Property Taxes Maricopa/Queen Creek (Florence: house, calculation, property tax)

[gregandvicky]

Does anyone know if there is any difference in property taxes in Maricopa as compared to Queen Creek. We are looking to retire and our price range is up to $165,000 and these two places fit our budget.

Anyone have any web sites to research the tax comparisons?

I am unable to google and find any/
Thanks

QC straddles Maricopa and Pinal counties. Pinal is about double the tax of Maricopa. If you're looking in Maricopa AZ that is Pinal Co also. I live in Pinal, I don't think the taxes are that bad, less than $3000 a year, but still much more than Maricopa County, all depends on what your house is assessed at. Pinal assesses at 70% of FMV. Her's the site of Pinal County Treasurer

Pinal County (Queen Creek, AJ, Florence, Gold Canyon) just announced lower property tax rate to come soon of $3.44 per $1000 of assessed value. Not sure of the assessment ratio (percent of assessed value used for tax calculation of each county). Hope this helps. I know historically, Pinal County has been much higher than Maricopa county.
