Local taxpayers face a mixed picture as state sales tax reallocation raises city shares and lowers county and state shares. Pima County expects a drop to about 3 million dollars next year, with property tax rates rising 25 to 30 cents to cover the loss, while Tucson foresees about 1.6 million dollars more from state sales taxes to fund streets parks and services under a 1.75 ceiling. The net effect will raise county taxes even as city spending expands local services.
