A common question out-of-state buyers ask is: If taxes are frozen, is the town cutting back on services?

The answer is a definitive no. Queen Creek recently approved a robust $840.6 million balanced budget, with 56% explicitly dedicated to massive infrastructure improvements. Because the town is rapidly growing, the municipal tax revenue is naturally increasing via new home construction rather than raising fees on existing homeowners.

The current budget fully funds monumental, multi-year quality-of-life projects without adding a single penny to your tax bill, including:

  • A state-of-the-art Queen Creek Police Department Headquarters ($78.9 million).

  • The final landmark funding and delivery infrastructure for Harquahala Valley water resources, moving the town toward complete water self-sufficiency by January 2027.

  • $71.1 million in transportation upgrades, focusing on key lane widening and traffic improvements along Power, Hawes, and Chandler Heights Roads.

Furthermore, all primary property tax revenue generated in Queen Creek is legally dedicated strictly to funding public safety, ensuring our local police and fire departments remain some of the premier agencies in Arizona.
