What happened

Maricopa County's lease specifies that property taxes must be allocated based on the assessor's assessed value for the tenant's specific premises. The 2022 reconciliation includes a $148,600 property tax line item. Rule 10 flags this for verification against Maricopa County Assessor public records to confirm the correct pro-rata allocation was used.

Why this matters for your firm

Property tax provisions in government leases are frequently audited because public assessment records make verification straightforward. Overallocations occur when landlords use a blanket pro-rata share rather than the assessed value allocated to the specific premises.

Correction package excerpt
