At last night’s meeting, the Queen Creek Town Council unanimously approved ordinance 813-23, lowering the Town’s primary property tax rate for existing residents from $1.83 to $1.72 per $100 of assessed value. The action is a result of the Resolution 1500-22, approved last year, which freezes the amount of taxes paid by property owners in Queen Creek by reducing the property tax rate each year as property values increase.

“Lowering the primary property tax for residents is significant,” shared Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley. “It is a testament to the Town’s financial stability, the community continuing to be a desirable place to live and this Council’s commitment to being fiscally responsible. This is an opportunity to pass savings on to our residents without comprising our investment in public safety. I applaud the previous council for approving Resolution 1500-22 last year, which laid the foundation for lowering the property tax rate– and my fellow Council members for approving the lower tax rate.”
