Navajo County property owners who are widows, widowers, disabled individuals, or senior citizens on fixed or limited incomes may be eligible for property tax exemptions and reductions. The application period for these benefits runs from January 1, 2026, to February 28, 2026. Eligible applicants include widows, widowers, disabled veterans or persons who meet certain income and property value criteria. Non-profit organizations can also apply during this time.
First-time applicants must appear in person at the Assessor’s Office to sign the required documents in front of staff. “We want to make this process as accessible and convenient as possible, so we have employees at the Holbrook office Monday through Friday, Tuesdays in Show Low, and the 2nd Tuesday monthly in Heber/Overgaard and Winslow,” according to the Assessor’s Office.
Applications can be submitted at several locations:
– At the Navajo County Complex in Holbrook on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
– At the Show Low office on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
– At Heber or Winslow offices on the second Tuesday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon and from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Assessor’s Office personnel will also be available at local senior centers throughout February on scheduled dates.
Those previously approved for an exemption will receive renewal documents by mail at their last known address; they must sign and return the blue form for renewal.
Property owners over age 65 are encouraged to apply for the Senior Property Valuation Freeze during this period if they meet qualifying factors. Information about this program is available by mail or email upon request.
For questions about eligibility or application requirements, residents can contact the Assessor’s staff by phone at (928) 524-4086 during business hours or by email.
While information about property tax exemptions is being distributed across Navajo County communities, recent data shows ongoing challenges in local education outcomes. For example, only about one-quarter of students in grades three through eight passed the mathematics section of state assessments during the most recent school year https://www.azed.gov/.
