There, property owners and concerned citizens learned more about how they can take advantage of Yavapai County’s property taxation under Arizona Revised Statutes agricultural classification, which now includes an equine designation as well.
State Sen. Steve Pierce, state Rep. Karen Fann, both R-Prescott, Yavapai County Assessor Pamela Pearsall, equine assessor specialist Linda Bruner, Yavapai County Development Dervices Director Steve Mauk and Basilio Aja, with the Arizona Cattlemen’s Association, explained the county and state’s roles in the agricultural and equine classification process to those in attendance, particularly when it comes to how a property owner can qualify for it.
