Best Use of the Office
Know the task before you drive downtown
The office is in downtown Tucson, off Stone Avenue between Toole Avenue and Alameda Street. If you are calling from another state, remember that Arizona does not observe daylight saving time. That matters when you call near the 5:00 pm delinquency deadline.
How to Pay Pima County Property Taxes Online
Use the official Pima County Treasurer website to search your tax account and pay. Do not rely on random payment links from ads or copied directory pages.
The payment process should start with account verification. A property tax record can show state code, parcel number, prior-year amounts, delinquency, lien sale status, mortgage payment assumptions, or mailing address problems. Before you pay, confirm that the account, parcel, tax year and owner details match your property.
Open the official Pima County Treasurer payment page
Start from to.pima.gov/payment. This is the official Treasurer payment information page with due dates, mail instructions and online payment direction.
Search by state code, parcel or tax account
Use the official Property Inquiry page if you need to look up a tax account. If you do not know the state code or parcel number, use the official search help path before paying.
Confirm the account before checkout
Match owner name, property address, state code, parcel number, tax year, amount due, and whether you are paying first half, second half, full year, delinquent tax or redeemed lien.
Review convenience fees
The official general information page states online payments are credited within 24 to 48 hours and lists convenience fees, including a small eCheck transaction fee and a percentage fee for other online methods.
Save your confirmation
Save a receipt, confirmation page, bank proof, or screenshot showing the tax year, amount, account, date and payment method. Keep it until your account shows the correct paid status.

Open Property InquiryHow to Search a Pima County Tax Account Before Paying
Searching first helps you avoid paying the wrong parcel, wrong tax year, wrong half-year installment, or a delinquent account that needs special handling.
State code / parcel search
The Treasurer’s Property Inquiry page is built around state code and parcel search. Use details from your bill, deed, tax statement, escrow paperwork or Assessor record.
Property search
If you do not know the state code, use the property search path to find the parcel first. Check address format carefully, especially for Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita and unincorporated Pima County addresses.
Mortgage or title company check
If you have a mortgage or recently purchased property, official Treasurer guidance says to check with your mortgage or title company to determine who is responsible for payment.
Details to match
- State code or parcel number
- Owner or taxpayer name
- Property address
- Tax year
- First-half, second-half or full-year amount
Red flags before payment
- Wrong parcel or address
- Unexpected prior-year delinquency
- Mortgage company expected to pay
- Lien sale or redemption status
- Mailing address not current
Micro-level tip for Tucson-area owners
If your property is in Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Vail, Ajo, Catalina Foothills or unincorporated Pima County, the property tax payment still routes through the Pima County Treasurer. City name does not mean a separate city tax collector handles county property tax collection.
Pima County Treasurer Office Hours, Holiday Warning and Best Time to Call
The official Pima County Treasurer site lists office hours as Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM MST. The office is closed for all Federal Holidays.
Hours are not the same as a guarantee that a complicated payment issue can be fixed at the last minute. Delinquent lien redemption, tax roll corrections, mailed payment timing, bank wire questions, mortgage payment confusion or a wrong parcel issue may need more time than a simple walk-in payment.
Best time to call
Call earlier in the business day. This is especially important around November 1, December 31 and May 1 deadlines, when taxpayer calls can increase.
Out-of-state caller warning
Arizona does not observe daylight saving time. If you call from another state, confirm the current Arizona time before relying on a 5:00 pm deadline.
Deadline-day warning
Do not wait until the afternoon of a delinquency date. Online posting, bank limits, postmark issues and account lookup problems can create late-payment risk.
Have this ready before calling 520-724-8341
- State code or parcel number.
- Tax year and installment you are asking about.
- Property address.
- Owner name, trust name, estate name or business name if relevant.

