<p>Christmas time in lake communities takes on an added dimension.  In addtion to the he annual ritual of displaying holiday lights in the front yard,  waterfront lots can decorate the backyards which can be seen from quite a distance.   Some lake communities even schedule a boat parade to show off decorated boats. Some communities such as Val Vista Lakes and<a title="the islands" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2011/10/16/waterfront-homes-at-the-islands-lake-community-in-gilbert-az/" target="_blank"> The Islands in Gilbert </a>make the boat parade an annual event.</p>

<div>As with a search for any home, Phoenix area waterfront property buyers have their criteria that best describes their dream home.  When describing Phoenix real estate waterfront homes, there is an additional parameter that is often important; a lake that allows boats. Instead of going to a park, a waterfront home owner may decide to go &#8220;crusing&#8221; around the lake.   Some communities allow boats and some do not.  Most lake communities only allow pontoon boats that are powered by electric motors.  To enjoy a true motor boat ride you&#8217;ll have to choose from one of the <a title="Ski communities" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/category/waterski-lake-community/" target="_blank">six water ski communities </a>in the valley.  Even if the community does allow boating, make sure and verify that the body of water to which you&#8217;ll have access is large enough for that occasional boat ride.</div>
<div><span id="more-10316"></span></div>
<h3>Pontoon Boats and Valley Lake Property</h3>
<div>There are a variety of reasons why a waterfront property may not allow owners to have an electric pontoon boat or any kind of water craft.  One may <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/06/Custom-Waterfront-Home-in-Chandler-at-Fulton-Ranch.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10333" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/06/Custom-Waterfront-Home-in-Chandler-at-Fulton-Ranch-300x219.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="219" /></a>be that even though the listing agent has designated the property as waterfront, a distant view of H2O on the golf course may qualify as waterfront in their mind but it just isn&#8217;t so.  There may also be a community sidewalk, walkway or common area that separates the property from the water, such as in Sun Lakes, <a title="fulton ranch" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/02/22/fulton-ranch-lake-community-in-chandler-arizona/" target="_blank">Fulton Ranch</a>, and<a title="wellington estates" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/08/23/chandler-gated-luxury-waterfront-homes-wellington-estates-lake-community/" target="_blank"> Wellington Estates </a>in Chandler.</div>
<div>Even when the waterfront lot is directly adjacent to the lake, the body of water may not be large enough or long enough to make boating worthwhile.  This is the case in Chandler&#8217;s<a title="Lagos vistoso" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/03/16/gated-chandler-lake-community-homes-in-lagos-vistoso/" target="_blank"> Lagos Vistoso</a>, where the bodies of water range from 300 &#8211; 800 ft. in length and typically 80 feet wide.  <a title="Crystal Gardens" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/10/17/crystal-gardens-waterfront-homes-avondale-lake-community/" target="_blank">Crystal Gardens </a>is part of the Avondale Wetland project which prohibits boating even though there are many waterfront homes. Other communities that do not allow boating in the community lake include Leisure World, Anderson Springs,</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Arizona Jobs Bill &#8211; HB 2001 will lower business property taxes, targets jobs creation</h3>
<h3><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/03/Property-Tax-Valuation1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9618" title="Property Tax Valuation" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/03/Property-Tax-Valuation1.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="145" /></a></h3>
<p>Arizona is open for business with business property tax cuts and targeted incentives aimed at job creation.  That&#8217;s the purpose and strategy behind HB 2001 that was signed into law last month.  That&#8217;s what the sponsors want you to remember.  <span style="text-decoration: underline"> What they didn&#8217;t tell you is what will happen to residential property taxes</span>.  Buried deep in the 214 page bill is a change to the tax treatment of residential property.  And in this bill what they didn&#8217;t tell you will cost you.  How so? Read on.</p>
<p><span id="more-9599"></span></p>
<h3>Are you a Class 3 or Class 4 Property Owner?</h3>
<p>Class 3 properties include owner occupied primary residences and vacation/second homes.  The  picture above is my Property Notice of Valuation I received in February and shows the legal classification of my home.   If your property falls in the class 3 category, you are currently a recipient of a rebate from the State General Fund.  The State Aid Credit reduced my property tax bill by $273.74.  You can see  the value of this aid or credit in the detail of your tax bill.  To see how to see the<a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/03/State-Aid-Credit1.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-9603 alignright" title="State Aid Credit" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/03/State-Aid-Credit1.gif" alt="" width="559" height="128" /></a> detail of your tax bill including any credit for State Aid Credit, click on<a title="Research your tax bill" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/09/11/making-sense-of-maricopa-county-property-taxes-and-valuations/" target="_blank"> researching your tax bill</a>.   Rental properties fall into the class 4 category which do not currently receive the State Aid Credit.</p>
