  • 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.

    The FY 2025 Charleston County Operating Budget was adopted by County Council on June 18, 2024, maintaining the county's tax rate unchanged for homeowners while applying full Local Option Sales Tax collections as a credit against tax bills. The county maintains a strong financial position with a GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for thirty-five consecutive years and Triple AAA bond ratings for thirteen years, but faces challenges including inflation, higher personnel costs, historically high position vacancies, and increased service demands. The budget prioritizes maintaining a competitive workforce through compensation adjustments, including a shift of pay tables to reflect market rates and continued funding for longevity and merit programs. The Community Development and Revitalization Department is utilizing pandemic recovery funds from the Consolidated Appropriations Act and American Rescue Plan Act to address affordable housing and critical citizen needs, though these funds are not included in the operating budget itself.
