Bulk Data Downloads Now Free and Easily Accessible
In a continued effort to increase transparency and expand public access to property information, the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office has launched a new online resource allowing users to freely download detailed datasets and bulk property reports directly from the Assessor’s website. These datasets, previously available only through formal requests or for purchase, are now accessible with just a few clicks.
For years, producing these reports required significant time and staff resources. With the implementation of the AA-GAMA assessment system in October 2022, the Assessor’s Office can now generate these datasets through automated processes, making public access faster, easier, and more efficient.
“This is another step forward in our commitment to transparency and exceptional customer service,” said Maricopa County Assessor Eddie Cook. “Our team has worked hard to modernize our systems so property owners and members of the public can get the information they need without barriers, delays, or unnecessary costs. Making these datasets freely available helps ensure our property tax system remains open, accessible, and easy to understand.”
There are over a dozen reports and bulk files offered on the new Data Downloads page, including Geospatial data. Users can still access parcel-specific or individual account information by searching for and selecting the particular property on the Assessor’s Office website.
Members of the public who need information not included in the standard downloads can contact the Assessor’s Office for assistance at [email protected].

2027 Notices of Value Mailed to Nearly 1.75 Million Property Owners
The Maricopa County Assessor’s Office is delivering Notices of Value to nearly 1.75 million property owners this week, about 12,000 more than last year. Values for real property, or parcels, are established a year in advance in Arizona, so these Notices will apply to the 2027 tax year.
The Assessor’s Office determines two values every year for each property – Full Cash Value and Limited Property Value.
Full Cash Value (FCV) reflects market conditions and can change by any amount annually. Due to recent shifts in the real estate market, the median FCV decreased for three property types, while three experienced increases.
The three property types seeing dips in median FCVs are Single Family Residential (-1.9%), Condominiums (-3.5%), and Apartments (-8.9%). Meanwhile, Manufactured Housing, Commercial, and Vacant Land have median FCV increases of 2.7%, 4.1%, and 5.2%, respectively.
The total FCV of all real property in Maricopa County for tax year 2027 is more than $1.14 trillion.
“We know a person’s home, business, or land is often their most treasured asset, so Notices of Value can raise important questions for property owners,” said Maricopa County Assessor Eddie Cook. “That is even more likely with this Notice, as some property types saw modest decreases and others experienced increases. Our team works year-round to ensure property values are accurate, consistent, based on verified market data, and comply with Arizona law.”
The other key number listed on the Notice is Limited Property Value (LPV), which is used to calculate property taxes. The median LPV of all property types continued to rise due to Proposition 117.
Since going into effect in 2015, voter-approved Proposition 117 has governed how LPV is calculated. If there are no significant changes to the property or its use, the LPV can increase by up to 5% but never exceed the FCV.
“Although market values may fluctuate, Arizona’s Proposition 117 continues to provide important protections for property owners by limiting how much taxable value can increase each year,” said Assessor Cook. “That safeguard remains a key part of ensuring stability and predictability in the property tax system.”
If a property owner believes their property has received an improper FCV or legal classification, they have 60 days after the mailing date to file an administrative appeal with the Assessor’s Office. LPV cannot be appealed.
“I encourage every property owner to review their Notice carefully and reach out to our office if they need assistance — we are here to help,” said Assessor Cook.
The Maricopa County Assessor's Office website offers resources such as FAQs and educational videos to help property owners better understand the valuation process and the factors that influence property values.

Data used in the calculation of median values is from Jan. 28, 2026, and may change. This is an ongoing process which reflects market conditions.
All exempt property, new construction, additions, deletions, alterations, or any change in use have been removed from this analysis.
The Business Personal Property Statutory Exemption is increasing to $500,000 in Tax Year 2026 for qualifying Class 1 and Class 2 Personal Property types.
Business Personal Property Statement Mailed with Updated Exemption Amount
The Business Personal Property Statutory Exemption is increasing to $500,000 in Tax Year 2026 for qualifying Class 1 and Class 2 Personal Property types.
If the Business Personal Property (BPP) had a Full Cash Value (FCV) below the $500,000 threshold as of Dec. 31, 2025, and assets have not been acquired that result in a FCV above the statutory exemption, the BPP owner may not need to file an Arizona Business Personal Property Statement (AZDOR 82520 form).
If the FCV for 2025 was over $500,000, or if under $500,000 but assets acquired since caused the value to exceed the exemption amount, BPP owners shoulde-file their 2026 BPP Statement.
We mailed the BPP Statement (AZDOR 82520 form) to all businesses in Maricopa County on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026.
The deadline to file the BPP Statement is Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office Business Personal Property Unit at602-506-3386 or [email protected].
