One of the things that every Buyer considers when purchasing a home is real estate taxes.  After all, that can add a sizable amount to your monthly payment, between $100 and $300 per month for most Tucson homes.  Real estate taxes are assessed annually and paid in two installments, one in April and the other in October.  However, if Arizona follows the example of many other states with transfer taxes, homeowners in Arizona may soon be experiencing what amounts to double taxation.
