The
Assessor's Office is composed of six divisions:
-
The Administrative Division of
the Assessors Office provides the leadership and strategic
vision to support the employees of the department so they
can achieve their departmental missions. This includes human
resource activity, litigation, procurement, budget and legislative tracking
and intergovernmental communication. The newest development
in this area is the formation of the internal audit group
that provides the County Assessor with an independent consulting
and investigative function to examine, evaluate, inspect,
critique and report assessor activities.
-
The GIS/Mapping Division provides
spatial data for the Assessors Office and for other County
agencies so they can analyze geographic information.

all aspects of the computing environment for the Assessor's
office including data center operations, end-user support,
web presence and applications/database maintenance.

values throughout the County. They provide property characteristics
and valuation information to external and internal customers,
ensuring compliance with Arizona State laws. The Real Property
Division also handles administrative appeal
regarding assessments.

customers.
