About Us

ARIZONA CAPITOL TIMES is the only newspaper in the state that provides

in-depth coverage of what is happening at the Capitol. From legislative news

and politics to business and government affairs, ARIZONA CAPITOL TIMES

covers what you need to know, why it matters and what it means to you, your

business or organization. Our readers are legislative and business

professionals, from heads of state agencies to lobbyists and leaders of

businesses and organizations across the Valley and state. Founded in 1946,

the newspaper has become the pre-eminent source for the inside track on

public policy statewide.

Inside ARIZONA CAPITOL TIMES

Every week, ARIZONA CAPITOL TIMES gives you in-depth and unbiased

analyses of who’s who and what’s what at the Capitol, with comprehensive

reports of news events, including stories from inside the Legislature, state

agencies, political developments, election previews, campaign news and what

election results mean to you, your business and your clients. You will find

guest commentaries by legislators, state officials and business leaders, as well

as details of votes by the Arizona congressional delegation.

Our monthly special sections cover important topics such as health care,

women in public policy, education, courts and corrections, environment,

real estate and construction, economic development and small business trends.

In addition, each year ARIZONA CAPITOL TIMES produces a number of special

publications that are must-have resources. Among them: Government Resource

Directory, Green Book Guide to the Legislature, Citizen Government

Directory, Book of Lobbyists and Government Liaisons, Political Almanac,

Trade & Professional Associations Directory and Arizona Property Tax Booklet.

Why Public Notices Are Required

The Legislature wants Arizonans to be informed about

government and corporate actions that affect them, and notices

in newspapers are the best way to distribute that information.

When you publish notices in ARIZONA CAPITOL TIMES, you

are providing important information to the citizens of Arizona.

We make finding your notices easy, with an index to our public

notice advertising sections so readers can readily identify new

Arizona companies, find foreclosed properties and bid on

them, find notices of estates in probate, notices of divorce and

child custody matters and notices of state land being offered

for sale at auction.
