Buckeye plans tax hearing for July
Slight property tax increase, but council keeps limit
Posted
The city of Buckeye will hold a meeting in July to discuss its property tax plans for the coming year, one that will see a slight increase for residents.
The meeting, to be held at the council's regularly scheduled 6 p.m. July 6 meeting, will include a truth in taxation public hearing as the city sets its property tax rates.
City officials said the primary property tax rate would increase from the current $173.25 on a $100,000 home to $176.71 on a home with the same value. The Buckeye council has kept that amount below $180 for the past nine years, officials said.
The city said it would net about $213,796 with the increase, a 2% rise over last year. That increase is because of an increase in the total assessed property values from the Maricopa County Assessor's Office of residential homes within Buckeye.
The public is invited to the hearing to comment on the city's tax plans.
