June 2013 AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL HOUSEHOLD COST COMPARISON Each year the Budget Office performs an analysis of the estimated annual amounts paid by the average residential Tempe household for direct services provided by the City of Tempe as well as the estimated total annual amount paid in City of Tempe property and transaction privilege (sales) taxes. These amounts are then compared to the estimated annual amounts paid by the average residential household in seven comparison cities in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
For purposes of this comparison, we utilized the property tax, sales tax and utility service rates as of May 2013. The analysis assumed the same household consumption averages for all cities for both water and wastewater services. However, for property tax purposes, we utilized the median single family home value in each respective city in the analysis. The sales tax amounts are based on the Phoenix metropolitan area median household income. As such, this analysis is intended to reflect what the average residential household would pay for each of the services or pay in taxes in their respective city.
