Arizona has taxed individual income at a single flat 2.5% rate since tax year 2023 -- a real state income tax, unlike Texas, Tennessee, or Florida elsewhere in this dataset (Arizona Dept. of Revenue, see arizona.js for full sourcing). This applies identically in Sahuarita as anywhere else in the state.
A real, verified, distinctive fact: zero town-level property tax
Per the Town of Sahuarita's own official FAQ page, the Town itself levies zero property tax, no business license fees, and no impact fees (Town of Sahuarita, retrieved 2026-08-24). Pima County's base property tax levy, local school-district levies, and Community Facilities Districts tied to specific subdivisions still apply on top -- so this doesn't mean zero property tax overall, but it's a genuine, distinctive, primary-source-confirmable fact none of this dataset's other Arizona towns share.
The lowest combined sales tax among this dataset's three Arizona towns, with a disclosed outlier
Sahuarita's combined sales tax rate is 8.1% (5.6% Arizona state + 0.5% Pima County + 2% Town of Sahuarita) per Avalara's 2026 figure, below Marana's and Oro Valley's 8.6% and Paradise Valley's 9.1%. A separately-dated 2025 source instead cited 11.1%, not corroborated elsewhere and disclosed as a likely stale or differently-scoped figure rather than used as the primary rate (Avalara, retrieved 2026-08-24).
Notably low homeowners insurance
Sahuarita homeowners insurance is cited at $850-$1,200/yr for a standard HO-3 policy on a $300,000 home -- notably below Arizona's statewide average of $2,225-$2,602/yr (GetHomeInsuranceQuotes.com, retrieved 2026-08-24), though one source's wildfire-risk framing for the town reads as inconsistent with its low-desert setting and wasn't independently corroborated.
