More savings, stable taxes, and continued investment in public safety—Queen Creek continues to deliver for residents and businesses.
If you’re a homeowner or business owner in Queen Creek, there’s more good news coming your way.
At its June 3 meeting, the Queen Creek Town Council unanimously voted to continue its property tax freeze policy for the fourth consecutive year. As part of the decision, the Town’s primary property tax rate will decrease from $1.55 to $1.46 per $100 of assessed value, helping keep costs low while maintaining essential services.
What Does This Mean for Homeowners?
For the median-priced home in Queen Creek, the annual primary property tax will remain approximately $429 per year, with no increase in taxes for existing property owners during the 2026-27 fiscal year.
Since the property tax freeze began in 2022, Queen Creek residents have benefited from significant savings, and the Town estimates homeowners and businesses will save an additional $5.1 million this year alone. Total savings over the five-year freeze period are projected to reach nearly $20 million.
How Is Queen Creek Able to Keep Taxes Stable?
The Town’s policy allows property tax revenue growth to come only from new construction and development, rather than increasing taxes on current residents and businesses. This fiscally conservative approach has enabled Queen Creek to maintain services while keeping taxes predictable and affordable.
Supporting Public Safety Without Raising Taxes
Primary property tax revenue helps fund critical public safety services throughout the community. For FY 2026-27, these taxes are expected to generate approximately $15.5 million, supplemented by the Town’s general fund to ensure continued investment in safety and community resources.
Why This Matters for Real Estate
Low and predictable property taxes continue to make Queen Creek one of the most attractive communities in Arizona for homebuyers, families, and businesses. Stable tax policies help homeowners better manage long-term housing costs while supporting strong property values and community growth.
Whether you’re already a resident or considering making Queen Creek your home, this latest decision is another example of why the community continues to be one of the fastest-growing and most desirable places to live in the East Valley.
