Scottsdale Property Tax
Scottsdale property taxes are considered by many residents to be a bargain when compared to many areas around the country. In many cases this can become one of the determining factors when considering purchasing real estate in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Scottsdales 2007 primary property tax rate is .4192 . The city of Scottsdales bond or secondary property tax rate is .5512 . The combined property tax rate for residents who live within the Scottsdale Unified School District (48) is 8.4766 for every $100 of assesed value. Primary taxes are for the benefit of the taxing district, and are used for their maintenance and operations. Secondary taxes (bond) are used for voter approved city improvement projects , redemptive charges on bond indebtedness, and any special district assesments which may be needed.
For example, a home with an Assesor's full cash value of $200,000 is multiplied by the assesment ratio which determines the assesed value. The assesment ratio used for residential homes in 2007 is 10% . So the assesed value would be $20,000 . If we apply the current rate of $8.4766 for every $100.00 of assesed value, the approximate tax would be $1695.32 .This is based on $8.476 x ($20,000 / $100) .
