Find the Right Pima County Parcel
Search Pima County Assessor records by parcel, address or owner name, use PimaMaps when location matters, then switch to the Treasurer for the actual tax bill and the Recorder when you need a deed or other recorded land document.
This guide explains exact parcel-code and street-search formats, 2026 versus 2027 valuation dates, appeal steps, current Senior Freeze rules, exemptions, tax-payment troubleshooting, mailing-address changes and what to do when a property search returns the wrong result.
Fast Answer: Assessor, PimaMaps, Treasurer or Recorder?
Use the Pima County Assessor for owner/address/parcel records, Full Cash Value, Limited Value, classification, valuation relief and assessment appeals. Use PimaMaps for map-based parcel context. Use the Treasurer for tax statements, balances, ZIP-code/address tax searches and payments. Use the Recorder for deeds, liens and recorded land documents.
Choose the Correct Pima County Property Database
Searching the right office first is more useful than trying the same owner or address in every county portal.
Value, owner or assessment record
Use the Assessor for parcel details, owner information, property address, valuation, property class, Limited Value, relief programs and assessment appeals.
Official Pima County Assessor Open Assessor Property SearchParcel location or map
Use PimaMaps and county GIS parcel search when an address is uncertain, you need surrounding-parcel context, or you want a map-oriented search.
Official Pima County GIS Open PimaMapsTax balance, statement or payment
Use the Treasurer when you need the actual tax amount, payment status, tax history or a tax search by state code, parcel, owner, mailing address or property address.

Use the Recorder when the appraisal owner field is not enough and you need the recorded instrument itself.
Official Pima County Recorder Search Recorded DocumentsHow to Search Pima County Property Records
Use this sequence for the quickest reliable search whether you begin with a street address, owner name or parcel code.
Open the official Assessor search
The Assessor’s current search accepts a parcel, address or name. Use an official county system rather than entering personal property details into a paid advertisement.
Start with one clean identifier
Use the parcel code when available. Otherwise try the address or owner name without adding unnecessary fields.
Retry with county-specific formatting
For GIS address search, the street number alone can be the easiest starting point. For detailed street search, omit the trailing street type when uncertain. For name search, use last name followed by first name.
Confirm the exact parcel
Match the address, parcel/state code, owner context, property description and map location before relying on the result.
Check the valuation or tax year
A notice received in 2026 can be a 2027 Notice of Value, while the 2026 tax bill is paid later in 2026 and 2027. Verify the year before comparing numbers.
Move to the final-action office
Use PimaMaps for map context, the Treasurer for the actual tax account, the Assessor for appeals/relief and the Recorder for recorded documents.
Pima County Assessor Property Search by Address
Pima’s GIS tools provide unusually specific address-search instructions. Use them when the main Assessor search gives too many or too few results.
Address search |
What to enter |
Best troubleshooting move |
|---|---|---|
Fast GIS address lookup |
Just the street number. |
Choose the desired street address from the returned list. |
Detailed street search |
Street name is required; street number and N/S/E/W direction are optional. |
Use only the first part of the street name if the full name fails. |
Street type |
AV, RD, ST and similar suffixes are not always necessary. |
County GIS specifically recommends omitting the trailing street type when uncertain. |
Address + map |
Find the parcel first, then open its map/detail links. |
Use PimaMaps when you recognize the location visually but not the exact official address. |
Treasurer tax address |
Property location, address range or mailing-address fields in the Treasurer search. |
Use ZIP code or taxpayer/Assessor-account information to narrow a tax search when offered. |
Pima County Assessor Property Search by Name
The main Assessor supports name searching. The GIS Parcel Information Search also documents how its taxpayer-name field is formatted.
Individual owner search
- Enter the last name, a space, then the first name.
- The GIS search is not case-sensitive.
- A partial first name can work, such as doe j.
- Data follows the grantee name carried from deed information.
If the new owner is missing
- Search the property address or parcel code.
- Try the prior recorded owner after a recent transfer.
- Check the Recorder when legal ownership history matters.
- Do not treat an assessor-name mismatch as a title decision.
Pima County Assessor Parcel Search: Decode the Parcel Code
Parcel-code searching is usually more precise than an owner or street search because it identifies the specific assessment parcel.
Accepted GIS parcel-code formats
The county GIS search describes the parcel code as eight numeric characters plus a final alpha/numeric character for a total of nine positions. It accepts the compact or dashed version.
