Cochise College board to hold a public hearing on the tax rate

Article

The Cochise College Governing Board will consider an increase to the primary property tax levy for Cochise College following a public hearing at its May 13 meeting.

 

In compliance with section 15-1461.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Cochise County Community College District is notifying its property taxpayers of Cochise County Community College District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over last year’s level. The Cochise County Community College District is proposing an increase in primary property taxes of $544,661 or 2.00%. 

 

For example, the proposed tax increase will cause Cochise County Community College District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to increase from $239.41 (total taxes that would be owed without the proposed tax increase) to $244.20 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase).

 

This proposed increase is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter-approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.

 

This Truth in Taxation Notice for this proposal will be posted in the Sierra Vista Herald and other county publications on April 23, 2025, and in the Sierra Vista Herald on May 4, 2025. For more information about the CCCCD proposed 2025-2026 budget and the Truth in Taxation notice, please go to https://www.cochise.edu/governance/#TaxRow.
