Verrado is a large planned community in the City of Buckeye, Maricopa County, in the West Valley. Community planning materials describe an 8,800-acre project area.

For city-wide context, Buckeye's Census median home value is $419,800 and median monthly owner costs with a mortgage are $1,887 (ACS 2020–2024). Those are Buckeye-wide figures, not Verrado-only figures.
Which CFD districts cover Verrado?
Verrado District 1 CFD
The City of Buckeye states that Verrado District 1 CFD was established June 19, 2001. It is a political subdivision of Arizona; the City Council serves as the Board of Directors, and the city has no liability for the district's debt. On the Maricopa County property tax statement, Buckeye says the district appears as VERRADO DIST 1 CFD. Debt service is collected through an ad valorem property tax levy on property inside the district.
Verrado Western Overlay CFD
Buckeye also lists a separate Verrado Western Overlay CFD, which appears on tax statements as VERRADO WESTERN OVERLAY CFD. Community disclosure materials state that District 1 includes all land within Verrado, while the Western Overlay District is located generally west of Verrado Way. Confirm which district lines appear on the parcel you are buying.
CFD property tax rates vary by year with debt service and operations needs. Use the current detailed tax bill, not an old estimate. More background: what a CFD tax is · HOA and CFD lookup.
What else affects the monthly cost?
Community association assessments
Verrado has community association governance for residential areas (Community Association and related community bodies described in Verrado governance materials). Assessments, any neighborhood or district association fees, and transfer charges are parcel-specific. Review the HOA / association disclosure packet during escrow (A.R.S. §33-1806 for planned communities).
Base property taxes and insurance
Regular Buckeye and Maricopa County taxes and homeowners insurance also vary by home. If taxes are escrowed with the mortgage, CFD lines are usually collected with that bill.
