Arizona Department of Revenue, decided on April 27, 2021. The Taxpayer in this case is a non-Indian entity that owns and operates an electrical generating plant (Facility) in Mohave County on land it leases from the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe. Under the terms of the lease, Taxpayer owns the Facility and all improvements, but is required to remove most of the above ground improvements and personal property from the leased land at the end of the lease term.
