Tax lines that move Marana payments
Pima County's average total tax rate was 13.63 per $100 in FY2025-26 (8.85 primary plus 4.78 secondary), which is $351 a year more per $100,000 of limited value than Maricopa County's average of 10.12. It is an all-property average, so use it for direction, not for a particular home. Housing here is young: the median home was built in 2008 and 78% of units are from 2000 or later, against 4% from before 1980.
FHFA's Tucson metro index changed +39.5% over five years and +1.9% over the last year (through 2026 Q2), 3.2 points ahead of the statewide five-year change of +36.3%. It measures repeat sales across the metro, not Marana alone. The population estimate for Marana rose 26.2% between the 2020 Census and 2025, 6th-highest of 37 places for population growth, so check each home's own tax area and dues instead of assuming the city median applies.
