C 434-262-017 Calculating validation figures and results for bonds and levies. (1) For
ds and levies other than school district levies, before determining a jurisdiction's
dation figures, the number of votes cast in the jurisdiction in the last general election
;t be determined. For levies, the state Constitution states, "...the number of persons
ng "yes" on the proposition shall constitute three -fifths of a number equal to forty per
turn of the total votes cast in such taxing district at the last preceding general election...'
example:
0,000 votes cast in the jurisdiction in the last general election x 40% = 4,000 votes x 3/5 =
.400 votes
These numbers should be calculated based on the number of voters credited for voting in
:h jurisdiction, before adding, deleting, or transferring voters following the general
(2) When determining the results of a specific bond or levy, county auditors must not
ude overvotes or undervotes in the calculation. Rounding must not be used to reach the
centage of "yes" votes required for a bond or levy to pass.

Election to authorize increase in regular property
tax levy — Limited propositions — Procedure.
(1) Subject to any otherwise applicable statutory dollar rate limitations,
regular property taxes may be levied by or for a taxing district in an amount
exceeding the limitations provided for in this chapter if such levy is
authorized by a proposition approved by a majority of the voters of the
taxing district voting on the proposition at a general election held within the
district or at a special election within the taxing district called by the district
for the purpose of submitting such proposition to the voters. Any election
held pursuant to this section shall be held not more than twelve months prior
to the date on which the proposed levy is to be made, except as provided in
subsection (2) of this section. The ballot of the proposition shall state the
dollar rate proposed and shall clearly state the conditions, if any, which are
applicable under subsection (4) of this section.
(2)(a) Subject to statutory dollar limitations, a proposition placed before
the voters under this section may authorize annual increases in levies for
multiple consecutive years, up to six consecutive years, during which period
each year's authorized maximum legal levy shall be used as the base upon
which an increased levy limit for the succeeding year is computed, but the
ballot proposition must state the dollar rate proposed only for the first year of
the consecutive years and must state the limit factor, or a specified index to
be used for determining a limit factor, such as the consumer price index,
which need not be the same for all years, by which the regular tax levy for
the district may be increased in each of the subsequent consecutive years.
Elections for this purpose must be held at a primary or general election. The
title of each ballot measure must state the limited purposes for which the
proposed annual increases during the specified period of up to six
consecutive years shall be used.
(b)(i) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (2)(b), funds raised
by a levy under this subsection may not supplant existing funds used for the
limited purpose specified in the ballot title. For purposes of this subsection,
existing funds means the actual operating expenditures for the calendar
year in which the ballot measure is approved by voters. Actual operating
expenditures excludes lost federal funds, lost or expired state grants or
loans, extraordinary events not likely to reoccur, changes in contract
provisions beyond the control of the taxing district receiving the services,
and major nonrecurring capital expenditures.
(ii) The supplanting limitations in (b)(i) of this subsection do not apply to
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=84.55.050 7/23/2014
RCW 84.55.050: Election to authorize increase in regular property tax levy — Limited pr... Page 2 of 3
levies approved by the voters in calendar years 2009, 2010, and 2011, in
any county with a population of one million five hundred thousand or more.
This subsection (2)(b)(ii) only applies to levies approved by the voters after
July 26, 2009.
(iii) The supplanting limitations in (b)(i) of this subsection do not apply to
levies approved by the voters in calendar year 2009 and thereafter in any
county with a population less than one million five hundred thousand. This
subsection (2)(b)(iii) only applies to levies approved by the voters after July
26, 2009.
(3) After a levy authorized pursuant to this section is made, the dollar
amount of such levy may not be used for the purpose of computing the
limitations for subsequent levies provided for in this chapter, unless the
ballot proposition expressly states that the levy made under this section will
be used for this purpose.
(4) If expressly stated, a proposition placed before the voters under
subsection (1) or (2) of this section may:
(a) Use the dollar amount of a levy under subsection (1) of this section,
or the dollar amount of the final levy under subsection (2) of this section, for
the purpose of computing the limitations for subsequent levies provided for
in this chapter;
(b) Limit the period for which the increased levy is to be made under (a)
of this subsection;
(c) Limit the purpose for which the increased levy is to be made under (a)
of this subsection, but if the limited purpose includes making redemption
payments on bonds, the period for which the increased levies are made
shall not exceed nine years;
(d) Set the levy or levies at a rate less than the maximum rate allowed for
the district; or
(e) Include any combination of the conditions in this subsection.
(5) Except as otherwise expressly stated in an approved ballot measure
under this section, subsequent levies shall be computed as if:
(a) The proposition under this section had not been approved; and
(b) The taxing district had made levies at the maximum rates which
would otherwise have been allowed under this chapter during the years
levies were made under the proposition.

tax approved by the voters under this subsection prior to January 1, 2011.
(b) If a county adopts an ordinance or resolution to submit a ballot
proposition to the voters to impose the sales and use tax under subsection
(1) of this section prior to a city within the county adopting an ordinance or
resolution to submit a ballot proposition to the voters to impose the tax
under this subsection, the rate of tax by the city under this subsection may
not exceed an amount that would cause the total county and city tax rate
under this section to exceed three -tenths of one percent. This subsection (2)
(b) also applies if the county and city adopt an ordinance or resolution to
impose sales and use taxes under this section on the same date.
(c) If the city adopts an ordinance or resolution to submit a ballot
proposition to the voters to impose the sales and use tax under this
subsection prior to the county in which the city is located, the county must
provide a credit against its tax under subsection (1) of this section for the
city tax under this subsection to the extent the total county and city tax rate
under this section would exceed three -tenths of one percent.
(3) The tax authorized in this section is in addition to any other taxes
authorized by law and must be collected from those persons who are
taxable by the state under chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW upon the
occurrence of any taxable event within the county.

(4) The retail sale or use of motor vehicles, and the lease of motor
vehicles for up to the first thirty-six months of the lease, are exempt from tax
imposed under this section.
(5) One-third of all money received under this section must be used

purposes of this subsection, "criminal justice purposes" has the same
meaning as provided in RCW 82.14,340.
(6) Money received by a county under subsection (1) of this section must
be shared between the county and the cities as follows: Sixty percent must
be retained by the county and forty percent must be distributed on a per

(7) Tax proceeds received by a city imposing a tax under this section
must be shared between the county and city as follows: Fifteen percent
must be distributed to the county and eighty-five percent is retained by the
city.

Notes:
Finding -- Intent -- 2003 1st sp.s. c 24: "The legislature finds that
local governments in the state of Washington face enormous challenges
in the area of criminal justice and public health. It is the legislature's intent
to allow general local governments to raise revenues in order to better
protect the health and safety of Washington state and its residents. It is
further the intent of the legislature to provide such local governments
relief from regulatory burdens that do not harm the public health and
safety of the citizens of the state as a means of minimizing the need to
generate new revenues authorized under this act." [2003 1st sp.s. c 24 §
1.]
Effective date -- 2003 1st sp.s. c 24: "This act is necessary for the
immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support
of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes
effect July 1, 2003." [2003 1st sp.s. c 24 § 6.]
Severability -- 2003 1st sp.s. c 24: "If any provision of this act or its
application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of
the act or the application of the provision to other persons or
circumstances is not affected." [2003 1st sp.s. c 24 § 7.]