Pima County Property Tax Due Dates and Delinquency Dates
Pima County property taxes are usually payable in two installments when the total is greater than $100: first half due October 1 and second half due March 1.
First half taxes
The first installment is due October 1 and becomes delinquent after 5:00 pm on November 1 if not paid or properly postmarked on time.
Second half taxes
The second installment is due March 1 and becomes delinquent after 5:00 pm on May 1 if not paid or properly postmarked on time.
Full-year payment
Pima County states that if the full tax year is paid by December 31, interest on the unpaid first-half balance is waived. Verify your statement if your tax amount is $100 or less.
If the deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday
The Treasurer’s general information page explains that if a delinquency date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, taxes become delinquent at 5:00 pm the next business day. That does not mean you should wait. Pay early when possible, especially by mail.
If you did not receive a tax statement
Pima County mails tax statements each September to the address on the Assessment and Tax Roll. If you did not receive a statement, search your property online and contact the Treasurer or Assessor as needed. A missing statement does not make the tax disappear.
Pima County Tax Payment Options: Online, Mail, In Person and Wire
The best payment method depends on deadline timing, fee tolerance, proof needs and whether the account is current or delinquent.

Pima County Delinquent Taxes, Interest, Tax Lien Sale and Redemption
Once taxes are delinquent, payment rules become more serious. Interest, penalties, lien sale status and redemption rules can affect the amount and payment path.
The Treasurer’s FAQ explains that once the delinquency date has passed, interest starts to accrue at a statutory rate of 16% per year prorated monthly. For taxes not paid before January of the following year, an additional $5.00 or 5% penalty may be assessed. In February, delinquent tax liens can be offered for sale at the Delinquent Tax Lien Sale.
Interest can grow monthly
Do not wait once a payment is delinquent. Interest is prorated monthly, and the Treasurer’s FAQ explains that a full month’s prorated charge can apply regardless of whether you pay early or late in that month.
Tax lien sale is not a property sale
Pima County explains that the delinquent tax lien sale sells the lien for delinquent taxes, not the property itself. But lien sale can still become serious if not handled.
Redemption must be handled carefully
If a tax lien has been sold, delinquent taxes, interest, penalties and fees must be paid in full according to state law. Contact the Treasurer before guessing.
What to do if you are already delinquent
Search the tax account
Find the state code, parcel, tax year, installment, delinquent balance and whether lien sale or redemption status appears.
Call the Treasurer before partial payment
Partial payment of delinquent tax liens is not allowed by law. Confirm the minimum amount the office can accept before sending money.
Get proof after payoff
After paying a delinquent or redeemed lien, save proof showing the exact parcel, tax year, amount, date and status. This can matter for title or refinance.
Pima County Treasurer vs Assessor: Do Not Call the Wrong Office
The Treasurer collects taxes. The Assessor handles property valuation, ownership records, mailing address changes, exemptions and many property record questions.
Call Treasurer when…
You need to pay property taxes, confirm a balance, ask about due dates, get a receipt, resolve delinquent taxes, ask about lien redemption, or discuss payment methods.
Call Assessor when…
Your mailing address is wrong, property value looks wrong, exemption status is missing, ownership record needs review, or you need valuation relief or appeal guidance.
Pima County Assessor
The Assessor’s official site lists 240 N Stone Ave, Tucson, AZ 85701, phone 520-724-8630, and Mon-Fri 8am-5pm hours.
Open Assessor SiteMailing address change
Pima County Treasurer pages direct property owner mailing address changes to the Pima County Assessor’s Office.

If your issue is property value or an assessment decision, start with the Assessor appeals page instead of the Treasurer payment counter.
Open Appeals PageWhat if Your Mortgage or Title Company Should Pay Pima County Taxes?
Pima County’s general tax guidance tells property owners with a mortgage or recent purchase to check with the mortgage or title company to determine who is responsible for the tax payment.
If your mortgage company pays
- Search the official Treasurer account before each deadline.
- Check your escrow disbursement history.
- Ask your servicer for payment date and proof if the county still shows unpaid.
- Save all payment and call records.
If you recently bought property
- Review your closing statement.
- Check whether taxes were prorated.
- Confirm if buyer, seller, lender or title company is paying.
- Verify the Treasurer account directly before deadline.
Closing proration is not always payment
A closing statement can show a tax credit between buyer and seller without meaning the Treasurer already received payment. Search the official Pima County tax account and keep proof.
