  • Budget Highlights City Overview

    Tucson, AZ
    Budget

    For Fiscal Year 2025, the Tucson City Manager submitted the recommended budget on April 9, 2024, and the Mayor and Council adopted a balanced budget on June 4, 2024. The city's largest revenue sources are Business Privilege tax (19.6% of total revenues) and Public Utility tax (17.4%), with Business Privilege tax recently increased from 2% to 2.6% following voter-approved propositions, and a multi-year rate plan for Public Utility tax approved in January 2023 providing annual 5.5% increases through Fiscal Year 2027. Arizona's 2022 implementation of a flat income tax rate has significantly reduced state-shared revenues to Tucson, creating budgetary pressure on the General Fund and prompting the city to propose fee adjustments for Parks and Recreation, Reid Park Zoo, Tucson City Golf, and other services beginning in Fiscal Year 2025.
