Pima County's Justice Courts
Pima County concentrates most of its justice court work in one place. The Pima County Consolidated Justice Court in Tucson absorbed what were once separate precincts, and it is joined by smaller courts at Ajo and Green Valley.
Because Tucson's precincts were consolidated rather than kept separate, Pima avoids the matching problem that makes Maricopa awkward. For most Pima County properties the consolidated court in Tucson is the answer.
A landlord and tenant case here is normally heard in the justice court for the precinct the property sits in. Above the justice courts' civil jurisdiction limit it belongs in the superior court instead, and below that limit the two share it. What does not happen is a municipal or city court hearing one — see how Arizona's justice courts work.
The Pima County Superior Court is at 110 West Congress Street in Tucson, a few blocks from the consolidated justice court on North Stone Avenue. Both are downtown, and neither is a substitute for the other.

Before You Rely on This
Court details were checked in August 2026. Arizona has been consolidating rural justice courts -- Santa Cruz in 2019, and Graham and La Paz in 2023 -- so listings elsewhere can name courts that have closed. If anything here matters to a filing, confirm it with the court before you rely on it.
The notice a tenancy has to be given before any of this arises is set out under ending a tenancy.
Common Questions
Does Tucson have its own justice court precincts?
Not separate ones any more. Tucson's precincts were folded into the Pima County Consolidated Justice Court, so for most Pima County properties that single court is the answer.
What are the other two Pima County justice courts?
Smaller courts serve Ajo and Green Valley, outside the Tucson metropolitan area.
Which court hears an eviction in Pima County?
Normally the justice court for the precinct where the rental property is located, and Pima County has three justice courts. Justice courts share jurisdiction over these cases with the superior court up to a limit set by statute, and above that limit the superior court hears them. Municipal and city courts do not hear them at all.
