What is 2026 AZ Business Personal Property Statement – Mohave County, AZ?
The 2026 AZ Business Personal Property Statement, printed on the form as the 2026 Arizona Business Property Statement, is the Mohave County Assessor's confidential statement on which a business reports the acquisition cost of its personal property for tax year 2026, including additions, deletions and leasehold improvements.
The form has four sections:
- Section 1 is for a new business or a change in business name or address.
- Section 2 lists the acquisition cost of property reported last year, by schedule and year acquired. The Assessor fills it in, and you do not correct it.
- Section 3 is where you enter additions, deletions and leasehold improvements, by year acquired and whether the property was new or used.
- Section 4 covers additional information: lists of leased, rented or unowned property, property on government land, an optional exemption request, and the signature.
The form states that the statement is subject to audit by the Assessor. It also says that statements filed with the assessor may be used as evidence in any prosecution brought under A.R.S. § 42-15055, and may be penalized if property is found to be under-reported or to have escaped taxation. The statutes it cites are A.R.S. § 42-15052 through § 42-15055 and § 42-11002. Shaded areas of the form are for the Assessor's use only.
Who needs to file 2026 AZ Business Personal Property Statement – Mohave County, AZ?
Businesses that receive this statement from the Mohave County Assessor complete it and return it to the Assessor. The property owner or an authorized agent signs it, affirming that it is a full, true and complete statement of property that is claimed by, or in the possession or control of, the signer, and that it can be verified from the business's records.
- New businesses and businesses with a change of name or address complete Section 1. Everyone else leaves Section 1 alone and does not alter the address area at the top.
- Businesses with qualifying property below the exemption are not required to report its value if it does not exceed the current year maximum exemption. The form still advises a complete and full report of all assets, because it helps ensure the exemption is applied correctly and the valuation is accurate.
- Businesses claiming the exemption check the box in Section 4, ask the assessor to calculate it, and name the county where it should be applied. A business claiming it in multiple counties submits a list with Supplemental Information.
The form warns that accounts not subject to filing requirements may still be audited.
When to file 2026 AZ Business Personal Property Statement – Mohave County, AZ

How to fill out 2026 AZ Business Personal Property Statement – Mohave County, AZ
Check the header and tax year
Confirm the tax year is 2026 and note the date the header gives for returning the statement. Do not change the address area at the top; the form says to use Section 1 for changes.

Leave Section 2 as printed
Section 2 shows the acquisition cost of property reported last year by schedule, year and class code. Do not correct it; make every change in Section 3.

Under ADDITIONS, enter the year acquired, whether the property was new or used, and the total acquisition cost in the columns for furniture, computers, electronic equipment, fixtures, machinery and equipment, and other (describe).
Enter deletions in Section 3
Under DELETIONS, use the same columns to enter the year acquired and acquisition cost of property you no longer have.
List leasehold improvements
Under LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS, enter the year acquired, new or used, and a property description for each improvement.
Complete the Section 4 attachments
Check each box that applies: leased or rented property, unowned property, or government-owned land. Prepare and attach the matching list.
Request the exemption if you want it
Check the box to submit a complete listing and ask the assessor to calculate any applicable exemption. Write the county where it should be applied; for multiple counties, include a list with Supplemental Information.

Common mistakes to avoid

- Returning the statement after the required date, which the form says brings a penalty under A.R.S. § 42-15053(G)(2).
- Leaving out the lists for leased or rented property, unowned property or government-owned land that Section 4 requires when they apply.
- Requesting the exemption without naming the county where it should be applied, or claiming it in multiple counties without a list in Supplemental Information.
- Sending the form unsigned, or without the printed name of the property owner or authorized agent.
- Returning the original without keeping a copy of both sides for your own files.
