If you are in a fire district, look on your property tax bill for your property tax charge (primary and secondary tax) from your fire district (remember that your bill may only show a one-half year charge) and enter the annual amount in column A.

If you do not have your property tax bill, you can calculate your fire district property tax by taking your total net assessed value (found at http://www.asr.co.pima.az.us/apiq/index.cfm), dividing it by 100, and multiplying it by the fire district tax rate. The following are some local 2005 fire district tax rates: Corona de Tucson $2.5998, Drexel Heights $3.00, Northwest $2.4824, and Rincon Valley $2.6321.

Take that figure and divide by $100 and then multiply by $1.24. For most homes in Tucson, this figure is between $100 and $300 per year.

For example on a $200,000 home with an assessed value of $170,000 and a net assessed value of $17,000, the annual city property tax would be $210.80.

If you would like help with this calculation or have additional questions, please e-mail (annexation@tucsonaz.gov) or phone (520-791-4505) to talk with one of our Annexation staff members.
