Business Forum - OV Taxes and Fees

Description

In response to slowing sales tax and state-shared revenues, Oro Valley is considering expanding its revenue base with three new tax categories: a use tax, telecommunications tax, and commercial rental tax. These could generate between $930,000 and $1.88 million annually. In addition, the town proposed raising the stormwater utility fee by $2 per month (from $4.50 to $6.50) and parks and recreation fees are also set to increase, particularly for non-residents, for programs, facility use, and field rentals. These changes could significantly impact local businesses including retail, hospitality, and commercial tenants, and influence overall operating costs. 

Your Chamber is hosting a business feedback forum on Thursday, September 11 at 3:30 p.m. in the Sunset Room at the Oro Valley Community Center. This is an opportunity for business leaders to learn more, ask questions, and provide input on how this would affect their businesses.

Please join us! We need to hear from you. Your voice matters, and your feedback can help shape how these proposals move forward. Light refreshments will be provided.
