Phoenix Union High School District Truth in Taxation Hearing Scheduled for June 25

The Phoenix Union High School District will hold a truth in taxation hearing on Thursday, June 25 at 6:00 p.m. in the Governing Board room at the District office, 4502 N. Central Ave. Below is the District’s notice, as required by state law:

In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Phoenix Union High School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Phoenix Union High School District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the Governing Board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The Phoenix Union High School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $9,564,710.


The amount proposed above will cause Phoenix Union High School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to increase from $82.76 to $96.65.*

These amounts proposed are above the qualifying tax levies as prescribed by state law, if applicable. 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 proposed tax increase on June 25, 2009 at 6:00 p.m., Phoenix Union High School District – Board Room, 4502 North Central Avenue – 1st Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85012.

*This tax rate was calculated at the maximum amount of increase assuming no change to the current funding formula. This primary property tax levy does not take into account any Legislative budget cuts for fiscal year 2009/2010 which could cause the property tax increase to be less than indicated in this notice.
