How are my property taxes calculated?

If a homeowner, the property tax is calculated based on an assessment ratio of 10% against your net assessed value (AV) which is different than your market value. For example, if the tax rate is $1.30 per $100 of AV and your net AV is $251,560, the average limited property value for the current year within 91�� Public Schools (again, less than your market value), the calculation is:

$251,560 x 10% = $25,156 divided by $100 = $251.16 x $1.30 your annual tax is $326.51/year or $27.23/month.

To calculate their property taxes, a community member needs the limited property value of their property. This is not the current fair market value of a home that can be found on Zillow or Redfin but rather the Limited Property Value as calculated by the Maricopa County Assessor. This amount can be located on the Property Notice of Valuation that is mailed each year from the Maricopa County Assessor or online by visiting the Maricopa County Assessor website.
How does Arizona fund schools?

Arizona funds schools based on the number of students and the miles students are transported. It is formula based funding and a school district’s budget limit does not increase or decrease if the assessed value in the district changes. Arizona provides a specific dollar amount per student for maintenance and operational expenses (salaries, benefits, supplies, services, utilities) and for capital (furniture, equipment, technology, vehicles, textbooks, library books, instructional aids). The capital allocation has not been fully funded for several years.

This is Not A Tax Increase

The budget override is a continuation of local funding approved in 2019 by voters. If the budget override continuation is not approved the district would have to cut approximately $36 million from the budget over 3 years starting in school year 2025/26. 91�� Public Schools operates under strict financial stewardship and has received national awards for excellence in financial reporting.
