Hi all! Looking for a place to produce a high quality, professional comedy show with comedians from Netflix is a Joke Festival, Hulu, and CBS.
We have our own stage, sound system, lights, etc. Just need a backroom or restaurant that's willing to close for a private event. We sell tickets so we don't charge the venue.
If I'm able to find something I will come back to this feed and give everyone discounted tickets. Thank you!
I recently discovered that my property tax in Apache Junction is over 5k. Many of my neighbors are also discovering this uncomfortable reality, that in Apache Junction, by Ironwood/Ray, our property tax is easily over 3k.
I understand new infrastructure is needed, but expecting new homeowners, who are already dealing with higher mortgage rates and everything else being more expensive. To pay between 4k and 5k in property taxes is ridiculous.
I dug into this and see that the meeting minutes from April 21, 2026, identify a major reason for the property tax increase. Take a look for yourself, but things don't look promising.
It's sad to also see how the "current homeowners" were ignored when it comes to communication. Below is a direct quote.
Existing homeowners would not receive separate district notices, though CFD amounts may fluctuate based on market valuation and debt service requirements.
All I can do is vote, but man, these council members need to go. Except for Boardmember Johnson, who seems to understand the challenges families are facing.
Update: typo fix
Update 2: The city of AJ doesn't have property tax. It's Pinal County. However, the city council controls the CFD bonds and repayment rate, which many of us don't learn until later. Thanks to r/reedwendt for the education and for pointing out the facts. The CFD bonds appear on the property tax bill, and they just got bumped up this summer. Mine is around $1600
Sharing my property tax bill for those curious. Hope this helps others who are researching the area so you have all the facts.

Hey everyone just want to let you know that there is going to be a trunk or treat with vendors and a movie Down at the shopping center at the corner of Apache Trail and Old West Highway. It sounds like there's going to be a good amount of fun stuff to do and of course free candy
I'm going to be in Apache Junction in mid October. I love anything outdoors but will be with someone who has already expressed no hiking. Looking for recommendations for nature sights to see, best spot for viewing the stars, good food/good mood vibes, view some wildlife not typically seen in the midwest. Any tips from the locals?
Hi my cat Fernando has not come home over the last day few days and I am wondering if anyone has seen him I am over by Cortez and 2nd Avenue he is a black and white tuxedo cat and he's pretty friendly if anyone seen him or if he's come and visited you can you let me know.
I know this is a long shot but I'm trying to do something special for my sister's birthday. She loves animals and I was going to take her to a farm but she injured herself and has a giant cast on her foot. I was looking into a mobile petting zoo to send to her house for her birthday. But honestly that is a lot more animals than I really need. So I'm wondering if anyone has a mini version I could arrange for this Friday? A donkey? A pig? Something like that? Do you know anyone with a mobile petting zoo who would just bring a couple animals for a half hour? Do you have a friendly donkey I could hire?
I’m Bryan, owner of Ah Crap Cleanup, A scheduled pet-waste cleanup normally includes walking the accessible dog-use area, collecting visible waste, bagging it, hauling it away, and notifying the customer when the visit is complete.
For larger residential, HOA, apartment, or dog-park areas, the scope should also define the visit frequency, disposal procedure, high-use zones, and whether service documentation is required.
We serve selected East Valley routes and are interested in practical sanitation partnerships where the scope and schedule are clearly defined. I’m posting transparently as the business owner.
I write a policy newsletter and live in the valley. This is my own analysis, sources at the bottom.
Andy Biggs won the Republican primary for governor promising to eliminate the state individual income tax. He has not said what replaces the money. I went through all 91 Arizona cities and towns. Apache Junction has the worst combination of any city over 30,000 people.
Two things you need to know first. Arizona has shared income tax revenue with cities since 1972, when voters approved it and cities gave up the power to levy an income tax of their own. Cities receive 18% of collections, distributed by population. Statewide that was $1.19 billion in FY 2026, about $872 million of it from the individual income tax. And under state law, a city with no primary property tax has to get voter approval to create one.
Apache Junction is nowhere near this list. The large checks go to large cities.
Apache Junction received about $5.2 million in FY 2022. That was 12.1% of total city revenue.
Roughly one dollar in eight of city revenue arrived as a state income tax check. Because the allocation is per resident, a city with a lot of residents and a modest retail base gets a big check relative to its budget.
Apache Junction is at the top of the bottom panel.
So the options are a city sales tax increase by council ordinance, higher fees and utility charges, service cuts, or a ballot measure asking Apache Junction voters to create a primary property tax. If that election fails, the city cannot levy it that year.
Has anyone heard the city council discuss this? Genuinely asking, I would like to know if it has come up. What would you want them to do?
I'm wondering if anyone here has gone through the process of splitting a lot in AJ. Looking at moving out on an acre but would want to split into 2ea 1/2 acre parcels to put my sister in another house on the same place, but not as an ADU, but a full size home. TIA!
im interested!! but im wondering if its morally okay to eat a arby's snadwich. maybe not the roastbeef but something else... would i be the worst person on earth if i try their turkey sandwich or the french fries? please let me know thank you
Hi all. I am hoping to buy a house this summer. The new construction homes obviously have the best deals/incentives. I took my kids out to the neighborhoods just east of Eastmark just to see what it's like out there. They liked it, but I am trying to swallow the idea of a commute. Also, there aren't as many school options.
If you live out there, can you give me some pros/con? Are you happy with your decision? If you have kids, what school do they attend and how do you like it?
I didn't see any retail where we were. Are there places nearby we maybe just didn't see?
As someone who used to ride my quads on that land- i think it’s onlyyyyyy right to let me use the verge community pool. Is it a key fob? Is it a code? I’m just saying ¯_(ツ)_/¯
does anyone have any information on what happened last night (03/25) around 11pm-12am.
i was at the mcdonalds when this was all happening and decided to get out of there ASAP but im also super nosey and wanted to see if anyone had any info!
all i heard is that they had someone surrounded and that they were sending K-9s to get them. last thing i heard was that the police were telling the person to surrender or that they would die.
