New Tax Law Needed to Fix Arizona Assessments
Arizona statutes require full cash value for property taxes and a 1919 court ruling backs that standard. For decades county assessors used varied percentages, with Pima County homeowners around 23 percent of value. Legislation in 1963 failed to standardize 25 classifications, prompting lawsuits. The Arizona Supreme Court could order uniform taxation with a transition period to avoid sudden spikes and legislative delays. The 1963 study began reforms, but a broader, orderly change requires court guidance and careful planning before next tax rolls.
