What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

How this is calculated

The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

About Greenlee County, AZ

Greenlee County’s effective property tax rate of 0.327% sits well below Arizona’s statewide median of 0.514%, and ranks last among the state’s 15 counties — the lowest rate in Arizona. That gap shows up in real dollars: the median annual tax bill here is $518 on a median home value of $158,600, even though median household income reaches $71,164 and per-capita income is $32,045. Against the national median of 0.794%, the county’s rate is less than half. For homeowners in Duncan, Morenci, and Blue, that combination of a low rate and solid incomes means property taxes take an unusually small share of what households earn. Ranking 15th of 15 signals that Greenlee leans on other revenue sources or simply keeps local levies restrained compared with the rest of the state.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Greenlee County, AZ?
The effective rate is 0.33% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.33% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($158,600), the estimated annual bill is about $518.
Is Greenlee County's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 0.51% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Greenlee County assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Greenlee County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
