The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved the lowest overall county-controlled property tax rate in the last 28 years.  The county controlled property tax rate impacts about 15% of the individual's tax bill.  The action was taken in recognition of the sharp increase in property values experienced during the past several years. 

For more details on this tax rate reduction, read the Maricopa County Press Release.
