Huachuca City Council directs staff to begin 'truth in taxation' public-notice process
Summary
Council voted to begin the Truth in Taxation notification process for the upcoming fiscal year and asked staff to prepare notices and hearings; staff showed revenue scenarios (neutral: $17,765; midpoint: ~$128,000; maximum: ~$139,000) and household examples.
At the March 12 meeting the Huachuca City Council voted to direct staff to begin the Truth in Taxation public-notice process as part of the town’s budget planning.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey (staff) explained that the neutral-rate example would yield about $17,765 in additional revenue, while a midpoint option would generate roughly $128,000 and the maximum-allowable scenario about $139,000. Using a $100,000 home as an example, staff said the midpoint increase would be about $12 per year and the maximum roughly $24 per year.
Harvey emphasized the vote was procedural direction to proceed with the publication and hearing schedule; any final decision on a tax rate will occur later in the formal budget process. Councilmembers asked questions about scheduling notices and confirmed the added public-notice steps would be aligned with other hearings.
The motion to begin the Truth in Taxation process passed unanimously.
