May 28, 2010

TUCSON, AZ -- Pima County Community College District has released its Truth in Taxation information for its 2010-11 budget, in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes section 15-1461.01.

According to the Truth in Taxation documents, the College is proposing an increase in primary tax revenues of $1,706,744, an increase of 2.0% over fiscal year 2009-2010.

After accounting for new construction, the actual primary property taxes on a home with an assessed value of $100,000 would increase $1.91 from $95.64 to $97.55.

The College’s secondary tax rate for 2010-2011 will be reduced by approximately 23% from the prior year.

Overall, homeowners will see their 2010-2011 combined property tax rates for the Pima County Community College District increased by less than one percent.  When factoring in decreased property valuations and decreased assessment ratios, many property owners will experience a decrease in property taxes that support Pima County Community College District.

The College’s elected five-member Board of Governors will hold a public hearing on the fiscal year 2010-2011 budget on Wednesday, June 9, 2010.  The public hearing will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the College’s Community/Board Room at the District Office, 4905 E. Broadway Boulevard, Tucson.  The Board of Governors' regular monthly meeting will follow the public hearing on the budget.  The College’s Board of Governors meetings are open to the public.
