Review of Sierra Vista, Arizona


taxes, utilities, etc.
Star Rating - 5/13/2011
So it seems many "claim" higher taxes in Sierra Vista yet upon checking the facts don't back that up. HOWEVER, one tax that I have found to actually be higher is property tax. The odd thing is it is set by the county and I am confused as to why a $200k house in Sierra Vista has $200+ higher tax than seem priced house in other cities in the same county.
Anyone know why?
I have researched over 20 homes in Sierra Vista in the $170-250k range based on present listing price, sale within last 2 years, or tax appraisal value which looked accurate and all but 2 had higher property tax per $10,000 in value than other cities in same county and 2 other counties I was looking at in Arizona (Yavapai & Mohave).
It is more than houses simply being appraised higher. The tax per appraised value is actually higher by about 13%.
