Tax relief and valuation review

Protect your exemption and appeal rights.

A homestead exemption, senior-relief program, or valuation protest can change the amount a homeowner owes—but only if the filing reaches the right local office in the correct window. Use the verified county guidance below as your working checklist, then confirm the current form and deadline with Greenlee County Assessor's Office.

Relief programs

What the local record says

Homestead filing

The filing guidance for this county is: First Monday in January through the last day of February 2026; Senior Property Valuation Option applications were open January 1-September 1, 2026. Use the official form or application channel, provide the residence and ownership documentation requested, and keep a copy of the submission.

Open homestead application

Senior citizen tax relief

Senior Property Valuation Option: qualifying owners age 65 or older may freeze LPV for three years when the primary-residence, two-year residency, and statutory income requirements are met; taxes are not frozen. Apply January 1-September 1, 2026.

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.

Appealing an assessment

Build the objection around evidence and the notice date.

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.

Assemble support

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

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 verified protest guidance for this county is: April 24, 2026 for the 2027 real-property Notice of Value deadline published by the Assessor; otherwise follow the 60-day statutory period shown on the notice. If the language is not a specific calendar date, contact the office promptly for the current notice and board-review schedule.
