Mohave County

What Mohave County does

Mohave County is a county government entity established in 1864 and headquartered in Kingman, Arizona, serving roughly 220,000 residents across 13,470 square miles in northwestern Arizona. It is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors elected from single-member districts and operates with 501–1,000 employees organized into functional departments providing public safety, property assessment and tax collection, recording of vital and property documents, permitting and code enforcement, public health, elections administration, road and infrastructure maintenance, and community development programs.

The county's core digital and operational platforms include a publicly accessible mohave.gov portal with online payments, GIS-based parcel lookup, SmartGov-powered electronic permitting, eNoticesOnline for electronic document recording, an OpenGov-backed transparency and ARPA projects dashboard, and a TV Translator District operating public-broadcasting infrastructure. The Recorder's Office maintains statutory document indexes dating back to 1988, and the Assessor maintains the authoritative parcel-level property dataset for the entire county.

Mohave County is funded primarily through property taxes, supplemented by recording fees, permitting and license fees, tax-lien sale proceeds, and intergovernmental transfers from state and federal sources including American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocations. As a governmental entity rather than a commercial enterprise, it does not generate revenue from product sales or investor capital; its operating model is a tax-and-fee-funded public agency delivering mandated services on a cost-recovery basis under Arizona state law.
