Valuation cap or growth limit

Arizona's Limited Property Value (LPV) is generally restricted to a 5% annual increase; statutory exceptions, including qualifying new construction, may produce a larger increase.

Build the objection around evidence and the notice date.

01

Calendar the window

Use the valuation notice and the county’s published protest guidance to determine the last day to file. Do not assume the payment deadline controls the appeal.

02

Assemble support

Gather comparable sales, photographs, repair records, appraisal evidence, property characteristics, and any documentation that explains why the assessed value is incorrect.

03

File and preserve proof

Submit through the official channel, save the confirmation, and attend the board or review hearing if one is scheduled. An appraiser or attorney can help evaluate evidence when the value or stakes are substantial.

The reviewed protest guidance for this county is: Within 60 days after the Annual Notice of Value mailing date/deadline printed on the notice. If the language is not a specific calendar date, contact the office promptly for the current notice and board-review schedule.
