Pima County Supervisors to discuss illegal secondary property tax

Today, the Pima County Board of Supervisors will meet in Executive Session to discuss the illegally assessed secondary property tax the County Assessor has been collecting from property owners in South Tucson since 2011. The Board will then come out of executive session and reconvene the public meeting for discussion and vote regarding what action, if any will be taken.

The matter was only placed on the agenda in response to a letter from the South Tucson’s City Manager Luis Gonzalez to the County in response to a Notice of Claim filed with the Pima County Board of Supervisors on October 14, 2014, by Paul Moore, Mooney Wright and Moore, LLC on behalf of claimants for the illegally collected monies.

It is illegal to secondary property tax assessment without the approval of the voters. In the case of South Tucson’s secondary property tax, it was passed in 2011 in a 5-2 vote by the City Council under the leadership of then-Mayor Jennifer Eckstrom.
