Restaurant growth (numbers below do not reflect fast foods).

These numbers tell a story about the growth of Mohave County. Your taxes are calculated by all property owners paying for a slice of the Mohave County pie, the more taxpayers that come to our county the smaller your slice of the pie. Thus, these numbers are very promising. Growth is always good for us when it comes to property taxes. When there are more people fighting for that slice of pie, it costs less.
Before I sign off, I wanted to remind you that September 1st is the deadline to apply for the Senior Property Valuation Protection Program (We call the Senior Freeze). Visit or call one of our Assessors offices today: Kingman (928)753-0703, LHC (928)453-0702, BHC (928)758-0701.
