Pima County 2027 Bond Program Recommendations
Summary
Pima County is gearing up for a possible 2027 bond election, and Tucson submitted 17 projects worth about $383 million — a new fire station, a homeless navigation center, road widening, park upgrades, and TCC improvements. Council members are pushing for Tucson to get its fair share, since the city has 53% of the population but may only get 40% of the money.

Impact analysis
Property owners currently pay about $0.08 per $100 of assessed value (~$213 million countywide); the proposed ask could raise that, with Tucson seeking at least 47% of proceeds.
Residents citywide if funded projects — fire, housing, parks, roads — move forward.
Property owners could see higher county property tax bills if the bond passes with a tax-rate increase.
