Assessor's Office Named 2023 Top Workplace in Arizona

MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. (July 14, 2023) - We are thrilled to announce the Maricopa County Assessor's Office has been named a 2023 Top Workplace in Arizona. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through Energage’s third-party survey.

The confidential survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization including appreciation, execution, and connection.

Over 84% of our team participated and shared many comments detailing why they believe the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office is a great place to work.

“It has always been important to me that we create a high-performing, highly effective team, but I wanted to make sure they feel valued,” said Maricopa County Assessor Eddie Cook. “The fact that this a top workplace, not just in government but in Arizona, is truly a reflection of everyone’s dedication to this team and our community.”

Being named a Top Workplace is a big deal – only 137 organizations made this year’s list, and it accomplishes one of our office’s top goals in our comprehensive Strategic Plan.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

Notices of Claim Now Accepted Digitally

MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. (July 11, 2023) - Maricopa County property owners now have another way to virtually access and file a Taxpayer Notice of Claim with our office. A Notice of Claim is a statutory process that allows the property owner to notify the Assessor’s Office when they discover a factual error regarding their property information for up to three years back. This could include wrong information on square footage, improvements, personal property, or legal classification.

As of July 11, 2023, there are two ways to file a Notice of Claim online with the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office. First, through the Assessor’s Office website, property owners can complete and submit one through DocuSign. Property owners can also download and complete the required Department of Revenue Form and email it to the designated inbox, ASR.Claims@maricopa.gov. Notices of Claim will still be accepted by mail, but they must be sent by Certified Mail to the following address:

Notices of Claim submitted via email MUST be sent to ASR.Claims@maricopa.gov and cannot be accepted if sent to another email address. Our office will respond to the Notice within 60 days from receiving it, whether online via DocuSign or email or Certified Mail. The Assessor’s Office decision, whether to consent or dispute the taxpayer’s Notice, will be mailed in a letter to the property owner’s address or their designated authorized agent. Property owners can submit a Notice of Claim for tax years 2020 to 2023.

This digital option was made possible when SB 1266 was signed into law last year, allowing Notices of Claim and Petitions for Review to be accepted electronically. Maricopa County Assessor Eddie Cook was instrumental in passing the bill, saying, “It has been important to me since Day 1 to find ways that our office can continue to provide the best service to property owners at the lowest expense to the taxpayer. Offering digital solutions along with conventional paper and in-person processes is a top priority.” Since then, our office has been creating the necessary framework and procedures for accepting Notices of Claim online and are excited to debut the new service.