<p>Under the new &#8220;Jobs Bill&#8221;, vacation and second homes will lose the rebate /credit resulting in increased property taxes.  Besides automatically disqualifying second/vacation homes from the credit, owner occupant homeowners will lose their credit or rebate unless they go through the process of signing and returning  an affidavit beginning in 2012 and then subsequent even-numbered years that they live in the home or if it is being leased to a relative.   The affidavit must be mailed along with the annual Notice of Full Cash Value which must be returned to the County Assessor within 60 days or the residential property will be reclassified as Class Four and owners will see their taxes increase by as much as $600 for the year.  Not being aware of this change and forgetting to return the signed affidavit beginning in 2012,  which is bound to happen to many homeowners,  will mistakenly and automatically increase property taxes for owner occupants who should receive the credit. <strong> **Make sure that next February you read in detail any propert tax valuation notices you recieve and return the affidavit promptly so you don&#8217;t lose out on the tax credit you&#8217;ve been automatically receiving so far!**</strong></p>

<h3>Maricopa County Tax Bills Arrived &#8211; Some Happy, Some Not</h3>
<p>The motivation for this article comes from all the recent news about taxes, and some buyers who say interesting things like &#8220;The property values have gone down, so the taxes better be lower!&#8221;   With that I thought it was the right time to dig in and get to the bottom of this sensitive topic.   I&#8217;m glad I did because there are some interesting facts of which I was unaware.  Read on and find out what is myth, what is reality,  and discover some unknown facts.</p>
<p><span id="more-8161"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Nadaburg-Elementary-District-Increase2.gif"></a></p>
<h3>The Basics of Maricopa Property Valuation- Limited Cash Value and Full Cash Value, and primary and secondary taxes</h3>
<p><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Limited-and-Full-Cash-Value.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8189" title="Limited and Full Cash Value" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Limited-and-Full-Cash-Value.gif" alt="" width="609" height="143" /></a></p>
<p>There are two assessed values used in determining your tax bill.  The primary assessment is called the <strong>&#8220;Limited Value&#8221;,</strong> and the <strong>&#8220;Full Cash Value&#8221;</strong> is the secondary assessment .  Most of the time they are the same value; however the limited value can never be higher than the full cash value.  Besides the possibility of being different numbers, each one is used in the<a title="difference between Limited and full cash" href="http://treasurer.maricopa.gov/taxguide/faq_gen.htm#3" target="_blank"> computation of different taxes</a>. </p>
<p>The<strong> Limited Property Value (LPV) </strong> assessment used to calculate primary taxes  is determined by a statutory formula mandated by the Arizona State Legislature.   The Maricopa County Assessor&#8217;s website further explains,  &#8220;The LPV is used to compute primary taxes for the maintenance and operation of school districts, cities, community college districts and counties. The LPV cannot exceed the property&#8217;s Full Cash Value.&#8221;   In most cases, the primary tax based on the limited value assessment is the larger portion of property taxes.</p>
<p>The <strong>Full Cash Value(FCV)</strong> is intended to be a reflection of the market value of the property including land and improvements.  Quoting again from the <a title="Maricopa County Assessor's website" href="http://www.maricopa.gov/assessor/FaqAll.aspx#PropertyTax" target="_blank">Assessor&#8217;s website</a>, &#8220;The FCV is used to compute secondary taxes, which may consist of bonds, budget overrides, and special districts such as fire, flood control, and other limited purpose districts.&#8221;  When you appeal the valuation, you are challenging the Full Cash Value portion of the assessment.  For more information on this process, click on <a title="Property tax valuation" href="http://www.sboe.state.az.us/howto.php" target="_blank">appealing the property tax valuation</a>. </p>
<h3>The devil is in the details of your tax bill</h3>
<p>To really understand what is happening with your tax bill you need to drill down and identify each component.  The general categories under which taxes are listed are Primary(Limited) Tax Amounts, Secondary (Full Cash) Tax Amounts, and Special District Details.   The line item details of these categories are very revealing and explain why taxes decrease or increase.  For example, those living in the Nadaburg Elementary School District were significantly impacted and most likely surprised by the increase from 2009 to 2010.  Below is the actual tax detail for a resident in Wittman whose overall taxes increased from $1,318 in 2009 to $2,055 in 2010 due to a <strong>346%  increase</strong> in the Nadaburg Elementary School district assessment, or $961. See line item detail below.</p>
<p><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Nadaburg-Elementary-District-Increase2.gif"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-8174" title="Nadaburg Elementary District Increase" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Nadaburg-Elementary-District-Increase2-1024x88.gif" alt="" width="756" height="121" /></a></p>
<p>This is why it is important to understand and analyze the specific line items of your tax bill.</p>
<h3>Analyzing the details of you Maricopa County Tax bill<a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Address-Link-on-MC-Assessor-website3.gif"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8233" title="Address Link on MC Assessor website" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Address-Link-on-MC-Assessor-website3-300x111.gif" alt="" width="331" height="134" /></a></h3>
