TITLE FOR AGENDA ITEM:
Resolution certifying amounts to be levied by Whatcom County taxing districts to the County Assessor
SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:

Certification of levies to assessor.
(1) It is the duty of the county legislative authority of each county, on or before the thirtieth day
of November in each year, to certify to the county assessor the amount of taxes levied upon
the property in the county for county purposes, and the respective amounts of taxes levied
by the board for each taxing district, within or coextensive with the county, for district
purposes.
(2) It is the duty of the council of each city having a population of three hundred thousand or
more, and of the council of each town, and of all officials or boards of taxing districts within
or coextensive with the county, authorized by law to levy taxes directly and not through the
county legislative authority, on or before the thirtieth day of November in each year, to
certify to the county assessor the amount of taxes levied upon the property within the city,

the taxing district. This subsection (3) does not apply to state levies or when the assessor
has not certified assessed values as required by RCW84.48.130 at least twelve working
