Applicable assessment ratios convert LPV into assessed value, and taxing jurisdictions determine the rates used for tax billing.

LPV × Applicable Assessment Ratio = Assessed Value
Assessed Value × Applicable Tax Rate = Estimated Property Tax

Illustrative primary residential calculation

  1. Limited Property Value: $250,000.
  2. Illustrative residential assessment ratio: 10%.
  3. Assessed value: $25,000.
  4. Illustrative combined rate: $8 per $100 of assessed value.
  5. Basic estimate: $25,000 ÷ 100 × $8 = $2,000.
This is a calculation example, not an official tax quote. Check the current statutory ratio for the relevant tax year, actual primary and secondary tax rates, credits, exemptions and any additional items on the county tax statement. Do not use an illustrative $8 rate as your parcel’s actual rate.

Your actual property tax may reflect school districts, cities, community colleges, special districts, voter-approved bonds and other jurisdictional levies.

Maricopa County property-tax bills and 2026 due dates

The Maricopa County Treasurer, not the Assessor, is responsible for property-tax billing and collection.

Tax payment stage
2026 tax-year timing
First installment due

After 5 p.m. on November 2, 2026, applying the next-business-day rule
Second installment due
March 1, 2027
Second installment delinquency
After the applicable May 2027 statutory deadline, subject to weekend or holiday adjustment
Full-year payment
Check the Treasurer’s full-payment rules, including the December 31 deadline when applicable
As of October 21, 2026: the first-half payment date of October 1 has passed, but the published first-half delinquency threshold is after 5 p.m. on November 2, 2026. Confirm the live Treasurer account before making payment.

How to check the tax account

Open the official Treasurer website.Use the property-tax inquiry or payment resources.
Search using available account information.The APN from the Assessor is a useful starting identifier.
Verify the property and tax year.Confirm that the bill belongs to the intended parcel.
Review tax details before paying.Check installments, payment history, rates and any fees or charges.
Save your confirmation.Keep the official payment receipt for future reference.

Maricopa County assessment appeals: what changed in 2026?

Arizona values real property in advance of the tax year. The Notice of Valuation mailed during 2026 relates to the 2027 property-tax year.

The County’s published 2027 appeal schedule lists these milestones:

Event
Date or deadline
2027 Notice of Valuation mailed
February 20, 2026
Assessor real-property appeal deadline
April 21, 2026
Assessor appeal decision deadline
August 15, 2026
State Board of Equalization appeal
Generally within 25 days of the Assessor’s appeal decision
State Board of Equalization ruling deadline
October 15, 2026
Published 2027 Notice of Valuation Tax Court deadline
December 15, 2026
The regular April 21, 2026 Assessor appeal deadline has passed. If you received an appeal decision, follow the separate deadline applicable to the next review stage. For an earlier year’s factual error, a Notice of Claim may be more appropriate.

What may support an appeal?

  • Evidence that the Full Cash Value does not reflect market value.
  • Comparable sales involving genuinely similar properties.
  • Photographs showing condition or damage.
  • Documentation correcting property characteristics.
  • Evidence that the property classification is wrong.

The Assessor’s guidance explains that LPV itself cannot simply be appealed as a market-value disagreement. Ordinary valuation appeals generally concern FCV or classification.

Official Appeals & Deadlines

Notice of Claim: correcting 2026 or earlier factual errors

Maricopa County distinguishes a regular valuation appeal from a Notice of Claim. The Notice of Claim process is intended for qualifying factual errors under Arizona law or certain legal classification errors.

The County says a Notice of Claim can apply to the current calendar tax year, 2026, and the three prior tax years, subject to statutory requirements.

Identify the error.Check whether it concerns a qualifying factual characteristic or classification rather than an ordinary disagreement about market value.
Gather supporting documentation.Use measurements, photographs, recorded facts or other evidence relevant to the specific mistake.
Obtain the official Notice of Claim instructions and form.Review the Assessor’s eligibility guidance.
Submit within the applicable claim period.The County describes a January 1 through December 31 filing window for the current calendar tax year and eligible prior years.
Review the Assessor’s response.The County generally has 60 days to consent to or dispute a qualifying claim.
Which process fits? If the home’s condition or square footage is recorded incorrectly, investigate a Notice of Claim. If the issue is the 2027 FCV on the annual Notice of Value, the ordinary appeal process and its deadlines are different.
Official Notice of Claim Guide

Property-tax relief and classification programs

Maricopa County provides several valuation relief, exemption and classification services. They are not interchangeable, so check the specific eligibility rules before applying.

Senior Valuation Relief
An eligible senior homeowner may qualify for a valuation protection program subject to income, ownership and residency requirements.
Veteran personal exemptions
Qualifying veterans and other eligible individuals may have specific exemption options under Arizona law.
Primary residential classification
Owner occupancy can affect legal classification and applicable tax treatment.
Residential rental registration
Owners of qualifying rental property must follow Arizona’s residential rental registration rules.
Historic property reclassification
Qualifying historic properties may receive a reduced assessment ratio through the appropriate program.
Organizational exemptions
Certain qualifying organizations may obtain statutory property-tax exemptions.
2026 historic-property timing: the Assessor’s published guidance says applications filed by June 30, 2026 were considered for tax year 2027. Applications after June 30 generally apply to tax year 2028. Check the live program instructions for exceptions and documentation requirements.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
