Application for Combining or Un-Combining Assessor’s Parcel Numbers – Mohave County, AZ

The Application for Combining or Un-Combining Assessor’s Parcel Numbers is the Mohave County Assessor’s form for asking the Assessor’s Cartography Department to combine contiguous parcels, or to un-combine them, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number and signed by all owners.

The printed page has two parts: a list of five requirements and an Official Request Form. The request form collects the date, the name and phone number of the person making the request, a deed reference, the Assessor’s Parcel Number(s), the number of parcels being created, the owners’ signatures, a choice between Combine and Uncombine, and the acreage or square footage. A box marked For Official Use Only is reserved for the Assessor’s staff.

The requirements tie the request to the property records. A copy of the current deed is needed, taxes must be shown as paid in full before approval, and a property inside city limits needs the city’s approval first. A fee is due when the application is received. It depends on how many parcels are created, and an additional priority fee exists. The amounts are printed on the form.

The Mohave County Assessor’s Office locates, identifies and sets full cash value on taxable county property under Arizona Revised Statutes. The Cartography Department, which handles this form, is one of the office’s departments.

Owners of contiguous lots in Mohave County who want their Assessor’s Parcel Numbers combined, or previously combined parcels un-combined, use this form. Submit one form for each group of contiguous lots.

Conditions the form attaches to the request:

• Combining: the deeds must be of the same type and ownership must be exactly the same. The form gives examples such as joint tenants with acceptance, severalty (single owner), community property with acceptance, or in a trust. The parcels must also be in the same taxing area code.
• Property inside city limits: the city must approve first. The original signed approval goes to the Assessor’s Cartography Department with the square footage or acreage of the parcels affected.
• All owners: the request form needs the original signature of every owner.

The form does not describe who may sign for an owner or act as an agent. Ask the Cartography Department at (928) 753-0703 ext. 4611 if someone other than the owners will sign.

Submit the form when you want the Assessor to combine or un-combine parcels. The form prints no filing deadline.

Timing is set by the requirements. If the property is inside city limits, obtain the city’s approval before you apply. Proof that taxes have been paid in full must be provided before the combine or un-combine is approved. The fee is due upon receipt of the application, so include it with the package. The form gives no processing time. Contact the Cartography Department at (928) 753-0703 ext. 4611 for status.

The form is submitted by mail to the Assessor’s Cartography Department. The form names no other channel.
