June 9, 2021Yuma/La Paz Counties’ Arizona Western College District has released its Truth in Taxation information for the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget, in compliance with Arizona Revised Statue 15-1461.01.
According to the Truth in Taxation information, the College is proposing a 0.63% increase in the primary tax rate over fiscal year 2020-2021. The current tax, inclusive of new construction, will provide an additional $953,545 in revenues. Including the tax increase, the total taxes owed on a $100,000 home will be $213.12.
The College’s secondary tax rate is proposed to continue at .3355 as the College continues to have an outstanding general obligation debt.
