Phoenix's 2025-26 General Fund faced a baseline deficit of $36 million, with projected shortfalls of $83 million in 2026-27 and $6 million in 2027-28, primarily caused by state legislative actions eliminating residential rental sales tax (SB 1131) and reducing the individual income tax rate to 2.5 percent (SB 1828).
