Lake Havasu City Council considers final budget, tax levy, and new housing development

The Lake Havasu City Council met June 23 to consider adopting the final budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and setting the property tax levy. The agenda, posted ahead of the meeting, also included votes on an airport infrastructure grant, a rezoning for 68 new homes, an annexation request, and housing rehabilitation guidelines. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so the outcomes of these votes are not yet known.

Budget and Property Tax Levy

The council was scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposed property tax levy before voting on the final budget. The budget and levy amounts were not specified in the agenda summary. Adoption of the budget is the final step before the new fiscal year begins, and the tax levy directly affects property tax bills for city residents.

Airport Infrastructure Grant

A Federal Aviation Administration grant for reconstruction of the terminal apron pavement at Lake Havasu City Airport was up for approval. The grant would fund a capital improvement project at the airport. No dollar figure for the grant was listed in the agenda.

Proposed Residential Rezoning

The council considered a rezoning application for 68 attached single-family homes at 1926 Swanson Avenue and 1851 Magnolia Drive. The project would require a zoning change to allow attached single-family development on the two parcels.

Annexation

Also on the agenda was the annexation of territory located at 3500 Highway 95 North. No further details about the property or its intended use were provided in the meeting summary.

Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines

The council was to vote on guidelines for the city’s housing rehabilitation program. The specific provisions of the guidelines were not included in the summary.
