Why are my taxes more than my friends' when the homes have the same value?

Although some of the taxing districts are county wide, most of the taxes you are assessed are location specific. This is determined by the area code listed on your tax notice. If you live in Safford you will pay for the Safford School District taxes, City of Safford, and possibly the Safford Fire District. The same applies if you live in Thatcher you will pay Thatcher School District, City of Thatcher, Thatcher Fire, Etc. Tax Rates differ from district to district. For example, a home valued at $75,000 will be taxed approximately $876.43 in Safford, $989.71 in Thatcher, and $971.65 in Pima. For more information on tax rates, visit our tax rate page.
