Owners of rental properties in Tempe and West Chandler, as well as their countywide neighbors, can face this year’s chore of registering their properties with the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office with a renewed sigh of relief: Assessor Paul Petersen says the office is again accepting and processing online rental registration forms.
Prior to this process being available, landlords had to submit their paperwork in person or by mail. Now, according to Petersen, owners may register their rental from the convenience of their home or office, and pay online as well with a new online payment system.
An owner with 10 or more properties now can register rentals at one time, using the assessor’s bulk registration process, which can be completed by downloading and completing an online spreadsheet and emailing it to pubasst@mail.maricopa.gov.
Payment must be submitted with the spreadsheet.
Said Petersen:
“Real estate professionals and real estate investors are some of the most frequent users of our services and our website especially. My priorities are streamlining processes, eliminating inefficiencies, and harnessing the potential of technology to truly serve our customers, the citizens of Maricopa County.”
Petersen said the system allows for the property owner, property manager or a designated statutory agent the ability to update, pay and confirm property registrations with ease and convenience saving on the costs of travel and waiting in line.
