A.R.S. § 42-18106: Delinquent Tax Lien Sale
Delinquent tax list and notice of sale
How does an Arizona property tax lien sale work?
In Arizona, by December 31 each year, the county treasurer must prepare a list of all real property with unpaid delinquent taxes from prior years, along with a notice that a tax lien on each parcel will be sold at public auction, and the notice must include the owner's name, parcel and account numbers, the delinquent tax years, and the amounts owed.
