Cochise County issued the following announcement on Aug. 19.

The 2019-2020 fiscal year tax rates and levies have been officially adopted by the Cochise County Board of Supervisors.

During a public hearing on August 19, the Board unanimously voted to adopt the tax rates and levies for all Cochise County taxing entities.

The Board of Supervisors sets the tax rates for the Flood Control, Lighting and School Districts, as well as the County property tax. The primary property tax rate remains the same as last year, but the County anticipates an increase in revenue due to higher assessed property values.

All other Special District tax rates are set by their respective elected boards, including Cochise College, the School, Fire, Water and Hospital Districts, and the seven incorporated municipalities. The Board of Supervisors is required by law to adopt the rates set by those taxing entities.
