Get ready. When the Republic posts information like this it is for one purpose and one purpose only: propagada. Having worked on property tax issues for 6 years now, here's how the Republic works with government.
Get ready for a huge property tax increase effort. Probably related to "cost shifting" from the state to the counties.
The Republic and government wants to lead people to believe that their property taxes will be going down. People will be receiving their statements in March.
The truth is the opposite. Despite valuations going down, property tax will be significantly INCREASING. This is due to several reasons.
ALL PEOPLE pay property tax. Either directly, or its imbedded in your rent and/or anything you buy.

Get rid of Joe Arpaio, I'll betchya the value of the properties will sky rocket
Lucky, two unrelated things. Joe is ex-DEA, ex-Agency. He's got a whole other dynamic surrounding him.
It's not even the county board who are mucking up this one. There's a 1 BILLION surplus in the county coffers.
No, this is in preparation of the governor's "cost shifting" budget which will boost property taxes well above where there currently are today, DESPITE the valuation decreases. It's about the organized crime ring in AZ which surrounds bad property tax law. And it's about the rag shilling for them.
End the ARIZONA "Fed" which prints money for AZ state government:
Sections 18 and 19 of Aricle IX of the Arizona constitution
