The Arizona court system has four types of courts - Superior, Justice, Municipal, and the Arizona Tax Court. The Arizona Tax Court handles certain cases regarding state and local taxes. The Tax Court operates out of Maricopa County and hears cases for the whole state. Each county in Arizona has a mix of Superior, Justice and Municipal Courts. Superior Courts have general jurisdiction, but usually handle cases beyond the jurisdiction of lower courts. The jurisdiction between Municipal Courts (sometimes known as Magistrate Courts) and Justice Courts overlaps in certain criminal cases. Both hear cases regarding violations of state law that occur within the municipality. Justice Courts hear small civil cases, including small claims cases. There are also Tribal Courts in Arizona, but these operate separately from the state court system, though Tribal Court decisions may be enforced by state courts.
