Tax rate to drop but your bills won't
Tax rates for Pima County homeowners will fall this year but higher home valuations and a $101 million rise in country house values may offset savings. County rate at 3.4 per $100, state rate still undecided, Amphitheater and Tucson districts see notable cuts while Flowing Wells and Catalina Foothills rise. State surplus could cut the statewide tax rate, with 48 cents for Pima Community College and library taxes nudging totals.