Compact format
11711001B
Formatted version
117-11-001B
When the parcel code is especially useful
- Two owners have similar names.
- A parcel has no conventional street address.
- You are researching vacant land.
- A mailing address differs from the property location.
- You need to connect Assessor, GIS, tax and deed research.
- A street was renamed or renumbered.
Pima County Assessor Property Search Map: Use PimaMaps
PimaMaps is the county’s current-generation web mapping system and works on modern browsers, tablets and phones.
PimaMaps Main
Use the general map for core parcel and county GIS layers when you need property-location context rather than only a text result.
PimaMaps Survey
Use the more survey-oriented map configuration when additional land/survey-related GIS layers are relevant to your research.
Old Pima MapGuide Link Not Working? It Was Discontinued
Old articles, saved bookmarks and government documents can still contain MapGuide links. Do not keep retrying an obsolete MapGuide property map.
Some legacy references remain online, which is why a Google result or old bookmarked URL can still mention MapGuide even though the correct current mapping system is PimaMaps.
Official Pima County GIS replacement notice Read MapGuide Replacement NoticeUnderstand FCV, Limited Value and Assessed Value
One parcel can show several different value concepts. The figure used for an appraisal notice is not automatically the same as the amount on the Treasurer’s bill.
Field |
What it means for your research |
Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
Full Cash Value (FCV) |
The Assessor’s applicable full-cash/market valuation concept for the property. |
That FCV by itself is the final amount taxed. |
Limited Value / LPV |
A statutorily calculated value used in Arizona’s property-tax system and relevant to many primary-tax calculations. |
That it must move exactly with market value every year. |
Property class |
Classification affects the assessment framework applied to the property. |
That residential, commercial and other classes use identical treatment. |
Assessed value |
A tax-calculation value derived through Arizona’s assessment/classification system. |
That it equals the Assessor’s headline market value. |
Owner |
The ownership information currently carried by the Assessor. |
That it replaces the recorded deed or title examination. |
Property address |
The situs/location associated with the parcel. |
That it is the same as the tax-bill mailing address. |

How Pima County Property Assessment Appeals Work
The regular 2027 Notice of Value appeal deadline has passed, but other notice/correction procedures can operate on different deadlines.
Petition for Review
Used to challenge the annual Notice of Value mailed on or before March 1. A petition to the Assessor is normally due within 60 days of the notice mail date or by the deadline printed on the notice.
Supplemental / Notice of Change
A Notice of Change mailed later in the year uses a separate appeal route and deadline. Do not apply the expired April annual-notice deadline mechanically to every later notice.
Notice of Proposed Correction
A proposed correction can be mailed at other times of the year. Read the specific notice because its procedural rights and dates differ from the annual Notice of Value.
Owner Notice of Claim
An owner can use a statutory claim process for qualifying factual errors. A factual-error route is not simply a second chance to miss a normal market-value appeal deadline.
Normal annual appeal sequence
Read the Notice of Value
Confirm FCV, Limited Value, property class, parcel information and the appeal deadline printed on the notice.
Choose the valuation method or error
The Assessor requires the petition to identify the valuation method or basis supporting the requested change.
File by the notice deadline
A regular Petition for Review is generally due within 60 days after the Notice of Value mailing. USPS postmark can serve as evidence of timely filing.
Respond to the appraiser
The Assessor can review evidence, request information or inspect the property to verify valuation components.
Review the Assessor decision
The Assessor must rule on the normal annual petitions by August 15. Read the postmark and next-appeal rights immediately.
Escalate only if still eligible
If no agreement was reached and the request was not granted, the owner can generally appeal to the Board of Equalization within 25 days from the decision postmark or follow the applicable Tax Court route.
Build Better Evidence for a Pima County Valuation Appeal
The goal is not to provide the largest file. It is to show why the Assessor’s value, classification or property facts are wrong using the valuation method you selected.
Market approach
- Subject-property sale when relevant.
- Comparable sale price.
- Comparable location.
- Sale date.
- Material differences from the subject.
Replacement-cost approach
- Supportable construction/reconstruction cost.
- Land-value support.
- Condition and depreciation evidence.
- Property-characteristic corrections.
Factual errors
- Incorrect square footage.
- Wrong year built.
- Garage/carport error.
- Property-class issue.
- FCV or LPV calculation issue.
