FLAGSTAFF — In compliance with section 42-17107, Arizona Revised statutes, the City of Flagstaff is notifying its property taxpayers of City of Flagstaff’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over last year’s level. The City of Flagstaff is proposing an increase of $727,879 or 12.0%.
The Truth in Taxation notice is a legal requirement as set by Arizona Revised Statutes for an increase in the City of Flagstaff’s primary property taxes. The published notice states the maximum allowable increase.
The proposed tax increase will cause City of Flagstaff’s primary property taxes on an $100,000 home to increase from $81.21 (total taxes that would be owed without the proposed tax increase) to $86.65 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase).
This proposed increase is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.
All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the tax increase that is scheduled to be held June 20, 2017 at 6:00 in the Flagstaff High School Hurley Theater at 400 West Elm Avenue, Flagstaff, Arizona.
