TAX INCENTIVE FOR HISTORIC RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES IN JEOPARDY!
The proposed State Senate Bill 1166 would repeal the reduced property tax classification for historic residential property. Under current law, qualifying historic residences are assessed at 5% rather than the 10% assessment ratio that applies to other homes -- the effect of this bill would be to increase property taxes on those historic homes, approximately 6,000 throughout the state. The bill will be heard by the State Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday, January 27. Express your views today! Fact sheet available for review and download here.
IT'S TIME TO START PLANNING YOUR COMMUNITY'S CENTENNIAL INVOLVEMENT
Community involvement is vital to planning events and activities that showcase our state's development from Native American beginnings to 21st century innovation. Providing a sense of unity and pride among residents, these events will accentuate the diverse nature of the state with respect to its people, entrepreneurial spirit, tourist destinations, and educational opportunities. To learn more about getting involved, visit the Arizona Centennial website.
