If approved, the new tax could be a line item on receipts as soon as October. “We figure this will bring in about $9 million to $10 million per year, if it were a half-cent, and then gradually increase over the course of the coming years,” said Bitter at one of the open houses. The city cited lowering property taxes each of the last six years and funding projects without issuing bonds in explaining why the time is right for the new levy. As it currently stands, only eight cities in the state have a lower sales tax rate than Maricopa. The new tax would increase the municipal rate to 2.5%. “This isn’t just about widening a road; it’s about being financially prudent while securing Maricopa’s future and making sure our infrastructure meets the needs of our growing community,” said the city in a press release. Bitter said “lots of people” had “lots of questions” at last month’s open houses. It was also a chance for the government to learn what the residents wanted to see. “It was a good opportunity to just kind of learn from the community about their concerns, what their needs might be and make sure what we present to the city council and how we move forward is going to meet the needs at this time,” Bitter reacted. Bitter said most people cared less about the nitty-gritty numbers, however, and were more curious about how the revenue would expedite widening efforts. “I think people are just interested in timelines and how quickly we can see the 347 moving forward,” Bitter said. “Ultimately, that’s a decision for ADOT, but our goal is to find a way to get them to do it sooner.” This is the best road forward.
