PIMA COUNTY, Arizona -- In compliance with section 48-254, Arizona Revised Statutes, Pima County has announced its intent to raise primary and secondary property taxes. The three separate notices sent separately as required by law for public notice, are combined here.
Pima County Flood Control District proposes an increase in secondary property taxes of $1,000,142 or 3.96%, an increase in primary property taxes of $6,384,581 or 1.88% and Pima County Free Library District a proposed increase in secondary property taxes of $3,300,285 or 7.68%.
For example, the proposed tax increase for Flood Control will cause Pima County Flood Control District’s secondary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $33.35 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase.) Without the proposed tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed on a $100,000 home would have been $32.08.
The proposed primary tax increase will cause Pima County’s taxes on a $100,000 home to be $399.96 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase.) Without the proposed tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed on a $100,000 home would have been $392.57.
The proposed tax increase will cause Pima County Free Library District’s secondary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $53.53 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase.) Without the proposed tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed on a $100,000 home would have been $49.71.
These proposed increases are exclusive of increased secondary property taxes received from new construction. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter-approved bonded indebtedness
All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the tax increase that is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2019, at 9 a.m. or thereafter in the Board of Supervisors Hearing Room, Pima County Administration Building, 130 W. Congress, 1st Floor, Tucson, Arizona.
In February, Pima County Assessor, Bill Staples, reported to the Board of Supervisors that the County would need to lower tax rates by 14.4 cents in order to avoid giving public notice of a tax increase, if reduced by 18.5 cents it would allow the County to collect the same amount as 2019, in order to comply with the Truth in Taxation Notices.
