TUCSON, Ariz. — Pima County has one month to go before it finalizes its budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
Prior to the adoption of the final budget, the County Administrator's office released a tentative budget plan, required by state statute to set the maximum expenditures and establish minimum tax rates.According to the draft, homeowners can expect to pay 13 cents less per $100,000 of a home's value.A hike in the base property tax as well as the library district levy are being offset by a steep drop in the secondary"debt service" tax, which results in the lower overall rate.
The budget is expected to be adopted in it's final form at the Pima County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, June 21. Prior to its adoption, the Board may decrease expenditures and corresponding tax rates.Brooke Long is an executive producer for KGUN 9 by way of Wichita Falls, Texas where she worked at KFDX-TV.
