The Rio Verde Fire District appeared to be on the hook for nearly $800,000 as the result of a lawsuit that related to tax calculations by the Maricopa County Assessors Office.
However, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in late July voted to authorize $14 million to cover the shortfall that fire districts faced.
A statement from Board Vice Chairman Thomas Galvin, who represents District 2 which includes the Verde Communities, says that for several months county leaders have been in communication with special districts impacted by the Qasimyar v. Maricopa County court ruling.
