Apache Junction residents are being surveyed by phone for their thoughts on if they would favor the city’s first property tax to replace a sales tax that is sunsetting in 2025.
The city presently collects no property tax, but has a 2.4% sales tax.
The Apache Junction City Council on Dec. 2, 2014, approved an ordinance that created a .2% sales tax dedicated to the maintenance, repair and reconstruction of Apache Junction roadways. Collections began March 1, 2015, and the tax sunsets 10 years later, on March 1, 2025.
