Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Coconino County as reported to the Census Bureau; your parcel can differ. Not tax, legal, or financial advice: check the county assessor or a qualified professional before decisions that depend on these numbers.
The rate gave way faster than almost anywhere
Between the 2020 and 2024 releases the median home value in Coconino County rose 49.8%, from $299,100 to $448,000. The effective rate fell 19.1% over the same span, a steeper move than in 79% of U.S. counties.
The median bill still rose 21.2%, to $2,051. Where the rate drops this far and the bill rises anyway, what changed is the value the rate is applied to.
Effective rate is the published median bill divided by the published median home value, so the two multiply back to the bill exactly; the rate's movement here is derived from those two figures rather than read from the rounded published rate. Both are ACS 5-year survey estimates for the median owner-occupied household, compared across non-overlapping releases. They describe what the Census published, not a local policy, assessment, or exemption change.
How to read this county's bill
Bills rose across 2020-2024, from $1,692 to $2,051, a gain of 21%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The plurality of owner-occupied homes here falls in the $2,000 to $2,999 band, at 7,767 of 32,909 (23.6%). This shows the reported distribution around the county median, while individual assessments can vary.
Incomes run above the national midpoint and the rate is in the lowest quarter, leaving the median bill at 2.8% of median household income. Both figures move in the same direction here, so the ratio above is not pulled in two directions the way it is in most counties.
The share above is the median annual bill divided by median household income, a ratio of two county-level medians rather than a household-by-household figure.
Paying off the mortgage changes the picture here
33.4% of Coconino County homes owned free and clear (5,417 of 16,208) report no property tax at all, against 4.3% of homes still carrying a mortgage. A reported zero is not proof of an exemption: it can equally mean a bill paid by another party, or a reporting artefact. But a gap this size is where age- and disability-based relief usually shows up, because those programmes reach owners who have finished paying.
What Coconino County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Coconino County homeowners, 7,767 of 32,909 owner-occupied homes (23.6%), pays $2,000 to $2,999 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.
- Less than $800 13.3% (4,377)
- $800 to $1,499 15.7% (5,153)
- $1,500 to $1,999 10.5% (3,462)
- $2,000 to $2,999 23.6% (7,767)
- $3,000 or more 18.3% (6,021)
Census ACS 2024, table B25102. Bands and the no-tax share sum to 100%.
6,129 homes here (18.6%) report no real estate tax at all, a sizeable minority for a county this size. Exemptions are set by state: how Arizona handles assessments and appeals.
With vs Without Mortgage
In Coconino County, mortgaged homeowners pay 11% more than those without a mortgage, a gap that typically tracks higher home values rather than a different tax rate.

Close to the Arizona median on both measures
Rate and bill both land within 10% of the Arizona medians here, which makes Coconino County a reasonable stand-in for the state when comparing against counties elsewhere. It also means the county-level figure adds little beyond the state figure for this particular comparison; the $2,051 median bill and the state median tell substantially the same story.

Each row is a separate ACS 5-year release, and consecutive releases share four of their five survey years. The percentage beside each bill is therefore movement in the published estimate against the previous release, not a single year's tax change. The two releases largely describe the same households. For change over time, compare releases that do not overlap.
