Scottsdale School District tax rate may drop over 50 cents
The Scottsdale School District could lower the per hundred valuation tax rate from 5.62 to around 5.08 for the next year due to higher assessed valuations from construction and a 10.6 percent rise in district valuation. If set at 5.08, a $50 000 home would pay about $381 in school taxes next year versus $421.50 this year. The final rate will be announced in August by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