<p>To see the detail of your taxes start out at the <a title="Maricopa County Assessor website" href="http://www.maricopa.gov/assessor/" target="_blank">Maricopa County Assessor&#8217;s website</a>.  Look for the &#8220;Advanced Search Options&#8221; link which will take you to a page where you can enter your address. You&#8217;ll be able to search based on <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Address-Link-on-MC-Assessor-website.gif"></a>address, subdivision, or your last name and street.</p>
<p><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Link-to-Treasurers-website1.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8235" title="Link to Treasurer's website" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Link-to-Treasurers-website1.gif" alt="" width="408" height="122" /></a></p>
<p>Once you&#8217;re on the assessor&#8217;s page for your property, you can access the Maricopa County Treasurer&#8217;s website (where the tax line item detail resides) via a link on the assessor&#8217;s page.  Look for the link &#8220;View Tax Information&#8221;.</p>
<p>This will take you to the Maricopa County Treasurer&#8217;s website (don&#8217;t give up we&#8217;re almost there!)  This will tell you <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Tax-drill-down2.gif"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8238" title="Tax drill down" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/09/Tax-drill-down2-300x101.gif" alt="" width="353" height="123" /></a>your most current tax bill as well as the history for your property.  The last link you&#8217;ll need to click is the &#8220;Tax Bill&#8221; link in the upper left hand corner of the page. The tax bill page will break down your property taxes by line item detail and you can also see which special tax district assessments you pay for at the bottom of the page. Make sure and scroll down to see the individual taxes.   It&#8217;s also nice because it shows the previoius year vs. the current year tax liability.   While my overall property tax bill went down, there were some that did increase.   You&#8217;ll also notice that the majority of your taxes go towards education.</p>
<p>Remember the assessor sets the valuation of the property and the treasurer&#8217;s office assigns the taxes for the property based on the assessed values, but these activites take place at different times of the year.   You receive your notice of valuation typically in February of valuation of your property for the next calendar year. </p>
<p>The next important event is in September when property owners are advised of their <a title="Sample tax bill" href="http://treasurer.maricopa.gov/taxguide/taxbill.htm" target="_blank">tax liability </a>for that year.   You may say &#8220;Wow, we find out almost 3/4 of the way through the year of our taxes for that year?&#8221;  Correct, but you also pay your taxes in arrears so the first half taxes are due October 1st, and the second half are due March 1st of the next year.</p>
<p>Lastly,  there is a common but mistaken belief that property taxes should rise and fall in sync with property value.  That&#8217;s very appealing right now when home values have fallen.  Charles Hoskins, the Maricopa County treasurer answered the question in a <a title="AZ republic article" href="http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/09/03/20100903metro-phoenix-property-tax.html" target="_blank">recent article in The Arizona Republic</a>, &#8220;We often hear from citizens wanting to know why their tax bills have gone up, even though the assessed value of their property has gone down. And the answer is increased government spending,&#8221;    Operating budgets are established which drives  the total  tax levy required via direct taxation and then the tax rates are set to support the budgets.</p>
<p>I believe the best way to summarize the process is property values and assessments do NOT determine the total taxes  that will be collected.  They only determine the DISTRIBUTION of the total tax levy among homeowners.</p>
<p>Fortunately, Arizona has the 39th  lowest property taxes in the nation.  Just ask anyone who has relocated from back east.  My sister lived in New Jersy and her property taxes were more than my total house payment!  One town in Massachusetts has seen their<a title="Denham Mass tax increase" href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/08/22/mass_home_values_down_but_tax_bills_rise/" target="_blank"> property taxes increase 64%</a> since 2000.   Right now many homeowners are seeing their taxes turned back to what they were paying during 2000 or 2001.   But every property&#8217;s tax will be different so check out the Treasurer&#8217;s website and see how yours compare.</p>

<p>Ventana Lakes lake community is the only community that I know of  in the Phoenix valley that is part of two cities, Peoria and Sun City, and covered by two zip codes, 85373 and 85382.  Those residents that live west of 107 Ave. are in Sun City 85373, while the Ventana Lakes residents on the east of 107th Ave. are part of Peoria 85382.  Regardless of the city or zip code, all belong to the <a title="Ventana Lakes property owners association" href="http://www.vlpoa.org/" target="_blank">Ventana  Lakes Property Owners Association</a>. Ventana Lakes , situated on 480 acres, has been recognized as the &#8220;Adult Community for the Young-at-Heart&#8221;.</p>

<p> A unique feature of Ventana Lakes is the unique opportunity that every resident has to enjoy the waterfront atmosphere by utilizing the pathways that border the  30 acres of lakes.  On the largest lake, a complete walk around the lake is close to 1.5 miles.  Waterfront home owners can access the walking paths right from their backyard and at the same time enjoy the serene and peaceful waterfront views from their back porch.</p>
<p>The community of 1,700 properties and over 200 waterfront homes enjoys 4 separate pools and 2 spas, a sauna and steam room, recreation and fitness room, handball courts, billiards, bocce ball, and more.</p>
