Who sends the property tax bill in Pinal County, and how do you pay it?
The bill comes from the Pinal County Treasurer's Office. The value it is based on is set by a separate office, the Pinal County Assessor's Office, which is who to ask if the value looks wrong. For how to look up and pay the bill, go to the county's own payment information.
Tax statements are mailed in mid-September, but state law does not require the Treasurer to mail one, so paying on time is the owner's responsibility even if no bill arrives. The Assessor's Notice of Valuation sets the value for a later tax year, not the bill you are paying now. A mobile home is taxed separately from the land under it, so an owner can get two bills. If your mortgage company pays from escrow, it gets the amount from the Treasurer and you receive a statement for your information only. Wire transfers and online banking bill-pay are accepted; bill-pay payments must be scheduled to reach the office by the due date shown on the bill.
