THATCHER — Eastern Arizona College’s (EAC) tax levy proposal includes a lower tax rate for the 2025 budget year, which will be considered by the Graham County Community College District Governing Board (Governing Board).
The proposal would drop the rate from $2.60 to $2.46, representing a 14-cent reduction from last year’s rate. Because the reduced rate will include a 2% levy increase and generate additional funds, statutory language refers to this as a tax increase, when, in fact, it will result in a tax rate reduction. Consequently, we are required to inform the community in the following manner:
The Truth in Taxation Notice will be posted on May 29 and will be posted again on June 5. For more information about EAC’s proposed 2024-2025 budget click here.
The public is invited to send comments on EAC’s recommended tax rate reduction to board@eac.edu. Members of the public can also provide comments at the Governing Board meeting on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at 1 p.m., at the Eastern Arizona College Student Services Building, Governing Board Room, 615 N. Stadium Ave., Thatcher, Ariz.
