FLORENCE — Pinal County’s primary property tax rate will be cut by almost nine cents in the new fiscal year according to a tentative budget of nearly $1.23 billion approved Wednesday by the Pinal Board of Supervisors.
The budget also reduces the county’s secondary property tax rate after staying the same for years; is structurally balanced; and invests in employees, infrastructure and equipment toward the goal of “excellent service to our constituents,” Pinal Budget and Finance Director Angie Woods told the board.
Pinal’s primary property tax rate will drop from $3.45 per $100 of net assessed value to $3.36. This follows declines for most of the last several years, since the rate was $3.83 in 2018.
