Arizona Tax Court
The
Arizona Tax Court is a division of the
Maricopa
County Superior Court and was established in 1988. It hears almost all
tax disputes that are appealed to the Superior Court. It is also the only
lower court in Arizona allowed to publish its decisions. It has published
59 cases since 1988, although only one since 1994. The long
standing, although unwritten, rule is that its unpublished decisions may be
cited as precedent to the Court.
Thus, many recent decisions are unpublished, yet significant
To the extent available, they are at Unpublished Tax
Court Decisions below.
