Pima and Pinal counties may have to set their tax rates — and hike the levy on businesses and homeowners — before any court decides whether a provision in the state budget is legal.
That could add up to $45 a year in taxes for a $180,000 home in Pima County, and a yet-to-be determined amount in Pinal.
And whatever is borne by homeowners will hit businesses twice as hard because of the way they are assessed for tax purposes. So a $180,000 business could see a $90 annual increase.
