The Arizona Attorney General’s Office State Government Division, Tax Section, is seeking an Assistant Attorney General.  The attorney will concentrate primarily on litigation in the area of “centrally-valued” property valuation and taxation.  Centrally-valued or “CVP” properties are properties valued annually by the Arizona Department of Revenue, and include railroads, pipelines, electrical generation and distribution facilities, airlines, and telecommunications companies.  In addition to litigation, the attorney will advise the Department’s CVP Division on valuation and taxation matters relating to the valuation and taxation of CVP properties under A.R.S.
