SB 1555: property tax increment; affordable housing

SB 1555 creates a "Housing Affordability Fund" in each Arizona county, funded by property tax increments from newly built homes. The fund provides down payment assistance for public employees (state/city workers, charter school staff, healthcare/education employers) and supports developers building affordable housing types like workforce or smaller units. It requires counties to deposit the tax difference between a home's initial valuation and new valuation (after sale) into this separate fund, calculated based on days remaining in the tax year. The fund cannot replace existing housing programs or cover general government costs.

HB 2933: groundwater transportation fee; counties; fund

HB 2933 establishes a tiered annual fee for entities transporting groundwater out of a county where it was withdrawn. The fee ranges from $3 to $30 per acre-foot based on total volume transported (e.g., $3 for 0-1 million acre-feet, $30 for over 5 million), adjusted yearly using GDP inflation. Collected fees become general county funds deposited into the county’s general fund. The bill also allows credits against fees for property tax increases from remote municipal land, donated land with groundwater restrictions, or intergovernmental agreements. This primarily affects agricultural or municipal entities moving groundwater across county lines.
