STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The community relies on the City to provide core and other necessary services consistent with City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible.
REPORT:
The City of Yuma Fiscal Year 2025 Adopted Annual Budget is based in part upon an estimated primary property tax levy that is anticipated to raise $16,443,580 in tax revenue. This estimate is derived from the assessed valuation as of February 2024 provided by the Yuma County Assessor and multiplied by a tax rate of $2.1321 on each $100.00 of assessed valuation. The tax rate will increase from the Fiscal Year 2024 rate of $2.1321. City Council adoption of this ordinance reflects an increase of the tax levy by $237,368 attributable to new construction.
The levy ordinance for introduction was drafted at the maximum allowed levy for FY 2025 as posted for the truth-in-taxation public hearing notice. At the conclusion of the public hearing, City Council had a roll call vote on the levy amount. The levy approved by City Council with the roll call vote was the rate introduced in the Ordinance.
There has been no secondary property tax levy since 1992.
The tax rate for the Main Street Mall and Off-Street Parking Maintenance District No. 1 is $4.2750 on each $100.00 of assessed valuation, which is higher than the Fiscal Year 2024 tax rate of $4.2500. The levy is anticipated to increase approximately $156,109 in tax revenue in Fiscal Year 2025. The City of Yuma will also contribute approximately $183,354 to District No. 1 Mall Maintenance in Fiscal Year 2025.
The City will assess 12 Municipal Improvement Districts. The districts, their associated rates and levy are as follows:

The statutory combined Public Hearings on the Budget and tax levies were held on June 5, 2024, and subsequently City Council adopted the Final Budget of Estimated Revenues and Expenditures for Fiscal Year 2025 by Resolution. Introducing and adopting this tax levy ordinance will complete the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget process in accordance with state law and the Yuma City Charter.
