Town Council Regular Session June 17, 2026 Use Tax June 17, 2026 HISTORY Approved on January 14, 2026, by Town Council via Ordinance No.(O)26-02 Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) failed to update official record of Model City Tax Code (MCTC) within the required 10-day window. Per ARS 42-6052, the lack of action by ADOR rendered Town Council’s action void. ADOR has provided assurances that they can still implement by July 1, with re-approval via Ordinance No.(O)26-10. Assuming re-approval, staff will send package to ADOR on Thursday, June 18. No changes from Ordinance No.(O)26-02 are being proposed. USE TAX – WHY Annual Town pavement preservation (road maintenance) from FY2019-2025 have risen from $760,851 to $3,168,641, a 316% increase. Annual Gas Tax revenues from FY2019-2025 have risen from $3,563,828 to $4,262,644, a 20% increase. The difference in growth between pavement preservation and gas tax revenues over that time frame is $2.4M vs. $700K, respectively. Levels playing field for local businesses. Strategically aligned with Town “shop local” program. Pavement Preservation vs. HURF Revenue - 500,000 1,000,000 1,500,000 2,000,000 2,500,000 3,000,000 3,500,000 4,000,000 4,500,000 FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 FY2025 Pavement Preservation History Pavement Preservation HURF Revenues LOCAL SALES TAX TREND FINAL NOTES AND NEXT STEPS Levels playing field for local businesses Strategically aligned with Town “shop local” program No negative feedback received from public Recommended unanimously by Budget & Finance Commission 70% of Arizona cities/towns have a use tax, as it is strongly recommended by the Arizona League of Cities/Towns If approved, executed Ordinance will be emailed to ADOR on Thursday, June 18 for a July 1 implementation Questions?
