How a land sale works in Apache County
Where the deed is recorded
A deed for Apache County land is recorded with the Apache County Recorder in St. Johns, the county seat. Arizona law (A.R.S. § 11-1133) requires an affidavit of property value to accompany a deed when it is recorded, unless the deed carries a notation that an exemption applies; the recorder refuses to record a deed that lacks one. We prepare and file those documents for sellers.
Property taxes and what "delinquent" means
Property tax dates are set by state law, so they are the same in Apache County as everywhere in Arizona. The first half is due October 1 and is delinquent after 5:00 p.m. on November 1; the second half is due March 1 and is delinquent after 5:00 p.m. on May 1 (A.R.S. § 42-18052). Delinquent taxes accrue interest at sixteen percent per year, simple interest, until paid (A.R.S. § 42-18053).
Back taxes and tax liens
If taxes stay unpaid, the county treasurer can sell a tax lien on the parcel. The lien holder cannot foreclose right away: an action to foreclose the right to redeem may begin three years after the lien sale (A.R.S. § 42-18201). Owing back taxes does not stop you from selling to us.
Finding the parcel
Apache County identifies every parcel by an assessor's parcel number. If you have it, we can look the land up right away; if you only have an address, a tax bill or a description of where the land is, that is enough to start.
