When are property taxes due in Mohave County?
For the 2026 bill, Mohave County splits the bill into 2 payments, the first due November 2, 2026 and the last May 3, 2027. A late half is charged interest at 16% a year, prorated monthly as of the first day of each month, and part of a month counts as a whole month. If you pay both halves in one payment by December 31, 2026, any interest that built up on a late first half after November 1 no longer applies. You owe the tax even if you never received a bill.
| Payment | Due | Note |
|---|---|---|
| First half (last day to pay without interest) | November 2, 2026 | The first half is legally due October 1, 2026, but no interest is charged until it becomes delinquent after 5 p.m. on November 1. November 1, 2026 is a Sunday, and state law and the Treasurer both move a delinquency date that falls on a weekend or legal holiday to 5 p.m. the next business day, so the deadline is 5 p.m. Monday, November 2, 2026. The Treasurer accepts a mailed payment by its postmark date. If the whole year's tax is $100 or less, it is all due October 1 and does not become delinquent until after 5 p.m. on December 31, 2026. |
| Second half (last day to pay without interest) | May 3, 2027 | The second half is legally due March 1, 2027, but no interest is charged until it becomes delinquent after 5 p.m. on May 1. May 1, 2027 is a Saturday, so the deadline moves to 5 p.m. Monday, May 3, 2027. |
