Mohave County Treasurer SueAnn Mello
As your Mohave County Treasurer, I am committed to keeping you informed about how we safeguard public funds and support the county’s financial stability. Every resident deserves access to clear, reliable information about how their tax dollars are managed, and I appreciate the trust you place in this office. I am excited to share a few important updates on the work we are doing to continue improving the services you rely on.
Board of Supervisors Tax Deed Sale, 2019 – 2026:
* 10,477 severely delinquent parcels sold at auction and returned to the tax roll.
* Over $1MM in property taxes received for parcels returned to the tax roll.
* $14.1MM in revenue generated for Mohave County.
* $2.6MM in redemption payments received to bring accounts to “current” status.
Board of Supervisors Tax Deed Sale, 2026:
* 809 parcels were sent to auction.
* 803 parcels (99%) were sold.
* $2.8MM in revenue received.
Investments:
* My office takes a conservative approach to investing County funds.
* Examples of asset allocations include investments held in AZ State Local Government Investment Pools (LGIP) and United States Treasury securities which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.
* For fiscal year 2026, school districts, fire districts, special districts, and County funds have received over $12MM in investment income.
To make Treasury information easier for more residents to access, I am pleased to share that a link to a Spanish translation of the Treasurer’s website is now available. The new pages include the same key information as the English site—property tax payment details, tax lien information, office hours, and contact options. This update was completed using existing resources, with no additional cost to the county. To view the Spanish site, visit the Treasurer’s Office homepage and click “Español” in the menu.
In the coming months I will be working with our state legislators to pass common-sense legislation that supports you, the taxpayer, and meets the needs of local government. I look forward to serving you, the residents of Mohave County, for many years to come.
Reminder: Watch your mail/e-mail for your 2026 tax statement coming to you early October.
May God bless Mohave County!
SueAnn Mello
Mohave County Treasurer
