Who decides

Maricopa County has a five-member Board of Supervisors. Voters in each of five districts elect one member. Each year the Board sets a tentative budget by the third Monday in July. It holds a public hearing, then adopts a final budget. It sets property taxes by the third Monday in August. 5 Supervisors, one per district, elected together every four years.

Who Taxes Me lists this board's seats once a public map of its districts can be checked. Until then, the board itself is the way to reach it.
