Property Tax Assessment Guidelines and Manuals
Personal Property Manual The Personal Property Manual contains information pertaining to the identification, classification, valuation and assessment of locally assessed personal property in Arizona. The information in it is provided to assist personnel working to prepare annual valuations and assessments of taxable personal property. Revised November 2019.
Property Use Code Manual The Property Use Code Manual contains a brief description of the Department's property use code system, and provides a complete set of the currently available use codes (with their descriptions) that are applicable to various categories of property. A property use code identifies the predominant use of a parcel of real property (and in certain limited instances, other property characteristics are also identified). Property use codes help to provide County Assessors with an "inventory" of taxable property, and are also utilized to categorize, group and facilitate the comparison and analysis of various types of properties for a number of different purposes.
