Scottsdale residents can expect to see a slight relief on their property-tax bills this fall.
Scottsdale City Council members opted against a hike in the city’s primary-property tax.

Scottsdale’s overall rate and levy — or how much the city collects — are expected to drop, although rebounding property values offset the rate decrease.
