What is Annexation?

Annexation is the process of adding your property to the fire district’s service area. Homeowners may be surprised to learn that their property may not automatically be included in the District.  However, if  your property is continguous to an existing property within the Avra Valley Fire District, under Arizona law you can choose to apply for annexation into the District.   Once approved, a portion of the property taxes which the resident pays will be allocated to the District ensuring access to emergency services, including fire suppression and ambulance response.  Depending on when your annexation is added to the tax rolls, it may take up to two years before you see any changes reflected on your property tax bill.
