About 200,000 residential Maricopa County properties had to be revalued and hundreds of entities must pay back property tax dollars as a result of a class-action lawsuit.
The lawsuit — Qasimyar v. Maricopa County — stems from a resident challenging the way the county calculated how it charged residential homeowners for property taxes.
The resident who challenged the calculation — Ahmad Zaky Qasimyar — said the county incorrectly taxed the effected properties, which had a change in use from a primary residence to a non-primary residence or vice-versa from 2015 to 2021.
