<strong>Tax Notice Explained</strong>
<strong> </strong>
</p>
<p>The accompanying Truth in Taxation notice is required by state law. The required notice addresses the city's primary property tax, which supports the General Fund services such as police and fire, parks and recreation, libraries and senior and community centers. </p>
<p>The City of Phoenix's proposed primary property tax rate for 2024-25 of $1.2658 per $100 of assessed valuation is reduced from its 2023-24 rate of $1.2851 per $100 of assessed valuation. However, overall increases in assessed valuation result in a 2% increase in primary property taxes for the average City of Phoenix property owner. Individual experiences may differ based on unique property variances. </p>
<p>State law requires the notice below any time the average primary property tax bill increases, even if the primary property tax rate is reduced. </p>
<p>The Truth in Taxation notice prescribed by state law does not address the City's secondary property tax. The City's secondary property tax rate for 2024-25 will be unchanged from its 2023-24 rate of $0.8141 per $100 of assessed valuation. Secondary property taxes pay the bonded debt service for facilities like libraries, police and fire stations, storm drains and parks. </p>

<strong>Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase</strong>
<strong> </strong>
</p>
<p>In compliance with section 42-17107, Arizona Revised Statutes, the City of Phoenix is notifying its property taxpayers of the City of Phoenix's intention to raise its primary property taxes over last year's level. The City of Phoenix is proposing an increase in primary property taxes of $4,177,285 or 2.00%. </p>

Without the proposed tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed on a $100,000 home would have been $124.10. </p>
<p>The 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. </p>

| City of Phoenix Adds Virtual Budget Hearing | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/budget-and-research/2715 | Budget & Research | | 4/4/2023 11:00:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2715/City-Hall-Curtains.jpg | | City of Phoenix Adds Virtual Budget Hearing | <div class="ExternalClass6CCA1DAAABB543F3B51E66FCF01D4A8D"><html>
<p></p>
<p>The City of Phoenix Budget and Research Department has added a 12th budget hearing for virtual and in-person participation as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring the City's budgeting process is transparent and accessible for all residents. </p>
<p>The additional budget hearing will take place on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. online and at Phoenix City Council Chambers (200 W. Jefferson Street). Residents will be able to comment virtually from a computer or mobile device.</p>
<p>During the month of April, the Budget and Research Department is hosting 11 other in-person community budget hearings, and one virtual/in-person hearing, inviting residents to attend and give public comment on the Trial Budget. The schedule of budget hearings can be found at <a target="_blank" href="https://phoenix.gov/budget/hearings"><strong>Phoenix.gov/budget/hearings</strong></a>.</p>
<p>This proposed Trial Budget for fiscal year 2023-24 includes $14 million for service additions in key City Council priority areas such as: public safety and criminal justice, including adding firefighters to staff a new Fire station located at 19th Avenue and Chandler Boulevard which will help to improve response times; further efforts to civilianize positions in the Police Department to allow sworn officers to respond to higher level public safety calls for service; resources to continue important expiring grant funded programs to support low-income residents and victims of crime; resources are also proposed to add park rangers for overnight patrol at City parks, and increases for community arts grant funding. Additionally, $1 million is reserved for community input and recommendations reflecting resident comments gathered over the next several weeks. Based on available funds some of the suggestions could be incorporated into the final City Manager's Budget scheduled to be presented to City Council on May 2nd. The remaining $5 million would be allocated to the General Fund contingency fund, or rainy-day fund to account for proposed ongoing spending initiatives.</p>
<p>The 2023-24 Trial Budget also proposes to allocate resources to address employee compensation, so we can provide the highest level of service ensuring our most valuable assets are paid competitively and positions can be filled with the best talent available. The City is experiencing significant vacancy rates due to the competitive labor market and therefore approximately 85%, or $114 million, of the total $134 million surplus in the 2023-24 Trial Budget is allocated to employee compensation. This investment in our employees is necessary and will help to fill vacant positions so the services residents rely on and expect can continue to be provided with improved service levels.</p>
<p>
<strong>What is the General Fund?</strong>
</p>
<p>The General Fund is part of the City of Phoenix's total budget. The General Fund is made up of resources including general sales tax, property taxes, revenue distributed by the state from income tax, sales and vehicle license taxes, and some fines and fees. The General Fund supports many of the services our residents, visitors, and businesses have come to expect in Phoenix such as libraries, parks, senior and youth programs and police and fire services.</p>
<p>
<strong>What's Next?</strong>
</p>
<p>After community review, City Manager Barton will present a revised proposed budget to the Phoenix City Council on May 2, 2023. The City Council is expected to decide on the budget on May 16, 2023. The approved budget will take effect July 1, 2023.</p>
<p>

<p>Residents are encouraged to participate in upcoming in-person budget hearings. The community is also encouraged to use the City's FundPHX interactive tool to provide input.

<h2>How the 2023 GO Bond Program Project Selection Process Works</h2><p>Subcommittees will receive presentations about proposed projects from City departments, hear from the public, then rank in priority order projects to be recommended to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is charged with making project recommendations within the approved scope of $500M to be considered by City Council. The City Council will then decide if a GO Bond Program will go to the voters. If approved by Council, voters will ultimately choose whether or not to adopt the GO Bond Program in November 2023.</p><p>>Committee meetings began in August 2022 and are currently scheduled to continue through November 2022. Meetings are open to the public for comment.