Residential owners use the applicable Arizona Department of Revenue residential Petition for Review form; Pima’s appeal page also links the forms for other real property, multiple parcels and agent authorization.
Senior Property Valuation Protection: September 1, 2026 Deadline
Often called the Senior Freeze, this program freezes a qualifying property’s Limited Value in three-year increments. It does not freeze Full Cash Value or the final property-tax bill.
2026 qualification checklist
- Applicant is at least 65 by the September 1 filing deadline.
- Applicant is listed as owner of record.
- Property has been the applicant’s primary residence for the previous two years.
- Applicant has only one primary residence.
- Property is not a rental, duplex, apartment or mixed-use property.
- Property is not larger than 10 acres.
2026 income limits
The three-year average of total household income from all sources, including nontaxable income, cannot exceed:
- $47,712 for a single owner.
- $59,640 for two or more owners contributing to household income.

Before You Rely on a Pima County Property Record
- Confirm the parcel/state code.
- Match the property address and map location.
- Check whether the owner record could lag a recent deed.
- Confirm whether you are viewing Tax Year 2026 or 2027.
- Separate FCV, Limited Value and the actual Treasurer tax bill.
- Use the Assessor—not the tax bill—to research a valuation appeal.
- Use the Treasurer—not the Assessor—to verify payment status.
- Use PimaMaps as a research map, not a legal survey.
- Use the Recorder when a deed or lien actually matters.
- Confirm changing deadlines and relief eligibility before submitting a form.

Recorder Public SearchPima County Assessor Property Search FAQs
How do I search Pima County property by address?
Use the Pima County Assessor or GIS Parcel Information Search. County GIS says searching only the street number can be the easiest and most accurate address route. In detailed street search, the street name is required, while street number and direction are optional, and omitting the trailing street type can help when the official abbreviation is uncertain.
Can I search Pima County property by owner name?
Yes. The Assessor search accepts a name, and the GIS taxpayer-name search uses last name followed by first name. Partial entries are allowed, so a search such as doe j can be used when a full first name does not match.
What format does a Pima County parcel code use?
The GIS Parcel Information Search accepts an eight-digit numeric portion followed by a final alpha/numeric character, for nine positions total. It accepts either a compact code such as 11711001B or a dashed version such as 117-11-001B.
Is the Pima County assessor property search free?
You can begin property research through the public Assessor, GIS, Treasurer and Recorder tools without buying a private property report. The Recorder also allows free document viewing and downloading, but those free images are low-resolution, watermarked and unofficial; clean or certified copies have fees.
Where is the current Pima County property search map?
Use PimaMaps, Pima County’s current-generation web mapping system. The older MapGuide system was discontinued, although old links and references to MapGuide can still appear online.
Can I search Pima County property taxes by address or ZIP code?
Yes. The Treasurer provides parcel/state-code, taxpayer or mailing-address, property-location and address-range searches, with additional fields that can include ZIP code, taxpayer number and Assessor account number.
What is the difference between the Pima County Assessor and Treasurer?
The Assessor values and classifies property, maintains assessment records and handles valuation appeals and relief programs. The Treasurer bills and collects property taxes and maintains tax-payment information.
Why did I receive a 2027 Pima County Notice of Value in 2026?
Pima County mailed the Tax Year 2027 Real Property Notices of Value on February 13, 2026. The normal petition deadline for those notices was April 14, 2026. That valuation cycle is different from the 2026 property-tax bill payable later in 2026 and 2027.
What is the 2026 Pima County Senior Freeze deadline?
The current Senior Property Valuation Protection application deadline is September 1, 2026. The program freezes a qualifying Limited Value in three-year increments; it does not freeze Full Cash Value or the final tax bill.
Is a PimaMaps parcel boundary a legal survey?
No. Pima GIS parcel mapping is designed for geographic and assessment research and uses mapping adjustments to improve relationships between features. Use recorded plats, deeds and an appropriate professional survey for legal boundary, easement or encroachment decisions.
Finish the Pima County Search with the Right Record
Start with the Assessor for property and valuation data, use the nine-position parcel code whenever possible, switch to PimaMaps for geographic context, and move to the Treasurer only when you need the actual tax account or payment.
In August 2026, pay special attention to the year printed on each record: the regular 2027 Notice of Value appeal window has closed, the Senior Freeze remains open through September 1, and the first half of the 2026 tax bill becomes payable October 1.
