Truth in Taxation Hearing
Notice of Tax Increase
In compliance with section 42-17107, Arizona Revised Statutes, the Town of Huachuca City is notifying its property taxpayers of the Town of Huachuca City’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over last year’s level. The Town of Huachuca City is proposing an increase in primary property taxes of $20,883 or 18.16%.
For example, the proposed tax increase will cause the Town of Huachuca City’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $160.92 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase). Without the proposed tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed on a
$100,000 home would have been $136.19.
This proposed increase is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.
All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the tax increase that is scheduled to be held on July 16, 2026, at 6pm. at 500 N Gonzales Blvd. Huachuca City, AZ. 85616. Published in the Sierra Vista Herald on June 28, 2026 and July 8, 2026.
Town of Huachuca City – AZ0402019 – Questions & Updates for Unknown Service Lines + Lead & GRR
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Town of Huachuca City Failed to Complete Lead Service Line Inventory
All community water systems and non-transient non-community water systems are required to submit an initial inventory to their state or primacy agency by October 16, 2024. We failed to submit the initial lead service line inventory by the due date. As our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation.
*Service line inventories are the foundation from which water systems can take proactive steps to address lead service lines. Establishing an inventory of service line materials and identifying the location of lead service lines are key steps in getting them replaced. *
What should I do?
- If you are concerned about having a lead service line (pipe that connects your home to the water main), consult public water system. To learn how to find lead pipes in your home go to: Protect Your Tap: A quick check for lead (https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/protect-your-tap-quick-check-lead-0)
- Although there is no confirmation of having a lead service line, you may wish to speak with a healthcare provider if you have a compromised immune system, have children in your home or are nursing as you may be at an increased risk if a lead service line is found during the initial inventory. For general guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of exposure to lead, reach out to EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or visit https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/basic-information-about-lead-drinking-water#health
What does this mean?
This is not an emergency, as we are in the process of completing the initial lead service line inventory. If it had been, you would have been notified within 24 hours.
You will be notified within 30 days of finishing our inventory if any lines are determined to be lead, galvanized requiring replacement, non-lead or are unknown.
What is being done?
The Utility has successfully inventoried many of the lines serving the community with the exception of 97 lines within the system.
For more information, please contact the Public Works Director, Carlos Lorenzo at calorenzoescobar@huachucacityaz.gov or call 520-678-1502
*Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.*
This notice is being sent to you by the Town of Huachuca City. State Water System ID#: AZ0402019
