Buckeye Bond

The Buckeye City Council approved the formation of the 2024 Buckeye General Obligation Bond Exploratory Committee in December of 2023. Committee meetings began in January of 2024 and continued through April. The meetings and recommendations of the Bond Committee can be found on our Committee Meetings webpage.

The City Council affirmed the recommendation of the Bond Committee to hold a General Obligation Bond election on November 5, 2024. This will be the first bond election held by the city in nearly 40 years. Council voted to present two questions to the voters for their consideration.

Question 1/Proposition 494: Public Safety

•   $137 million for public safety projects, including:
  • Public Safety Headquarters
  • Training facilities
  • Westpark Fire Station
  • Victory Fire Station

Question 2/Proposition 495: Streets & Transportation

• $145 million for road improvements to ease traffic and enhance safety, including:
  • Widening Indian School Road from Jackrabbit to Perryville
  • Eliminating pinch-points throughout Buckeye
  • Installation of lighting along parts of Sun Valley Parkway

Both Propositions were approved by the Buckeye voters, which will be funded through a secondary property tax. The Total Tax Rate will not exceed $2.25. Buckeye’s current primary property tax rate is $1.60 that would put the secondary rate at $0.65. If the bond was in place for 2024, the annual cost impact would be $115 based upon the median Limited Property Value of $176,839.
