The planned adoption of the town’s 2017-18 budget and the legally required public hearing on the budget and proposed property tax levy are scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 7, at Queen Creek Town Hall, 22350 S. Ellsworth Road.

This week, the town of Queen Creek is publishing a Truth in Taxation notice as required by Arizona state law, explaining potential changes in the amount of property taxes collected.

The notice deals only with the primary property taxes, which are designated for public safety, which includes fire, law enforcement and emergency medical services.

Increased home values, in addition to growth the town has experienced in the residential and commercial sector, may lead to an increase in the overall property tax revenues received by the town.
