Fighting for equity

Residents of the 1,650-home Corte Bella development, located just south of Loop 303 and just north of Sun City West, claim they must pay a portion of their property taxes to Peoria Unified School District while nearby retirement communities Sun City and Sun City West are exempt from some school taxes within the secondary property tax category.
