This bill proposes updates to sections 42-16252 and 42-16254 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding property tax procedures. It introduces provisions that allow tax officers to accept electronic responses and notices of claim from taxpayers, enhancing the efficiency of communication. Specifically, if a taxpayer opts to submit their response or notice electronically, the tax officer is required to acknowledge receipt and may communicate further electronically, with the exception of notices that must be sent via certified mail.

Additionally, the bill removes outdated language that previously mandated electronic acknowledgments only for notices of claim, thereby broadening the scope to include responses to proposed corrections as well. The time limits and procedural requirements for written communications will also apply to these new electronic communications, ensuring consistency in the handling of both traditional and electronic submissions.
