The budget for the next fiscal year includes an increase in property taxes while funding infrastructure needs and employee raises. The final budget is set to be adopted June 20.
Nicole Ludden The Pima County Board of Supervisors has set next fiscal year’s budget cap at about $1.76 billion, representing a slight decrease from last year as the county aims to stabilize its finances while cash from COVID-19 era grants wanes.
People are also reading… The combined property tax rate is set to increase by about .8% over last year’s rate and climb to $5.1048 per $100 of a home’s net assessed value, or the property's estimated value determined by the County Assessor’s Office. For example, a property with a determined value of $200,000 would owe about $10,210 under the tax rate.
The county reduced property tax rates in other areas, like debt service, to lessen the blow, County Administrator Jan Lesher said. Lesher said the county was purposeful in not relying on one-time COVID relief funding to sustain long-term programs. While the county received $203.4 million in American Rescue Plan money, as the public health entity for the region, the county spent most of the funds on efforts like vaccine administration and testing.
An extra $5 million will go toward personnel adjustments to ensure those with less tenure don’t jump ahead of the pay rate of those with more experience.
