Where is Kierland?

Kierland is a master-planned area in northeast Phoenix, around Greenway Parkway between 64th Street and Scottsdale Road. The Kierland HOA describes its residential area as between 64th and 68th streets, north and south of Greenway Road, north to Montreal and south to Hearn Road. Kierland Commons, a main-street shopping and dining district with more than 70 retailers, sits at the northwest corner of Scottsdale Road and Greenway Parkway, and the Kierland Golf Club has 27 holes. A resort hotel plat is also part of the Kierland subdivisions.

For city planning, Kierland is in Phoenix's Paradise Valley Village, which the city describes as including Paradise Valley Mall and Kierland Commons. The Paradise Valley Village Planning Committee generally meets the first Monday of the month at 6 p.m. at the Paradise Valley Community Center, 17402 N. 40th St. (confirm on the city's meeting notices).

Is Kierland in Phoenix or Scottsdale?

Phoenix. At Greenway Parkway, the city line runs along Scottsdale Road: assessor records show parcels on the east side, such as Scottsdale Quarter, in the City of Scottsdale and Kierland Commons on the west side in Phoenix. Much of ZIP 85254 still uses "Scottsdale" as its mailing city, which is why listings often say Scottsdale.

Our count from the Maricopa County Assessor's parcel layer (subdivision name containing "Kierland"), pulled October 20, 2026. A few parcels have no property city listed. Confirm the jurisdiction for a specific parcel on the assessor's site.

The city matters for a buyer: City of Phoenix rules and services apply, the tax bill carries Phoenix's city tax line, and the home's tax area code is a Phoenix code, not a Scottsdale one.

What are the association costs?

The Kierland HOA's website routes questions to its management company, HOAMCO, and keeps assessment details behind its resident sign-in, so get the current amount from the resale disclosure. Condominium buildings have their own associations and dues. A home can belong to more than one association, and each one provides its own disclosure and can charge its own disclosure fee (A.R.S. §33-1806 for planned communities, §33-1260 for condominiums). See what HOA fees are due at closing.

What about property taxes?

Phoenix's 27 residential tax areas in Maricopa County's 2026 rate table run 6.14 to 15.83 per $100 of assessed value, after homeowner state aid. The Paradise Vly#69 tax area, which matches the school district of the subdivisions we checked, totals 8.62. That's about $862 a year for each $100,000 of limited property value, before any special district line. Confirm the tax area code on the parcel's own bill.

Maricopa County's 2026 tax rate book has no special district named for Kierland. Still read the special district section of the parcel's own tax bill. See how Arizona property taxes are calculated and when they're due.

Which electric company serves Kierland?

The Kierland plats we checked fall outside SRP's published electric service territory, so another provider, most often APS, serves them. Confirm with the utility for a specific address. See SRP or APS?
