New homes, and maybe new taxes, coming to Coolidge
by Aaron Dorman | Coolidge Examiner
The good news, according to city officials, is that homes in Coolidge are going up at a steady rate and the economy is recovering from pandemic lows.
But with new growth comes the specter of new taxes. During their meeting on Monday evening, the Coolidge City Council began a discussing that will extend through the coming months on potential property tax increases for the 2021-22 fiscal year.
“We have a lot of growth, a lot of new houses,” Finance Director Gabriel Garcia said. “Likewise, there’s new area we have to cover, and a lot of new things that go along with that. This is unfortunately how we pay for all that stuff.”
